Welcome to Capy Hour Cafe, where coffee meets conservation and every visit feels like a step into the heart of Brazil.

Created by the same family behind Big Red’s Barn, Capy Hour Cafe is a dream brought to life through our lifelong love of animals, education, and immersive experiences. While we are proudly family-owned and operated under the same hearts that run Big Red’s Barn, Capy Hour Cafe operates as its own unique entity, with a dedicated entrance and exit separate from the zoo. This allows us to create a specialized, intimate, and thoughtfully designed environment centered entirely around our resident capybaras.

Our Mission

At Capy Hour Cafe, our mission is simple yet powerful:

To inspire compassion, conservation, and creativity by creating meaningful connections between people and animals in an immersive, educational, and joy-filled environment.

We believe that when people experience animals up close in a respectful, thoughtfully designed space, it sparks curiosity. Curiosity leads to learning. Learning leads to conservation. And conservation protects the future of species like the capybara and the ecosystems they call home.

Everything we do is rooted in:

• 🐾 Animal-first care and ethical standards

• 🌿 Conservation awareness and education

• 🎨 Inspiring creativity through nature

• 🤎 Creating safe, memorable, heartwarming experiences

Step Into Brazil

From the moment you walk through our doors, you’re transported into a lush, biophilic jungle escape inspired by the capybaras’ native home of Brazil.

Our cafe has been intentionally designed to feel immersive, filled with warm textures, layered greenery, natural wood tones, and jungle-inspired décor that simulates the wetlands and rainforests where capybaras thrive in the wild.

We want you to feel like you’ve stepped into their world, not the other way around.

By blending nature-inspired design with comfortable café culture, Capy Hour Cafe creates a peaceful environment where guests can slow down, sip something special, and learn about one of the world’s most beloved and social animals.

More Than a Cafe

Capy Hour Cafe isn’t just about adorable faces and good drinks, it’s about creating impact.

Through interactive learning opportunities, conservation storytelling, and immersive design, we hope to:

• Teach guests about South American ecosystems

• Highlight the importance of habitat conservation

• Encourage empathy toward animals worldwide

• Spark creativity inspired by nature

We believe education works best when it feels magical.

A Family Passion

Capy Hour Cafe is a natural extension of the heart behind Big Red’s Barn. Our family has always believed that animals have the power to change lives, to teach kindness, patience, and responsibility.

This cafe is another way for us to share that passion with our community.

Whether you’re here to sip, learn, relax, or simply spend time in the peaceful presence of capybaras, we are honored to welcome you into our jungle-inspired world.

Welcome to Capy Hour. 🌿☕🐾
