The zoo features an impressive variety of species including tigers, lemurs, giraffes, monkeys, snakes, and birds, with visitors encouraged to hand-feed many of the animals for a close-up wildlife experience. Private animal encounters with baby and ambassador animals are available, along with giraffe observation sessions offered throughout the week.
