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!
4/18/25 - 11:30 AM Update: Zoo parking is temporarily at capacity. Drivers will not be able to enter the Zoo parking lots until more parking spaces become available, which may take anywhere from thirty minutes to over an hour. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to keep guests, staff, and animals safe during our busy Spring Break period!
