EXTENDED HOURS

March 14-29 | Daily

See the Zoo in a different light!

We are extending our hours to 6 PM during Spring Break, March 14-29. Zoo members will be able to enjoy the Zoo from 9 AM to 6 PM and non-members from 9:30 AM to 6 PM, with last admission at 5:15 PM for both.

Use this extra time to experience some Zoo residents getting ready for bed, while others are just starting their day! You may hear the lions do their evening roar, see Lemur Island buzzing with dinnertime activity, watch our Brazilian porcupine dig into her breakfast and more.

Some activities will be extended like the train, Treetop Trek and kayak opportunities while animal feedings locations will close at normal times.

For those wanting to enjoy Illumi-Nature, a combo ticket is available to experience the Zoo during the day and at night. Learn More

 

Earlybird Opportunities

 

Some of our animals, including our giraffes, prefer to head into their night habitats early. When you arrive, be sure to check with a staff member at the front for recommendations on who to visit first.

 

Our Africa Kayaking tours and Cape to Cairo Express train will make their final voyages of the day at 4 PM and 4:15 PM, respectively.

 

Certain sections of the Zoo will also close as normal at 4:45 PM, including The Barnyard, Lands of Change aviaries and the Kangaroo Walkabout.

 

 

Night Owl Activities

 

Take a bonus hour to kayak, go ziplining or get wet! Hop in Wetland kayaks and swim in Paws On until 6 PM. Treetop Trek Aerial Adventures, including Canopy and Zip It!, will have last admission extended until 4 PM.

 

The gift shop and food services will also remain open until 6 PM.
