15th Splash Bash

May 27–June 15

We're celebrating 15 years of fun starting Memorial Day weekend. From a live DJ to the Zoo’s Character Ambassadors to specialty 15th anniversary items, this is one party you won't want to miss.

Open-Air Safari

Explore, learn, and relax while you observe rhinos, giraffes and many other rare and endangered animals roaming in large, natural settings.

Open-Air Safari tours are approximately 2+ hours long.

Zipline Tours

Fly over herds of Sichuan Takins basking in the sun and Père David's deer grazing around pasture. These professionally-guided zipline eco-tours are perfect for adventure seekers.

Wildside Tours

Go off the regular tour roads to get closer to the action. You might drive right up to a herd of rhinos or close enough to feed a giraffe. Each experience is unique! Tours are approximately 2+ hours long.

This exciting 2023 addition is geared towards our youngest guests–toddlers–with new interactive features, fun aquatic animals, and small waterslides. Plus, relax with shaded seating, perfect for hot summer days!

Adults only! Start out at The Sandbar, our walk-up and swim-up bar, then grab a tube and your favorite adult beverage and float along our 700-foot, 160,000-gallon heated lazy river.
