Remember to Wear/Bring:
- Comfy shoes – Unless you’re prepared to ride the tram and miss many of the close encounters with the animals, be sure to wear some comfy walking shoes. After a full day at the zoo, you’ll have easily walked 2+ miles. With that kind of walking, no one wants to deal with blisters!
- Protection from the sun (if you’re going when it’s warm or you live somewhere warm) – Sunglasses or a hat are a must at the zoo if you’ll be outdoors. You’ll be walking outside for the majority of your time there and want to make sure your face is protected (with the cutest of accessories, of course).
- Camera – There are endless picture opportunities at the zoo — you won’t want to miss them! Be sure to bring your trusty iPhone or fancier camera and snap away!
General Zoo Visit Tips:
- The earlier you go, the better! The animals are more active in the morning, as it is cooler (and who doesn’t get excited about breakfast?). It is also less crowded, so you’ll have front-row views to all the animals.
- Bring your student ID. Many zoos will give you a discount off ticket pricing (or free admission) with a valid student ID.
- Check the calendar before venturing to the zoo. Many zoos host events, whether it is a walk to raise money or lending out their conference rooms for other organizations. These types of events will result in large crowds, so make sure to double check.
