What the day feels like
What the day feels like
Expect a theatrical, family‑centred rhythm: half‑hourly performances that gather crowds at the treehouse, followed by photo opportunities and roaming interactions as you move through a warm, greenhouse‑like trail of enclosures and displays. Activities are scheduled throughout the day so you can shape the visit to a single performance or a longer exploration of the zoo’s species and interactive exhibits.

Plantasia is a warm, tropical environment—dress in layers that can be removed and carried as needed.
