Visitors will have the opportunity to step inside this simulated Central/South American rain forest and embark on a "treasure hunt" for brightly-colored frogs, birds and reptiles among the lush greenery native to Central and South America. Stingray Bay: A Touching Experience is also now open for its third season! Stingray Bay is open daily during regular Zoo hours; admission is $1 or free for Fresno Chaffee Zoo members.
