What to expect
Visitors of all ages enjoy their time in the zoological garden and wildlife conservation facility, but children especially like it. Because of the size of the grounds, allow at least a half-day to see everything. Wear walking shoes. Families are permitted to bring their food and drink to the zoological garden, however, there are cafés and restaurants there as well.
The zoo is separated into bioclimatic zones and natural habitats, which include humid rainforests, deserts, and coastlines. Among the zoo new-borns as of fall 2015 are gorillas, penguins, and lion cubs. It has won more than 65 prizes and it is award-winning in various categories. The Zoo wants to preserve the Endangered Species Act.
A petting zoo and farm area are located at the entrance, and there are feedings and displays all day long; the raptor show is especially remarkable. You can organize your day and make the most of your trip with the family with the help of a free smartphone app.
