About Us

Enchanted Immersive Zoological Center is a one-of-a-kind destination where wildlife meets fantasy. Our hands-on experiences combine exotic animal education, interactive storytelling, and a STEM-based curriculum to transport guests into a magical realm of wonder and wildlife. Fun and engaging for children K–12, unconventional learning, 4-H organizations, and adults of all ages, each habitat tells a story—blending conservation and education with imagination. Rooted in zoology and life science, each experience inspires a new way to see and understand the animal kingdom.

About Our Founder

Welcome!

I’m Mara—a proud 90’s baby raised on the golden age of educational TV, where my love for animals first took root. From a young age, I was captivated by all creatures great and small, especially the ones that slithered, crawled, and hopped. I spent countless hours collecting caterpillars, frogs, lizards, and worms—building makeshift enclosures (though keeping them contained was always a bit of a challenge, haha!).

My passion for exotic animals truly ignited thanks to the legendary Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter. His fearless spirit, infectious enthusiasm, and deep respect for wildlife showed me that animals aren’t something to fear—they’re something to understand, protect, and admire. He inspired me to become an advocate for animal conservation and education.

Through the Enchanted Immersive Zoological Center, I’m proud to carry that torch forward. This is more than a place to see animals—it’s a place to connect with them, to learn their stories, and to awaken the wonder that lives in all of us. Whether you’re here to handle reptiles, feed a marsupial, or step into a world where fantasy meets zoology, I hope you leave inspired, curious, and enchanted.
