Do you need to purchase regualar admission tickets to get into the zoo as well as the tickets for the lantern experience or do you just need the lantern tickets since the zoo is closed?
A:
Just Lantern experience tickets, you can’t see any animals.
Hi - was wondering what time of day you went that the gorillas were so active? Was it the same with other animals?
A:
We always go around 10 and gorillas always on a move, at least some, other is having a breakfast. Later if we are there again they still playing and doing there things.
How long does it take, on average, to get through the zoo? I am trying to schedule a time slot.
A:
We were there about 2 1/2 hours but that was in February and some of the animals were not there at that time but there was still many, many animals to see
