💬 What Parents Say

  • 💡The shallow edges of the pool allow hands-on interaction with stingrays - you can touch their backs or let them gently 'lick' your hand. The deeper center provides a refuge for rays that prefer not to be touched, so both interactive and observational experiences are available.
  • 🕐Stingray Bay is spacious and designed to avoid crowding, making it comfortable even during busier zoo visits. This makes it a great spot to visit at any time without worrying about packed conditions.
  • 💡The exhibit has climate control features - overhead fans cool the space during hot months, and the building can be heated and closed in cold months. Plan your visit accordingly, especially with young children.
  • 💡Staff members are knowledgeable and friendly - take advantage by asking them about the different stingray species and their unique features. This enhances the educational experience beyond what signage alone provides.
  • 💡This attraction is particularly engaging for children who enjoy hands-on animal interactions. There are no age or height requirements, making it accessible for visitors of all ages.
