💬 What Visitors Say

• 💬Bring plenty of water - visitors report water fountains are still turned off throughout the zoo. Pack refillable bottles or plan to purchase beverages from concessions.
• 🕐Visit during Members Mornings (9 a.m. entry Saturdays and Sundays through October 31) for a less crowded experience if you have a membership, or consider joining to access this perk along with free parking benefits.
• 💡Catch animal demonstrations running Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day when staff present facts and information about animals - reviews highlight staff are 'chalk full of facts and information,' making these educational sessions particularly valuable.
• 🕐Plan to visit during warmer weather when large animals like hippos, elephants, and rhinos are more active and visible. Reviews note animals are more likely to be out and playful rather than resting during heat.
• 💬Come prepared with a cashless payment method as the zoo operates on a cashless system. Note that outside food is not permitted, but picnic tables at parking lots allow you to eat before/after your visit.
