-
Will I see animals?
Some animals may be visible, but others will be off-view as keepers wrap up their morning tasks before opening the zoo.
-
What if I arrive late?
Early entry ends promptly at 8:45 a.m. so the zoo can prepare to open to the public at 9 a.m. If you arrive after 8:45 a.m., please wait until 9 a.m. to enter the zoo.

Can I bring more than one guest?
