💬 What Parents Say

  • 🕐Arrive early and plan to stay 2+ days if possible. Reviews highlight that the zoo is always crowded and there's too much to see in one visit. Consider splitting your visit across multiple days to fully enjoy all exhibits without feeling rushed.
  • 💡Don't miss the interactive animal feeding experiences at 3:00 PM (Bee-Eater and Sea Lion) and 3:30 PM (Penguin). Plan your route to hit these keeper talks and feeding times for the most educational and engaging experience.
  • 💡The petting zoo with farm animals is a major highlight for young children and is located at the end of the trail. Budget time for this interactive experience, which visitors note is particularly engaging for toddlers and little ones.
  • 🕐Visit in spring to see baby animals and new arrivals, which adds educational value and creates memorable experiences. Spring also aligns with seasonal programming like Spring Adventure World Premiere.
  • 💡Note the last entry time is 4:15 PM with exhibits closing at 4:30 PM and the zoo closing at 5:00 PM. Plan accordingly so you don't arrive too late to experience the main attractions, especially the petting zoo.
