• Although shuttle trains provide transportation, participants are still encouraged to wear comfortable walking shoes.
• Wearing sun protection, such as a hat, sunscreen, and/or sunglasses, is especially important in outdoor areas.

Timing and Duration

• Along with being in cooler temperatures, animal activity peaks during their feeding.

What To Expect

• Participants will walk between possible trolley stops and animal viewing areas.
• During very hot weather, animals tend to be less active during the hottest part of the day.
• Educational talks or feedings occur at scheduled times.
• This will also provide opportunities for multiple photographs throughout your day.
• There are food courts and restaurants available throughout the park.

Important Rules

• Always remain in all designated areas (and follow all safety instructions).
• While other experiences may give you opportunities to feed animals, feeding animals is otherwise not allowed.
• Participants are encouraged to keep noise levels low in various animal zones to avoid disturbing the animals' activity.
• Flash photography may not be permitted in some regions of the park.
• Always follow the direction of any park staff for your safety while visiting the park.

What To Bring

• A camera is recommended to capture great nature and wildlife pictures.
• Water (from a water bottle) is safer than dehydration, and the park has regular access points with water fountains (for refilling options).
• Wear comfortable clothing for some walking for almost the entire experience.
• Most suitcases and bags are too big. A small backpack for personal items is suitable for some excursions.
• Some cash is planned to buy food and souvenirs, but how about a credit card?

Smart Tips

• If weekdays are suitable, consider visiting on weekdays to avoid crowds and experience the animals without the stress of large crowds.
• You will need to check schedules daily to determine whether it is worthwhile to manage the park to see specific feedings, times, and educational presentations.
• You may arrive earlier on exploration when animals are more active.
• At specific locations, use the shuttle train to recover between walking.
• If there is a free app map, it may have additional visuals and animal program show times.

Best Strategy For Visiting

• Morning - Explorer Safari when animals are at their most active.
• Mid-Morning - Using the shuttle train, explore the other themed villages and interactive areas.
• Afternoon - Finally sit in on an educational presentation, or manage an interactive experience.
• Late Afternoon - Possible final animal viewing, or souvenir purchasing at the gift shop.

Weather Factors

• If the heat is too oppressive, indoor areas will leave visitors feeling calm and comfortable.
• While experiencing the themed villages, or areas, may have been less enjoyable than the comfort of an indoor experience, if visiting in the 'peak' summer months.
• Animals may have felt it would be more enjoyable to remain in the shaded areas rather than the outdoor areas or animal zones.
• Also note that early morning may be the best time to provide the most comfortable visiting temperatures throughout your experience.

Perfect For

• Families with kids who love animals, people, or nature experiences.
• Wildlife enthusiasts or individuals with a passion for nature and photography.
