I had reservations (due to the pandemic) for 1:00 PM two days in a row. Both days it was quite empty, which I loved. There are signs and arrows telling you which directions to walk in to avoid crowding. I also noticed that the tiger was out both days and he is usually hiding. Perhaps he feels a bit more comfortable with less people there. Plenty of snacks and drinks available. The restaurant by the giraffes is also open still.
