💬 What Parents Say

  • 💡Plan your visit around sea lion feeding times (11:15 AM, 2:00 PM, and 4:00 PM) - this is consistently highlighted as a must-see experience and a favorite among visitors
  • 🕐Visit on weekdays when homeschooling families do, as you'll encounter fewer crowds and can take your time enjoying the animals without feeling rushed - reviews note this allows for a more relaxed, memorable experience
  • 💡Bring your own snacks and consider eating before arrival - food options inside the zoo are limited and noticeably pricey, making this a significant cost-saver for families
  • 💡Allow 2 hours to see the main zoo area, but plan extra time for the children's farm area where toddlers can feed alpacas and other farm animals - this is consistently identified as the highlight for young visitors
  • 💡The zoo's small size is a major advantage, not a drawback - it's perfectly walkable for toddlers and young children without feeling overwhelming, making it ideal for families with little ones who tire easily
