When they open, you’ll see some changes right away. There will be different animals and new features to make your visit better. One of the most talked-about additions is seeing the lemurs up close in a unique setting. One of the biggest highlights this year is the arrival of four lion cubs. Their names are Beau, Romeo, Venus, and Valentine, and they’ll be with their mom, Bisa.

Two Ways to Explore

This location gives you two different experiences in one trip. You can walk through the main park or take a drive through the safari area to see animals from your vehicle. Between the two, there are over 100 kinds of animals calling the park home.

Plan Your Visit

Both areas will be open every day from 10 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon. Just keep in mind that the last entry times are a little earlier in the day. Whether you’re planning a family outing, a day trip, or just looking for something different to do, they are ready to welcome you back for another season. By the way, there are also plans for a low ropes course opening in June. NICE!
