Practical Tips
Six small things that make a long day easy.
02
Walk the perimeter loop
The full campus loop is about two miles. Most families plan a half-loop with one or two indoor breaks at HerpAquarium or Glacier Run.
03
Eat away from the noon peak
African Outpost and Wild Burger offer mobile ordering. Members save 10% on food. Eat before noon or after 1:30 for a quieter table.
04
Walking Club starts at 8 a.m.
March 1 – October 31, the campus opens at 8 a.m. for the Walking Club (exit by 9:30). A quiet way to see the animals before the gates open.
05
Use Passmate inside the park
Our partner wayfinding app picks up where this site leaves off — GPS-enabled paths, exhibit markers, animal spotlights, and live updates.
06
Sensory bags at the entry plaza
KultureCity sensory inclusion certified. Ask the welcome team for sensory bags, a quiet-space map, and accessibility-aware route options.
Accessibility
Designed for every visitor.
In partnership with KultureCity, we offer sensory bags, a quiet-space map, and a trained team that can help guests with sensory needs navigate the campus. Wheelchair and stroller rentals are available at the main entrance.
