The Wildlife Learning Center rescues animals and provides outreach and on site education in wildlife biology. The outreach program is the largest in Los Angeles with classes taught by their friendly and enthusiastic biologists. The center is nestled in an old olive grove where more than 70 different species of rescued and zoo-born wild animals call this shady, natural environment home.

Stroll along the paths and enjoy viewing the animals or sign up for a more intimate experience with a customized tour or animal interaction. Be sure to catch their trainer talks happening on the hour every hour starting at 12 pm. During their trainer talks one of their staff members will introduce an animal to meet up close and sometimes even touch!

Culver City Park is home to a new open ropes course, run by Fulcrum Adventures. The “Culver City team building high ropes challenge course” features eight elevated events, including a fifty-foot climbing wall, a beam walk, a power pole, and a trapeze jump. Looks scary but very fun!

The team building high ropes challenge course features elevated events that thrill and give participants and organizations the opportunity to rise to their full potential. The course begins with a large, fifty-foot leadership climbing wall capable of simultaneously supporting two individuals while they scale their way to a panoramic view of the city. Other elements include high team building wire walks, a partnership balancing beam, a leadership leap of faith, and the giant swing.

In addition to high ropes challenges, the Culver City location also offers spacious picnic and activity grounds for meals, games, and team building activities. Their staff utilizes this beautiful environment to develop a memorable, exciting, and enriching program for clients.

Nestled among trees, the ropes course challenge offers breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding coastal cities. It is conveniently located near the 405 and 10 freeways.
