Get a great overall view of the Zoo on a train ride. Then jump on the back of a zebra as you take a spin on the antique carousel. Next, check out the Zoo’s newest residents in our Africa Exhibit, mother and daughter Giraffes, Sue Ellen and Alberta. Stop by the Tiger Exhibit and the Hyena habitat before you stop to watch our Colobus and DeBrazzas monkeys swing freely from tree to tree. Make sure you plan your visit so that you can enjoy the delicious Boerwaars Burger at Ladha’s Cantina, and cool off with a PINEAPPLE DOLE WHIP®, snow cone or Pop’s Brothers Popsicle for dessert. Kids and kids at heart will enjoy cooling off in the Splash Pad, and mom and dad can look on from the shade of a private cabana.
