Insider tips

Bring a high-quality sun umbrella or hat, as much of the park is exposed to direct sunlight with limited natural shade.

Wear comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes as the park covers a large area with significant walking paths between exhibits.

Check the daily event schedule upon entry to catch specific animal feeding demonstrations.

What to avoid

Attempting to visit during the height of the midday summer sun without adequate hydration, as the park features large, open walkways with minimal shade.

Good to know

Etiquette

Do not feed the animals human food; use only the provided animal feed sold within the park. Keep noise levels low near enclosures to avoid distressing the animals.
