Spring Break Alert
The Zoo anticipates high attendance through April, especially on sunny, warm days. For safety and guest experience, the Zoo may limit admission once parking reaches capacity. This will not only help with crowd management but will also provide a more relaxed and enjoyable visit for guests and their loved ones. Consider arriving early or carpooling, and check our site / social pages often for more updates!
