Best time to visit
Early morning or late afternoon offers cooler temperatures and more active animals for a better visit experience. Weekdays tend to be quieter and more personal.
Budget tips
Entry is free, but donations are encouraged to support the animals' care. Volunteering is a great way to contribute time instead of money and gain a deeper experience.
