​

The trams are only running between the two entrances and Junction Plaza, approximately in the middle. There is a lot of walking and it is hilly so wear your best walking shoes!

 

Manual Wheelchairs and Electric Convenience vehicles (ECVs) are available for rent from the Gift Shop at the entrance. 

 

Lunch – there are 4 restaurants open in the zoo with salads, burgers, pizza, etc.  There is no picnicking allowed inside the zoo but you can certainly bring snacks and drinks.  There are also snack shops along the way.
