It takes a bit of walking to see all the exhibits in one day, so you’ll need to refuel often to keep your energy up.

One of the most popular dining options is Twiga Café, which serves classic fare like burgers, salads, pizza, and snacks like trail mix and fresh fruit.

The restaurant is directly across from the giraffe and rhino habitats, so you watch the gentle giants while you eat.

This takes the phrase “dinner and show” to a whole new level.

Something to reconnect with nature.

Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.
