Grinchmas at the Ranch

Join us for our annual Grinchmas event with your favorite exotic animals and the Grinch!  Bring the family out to celebrate Christmas on December 13th. Exotic animal encounters, sweet treats bar, family photos with the Grinch, personalized ornaments and more. We have hourly tours available throughout the day.

Come for a tour that lasts an hour to visit monkeys, lemurs, foxes, otters, snakes, wildcats, coatis and bearcat. The Grinch will be in attendance to take photos with the whole family, fun facts about exotic animals, photo backdrop to snap a cute holiday picture, personalized ornament tree for the kids, complimentary sweet treats and more!

Get up close and personal with all the exotic animals and take part in hand-feeding, petting and photos.

Each time slot during the day has a limited number of tickets available to keep our tours manageable so everyone gets the best experience and individual interaction. Children under the age of 3 do not need a ticket but are welcome to join the family.

What to expect during the event:

Animal Encounters

  • Meet our Spider Monkeys! Tour their playroom, hand-feed them their favorite snacks and watch them swing around during this up-close encounter. You will have the pleasure of seeing Winston, Quinley, Mila, Brodie, Lolie, Pip, Mia, Rebecca and Abu.
  • Meet our Ruffed Lemurs! Soraya and Theo love for you to give them treats and Edwin loves to snuggle. Plus, our new babies Giada and Alani!

  • Meet our Otters! Fisher and Ocean are the most playful animals here at the ranch.
  • Meet our Reptiles! We will have some of our ball pythons available for handling for those that are interested. Ball Pythons are one of the most docile reptiles around.
  • Meet our Wildcats! Our African Serval, Azura, is as cute as can be. Our African Caracal, Elias, is ready to be pet!
  • Meet our Coatis! Tosca, our Mountain Coati, is becoming more playful each day. Talulah, our White Nose Coati, is such a sweet baby.
  • Meet our Binturong! Ravenna, the bearcat, is ready for snuggles. She is our adorably cute new baby that smells like popcorn. 

Extra Activities

  • Grinch Photos – We will have a photo backdrop setup for you to take photos with the Grinch.

  • Special Treats – enjoy complimentary sweet treats bar + hot cocoa.
  • Grinch Ornaments - when purchasing a child ticket make sure to enter their name correctly so they can claim their personalized ornament off our Grinch tree.

Add On

  • Meet our Sloth! For an additional fee, you can spend 15 minutes in a quiet room with Stanley.  He may sleep most of the day, but he sure loves his healthy veggie snacks too! Come pet his adorably soft back and feed him some sweet potato or greens.  The add-on option of having a sloth encounter is very limited due to his love of peace and quiet.

What To Expect

  • Meet your favorite exotic animals during an interactive experience. Get hands-on and up-close with monkeys, lemurs, otters, foxes, a sloth, wildcats, coatis and snakes.

  • Hand-feed, pet and play with our well socialized exotic animals. We provide all the treats and snacks for you to entice them to quickly become their new best friend.

  • Capture these rare moments and your special memories with as many photos and videos as you’d like during the event.

Do we get to hold the animals?

Yes! Our ruffed lemurs are cuddlers. Fisher and Ocean, our asian small clawed otters love to play. Our ball pythons are one of the most docile reptiles for handholding.  We cannot guarantee holding any of the monkeys, they decide who they go to. Handling primates is based on trust that is earned. They will happily eat from your hand and let you pet them.

Can we take photos?

Of course! We encourage photos and videos with your favorite exotics. Don’t forget to tag us on social media if you share! @funkymonkeyranch We will also have a photo backdrop set up to encourage capturing your memories.

Can we bring our own food for the animals?

We will provide all the fresh fruit and veggies for handfeeding. If you just love to give or have a home garden, the animals love just about all produce and Gerber baby puffs as a treat.

If I can't make it, can I get a refund?

Unfortunately, our event tickets are non-refundable. We try to provide a fun experience during our events and use the ticket money to cover costs for the event in advance. To make sure there is enough treats and food for everyone to feed and activities for those in attendence, we plan our event budget around the ticket sales.
