I don't have to tell you about the amazing animals. Everyone knows that.

My suggestion: Go first. The bus is perfect if you have not been or haven't been in a while so you can get the lay of the land. This will help you go to the areas you want to see.

The bus ride will take approximately 45 minutes. It's always nice to take the driver and host is usually entertaining and will share their knowledge about the animals but point out areas they don't drive by, where the shuttle bus, the 4D movie, and random facts.

The thing I seem to forget is the horticulture is fantastic. Plants from all over the world. Take time through out your visit and admire them. You will have time as you walk through the park.

It's always a good day at the zoo.
