The Africa and Tropics Trails take about an hour each and the Arizona and Children's Trails take about a half hour a piece. You should plan for approximately 2 and a half to 3 hours to see the entire Zoo, depending on the size and ages of your group, and how fast you walk.

We have many picnic tables located throughout the Zoo. They are available on a first-come first-serve basis. Private ramadas may be rented for special occasions.
