Visitor tip
If visiting with young children during cold or rainy weather, take advantage of the indoor pony corral so kids don't miss out on pony rides. Standard pony rides have a 65 lb weight limit—verify your child's weight in advance.
Visitor tip
Giraffe feeding and the Dinosaur Adventure exhibit (opening August 16, 2025) are included with general admission—prioritize these as they're popular photo opportunities and animal interaction highlights.
Best time
Veterans and Active Military receive free admission on Veterans Day with military ID. Check the venue calendar for seasonal special events (Fall Farm Festival, Easter activities, Sukkot celebrations) to time your visit around activities that interest you most.
