It was for the "Tiger Tunnel" Experience at the Cougar Mountain Zoo.
From their website:
Experience the World of Tigers under the guidance of one of the Zoo’s Tiger Keepers. Start with an informative mini lecture all about Tigers. Enter one of the top world class Tiger Habitats in the Country. Start your journey by entering a glass walled tunnel, where in a protective environment through 7/8 inch laminated safety glass walls, you can observe the Zoo’s famous rare Tigers socializing and displaying natural behavior.
It was pretty neat! They rotate each day between two sets of tigers who are either in the outdoor area, or this indoor area. The two tigers we saw today are about 8 years old, and were baby cubs from another zoo when they were brought to Tiger Mountain Zoo.
Apparently, they were more active for us today than for other private tours. The zoo keepers gave them each a large feather (from the emus, I think) to play with. Our tour lasted about 20 minutes. It was neat to have a private viewing of these two big guys in their indoor habitat. They are so much bigger up close than you may realize!
