  • Please note that there is no guarantee to see every species on your visit. The well-being of our animals is important to us, and therefore, they are given the choice to use their entire habitat (indoor and outdoor) during different seasons/times of the day. There may be times when the animals are in another area of the habitat or participating in a biomedical training session with the animal care team for example.
