Animal lovers with a keen sense of adventure can go on vacation with the Minnesota Zoo. The zoo offers “edventures” for adults and teens to locales near and far. Whether travelers are canoeing a local river or hiking Machu Picchu, the trips are designed to bring travelers closer to animals through exclusive, intimate experiences with nature, says Tyler Ahnemann, the zoo’s unique experiences specialist. While the trips are high energy, they’re also very low-stress because the itinerary and travel logistics are all planned in advance. A host from the Minnesota Zoo, along with local expert guides, handles all the details.
