- Arrive early if you want the free party favors, because they are handed out only while supplies last.
- Bring a reusable water bottle, since outside food and drinks aren't allowed but there are refill stations and water fountains around the Zoo.
- Dress for the weather, because the Zoo is outdoors, stays open in most conditions and does not offer rainchecks or refunds.
- Bring a stroller or wagon for little ones, or rent one in the gift shop, because other wheeled devices like scooters are not allowed.
