💬 What Parents Say

• 🕐Plan for 1-2 hours maximum since the zoo is only 7 acres. Arrive right when it opens to see the most animals active and avoid crowds, especially on weekdays when the zoo is quieter and more peaceful.
• 💡The Redwood Sky Walk is the signature attraction and the main draw—prioritize this as your first stop. The animals are secondary, but the walkway through the old-growth redwoods is genuinely unique and worth experiencing early before fatigue sets in.
• 💡Visit during winter or off-peak seasons expecting reduced animal activity—many animals may not be visible during colder months. Check ahead or plan to focus on the Sky Walk and barnyard petting zoo if viewing specific animals like red pandas or bears is your main goal.
• 💡Bring bamboo donations to support the leaf-eating animals and engage in hands-on conservation. This is a unique way to contribute to animal care while teaching kids about wildlife nutrition.
• 💡Time your visit around evening Forest Fest events or seasonal celebrations like World Otter Day (May 24) or Party for the Planet (Earth Day) for enhanced educational programming and a different experience than daytime visits.
