Good to know
Weather Safe:
Since much of the venue is covered, it's a great choice even on rainy days.
Insider Tips:
Go early to enjoy cooler temperatures and catch the animals at their most active.
Bring a good camera — free roaming lemurs and colourful birds make for fantastic photo moments.
Wear comfy shoes — you'll stroll through gardens, aviaries, and indoor exhibits.
Don’t rush – allow 1.5 to 2 hours to explore at a relaxed pace.
Important To Note:
The attraction no longer features live butterflies.
Don’t feed the animals — diets are carefully managed by keepers
While generally safe, some animals may interact closely, which could be startling for small children
