Take time to read the educational signs throughout the zoo—they provide detailed information about each animal's names, stories, and habitats, significantly enhancing the learning experience for visitors of all ages.
Plan to see the grizzly bears early in your visit when they're most active and playful. Note that bears may be hibernating during winter months, so check seasonal schedules before visiting.
