Are you a morning person who’s ready and roaring to go to the Zoo on the weekend? Join us for Breakfast with the Animals – an opportunity to rise, shine and dine with your favorite Zoo residents!

Flock to the Zoo with your fellow early birds and catch exclusive access to the trails before we open to the general public. Gobble down some grab-and-go breakfast foods, migrate to your favorite animals’ habitat, and get a bird’s eye view of how morning meals are made on the wild side.

Gates open at 8am and close at 9:30am. The Zoo will open to the public at 10am.

Event takes place rain or shine!

 

Each ticket includes various breakfast foods, exclusive access to animal’s morning routines, and all-day Zoo admission.
