💬 What Parents Say

  • 🕐Visit during winter months to enjoy indoor exhibits as an escape from cold weather - the zoo maintains a variety of covered attractions even in off-season, making it a viable year-round destination rather than just a summer venue.
  • 💡Don't miss the Butterfly Exhibit - it's consistently highlighted as a must-see attraction by visitors and appears to be one of the zoo's standout exhibits.
  • 💡Before visiting as a member, check the zoo's website or call ahead to confirm which exhibits are open, as some exhibits rotate and closures may not be communicated to members in advance.
  • 💡Members receive free parking, which adds significant value to membership - factor this into your membership ROI calculation if you visit frequently.
