💬 What Parents Say

• 🕐Visit when temperatures are above 50 degrees Fahrenheit to see more animals outside. During colder months, animals are relocated to warm barns, so plan accordingly or check seasonal updates before your visit.
• 💡The giraffe feeding experience is extremely popular with long wait times (300+ people reported). Arrive early in the day or during less busy times to increase your chances of participating in this signature activity.
• 💡Be prepared for extra walking, especially with ongoing renovations and the detour to the African Safari area. Wear comfortable shoes and allow extra time for navigation beyond typical zoo walking distances.
• 💡Check the zoo's blog posts to learn about seasonal animal locations and where animals spend winter months. This educational context enhances understanding of animal behavior and seasonal care practices.
• 💡The zoo offers Birthday Parties and event spaces with food service, making it an excellent venue option for celebrations while experiencing the African safari exhibits.
