Llama Trek 2026
You “herd” right! Llama Trek is back at the Minnesota Zoo. Llama Trek, the special experience along the Northern Trail, allows guests to walk among free-roaming llamas.
May 23 – September 7
With minimal separation from the animals, guests will get a great opportunity to observe llamas lunching, llamas munching, llamas scratching and llamas napping. The Llama Trek experience is included with general Zoo admission. For additional fees, guests may also feed a llama or try walking a llama on our designated llama walk path. Don’t forget the camera! If you’re in love with llamas, make sure to check out our unique Backstage Pass experiences, too!

Have you herd about Llama Trek? Bring your flock to this immersive new exhibit featuring llamas and guinea pigs. Guests will walk among llamas, without barriers! However, we ask that guests stay on the walking path and do not touch the llamas. The llamas will be much more fleeced to meet you that way.
It is located outdoors, along the Zoo’s Northern Trail.
Llama Trek is scheduled to open Saturday, May 23. It will be open daily through Labor Day, September 7.
Hours for Llama Trek will be 9:30 am – 6 pm daily, weather-permitting.
