Swing by each exhibit and see what the animals are up too and listen in to the daily keeper activities or sign up for a special tour for a once in a lifetime magical experience.

Plan ahead and pack the kids swimmers (or at least a spare pair of clothes) and let them burn some energy in the recently launched African themed Waterhole featuring hippo and elephant sculptures and an array of automated jets.
