Tiger Splash
Experience the wild heart of Africa
he Tiger Splash Show is the flagship attraction at Out of Africa Wildlife Park in Camp Verde, Arizona, where large Bengal tigers plunge into a pool to play, run, and swim with their handlers. Because the park opens daily from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM and schedules events sequentially, the best way to plan your visit is around a 1-day itinerary that maps out all major tours, shows, and feeding events.
