The Zoo anticipates high attendance, 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.

A young child wearing a blue baseball cap and an orange t-shirt looks intently at a small turtle in a shallow blue plastic container filled with dark brown substrate. A man wearing a blue t-shirt with "NC Zoo Staff" printed on it and a staff identification badge sits beside the child, also looking at the turtle. They appear to be outdoors on a sunny day, with a glimpse of a rocky area in the background.
