The Journey Begins!
This spring, visitors can get closer than ever to our African wildlife in their vast new Savanna habitats. Lions and giraffes are already back on exhibit with elephants soon to follow. Plan your visit now.
The rhino is currently off exhibit. We are working on new training with him behind-the-scenes to help enhance his welfare but are working hard to get him back on exhibit as soon as possible.

Lions are dominant predators lording over the food chain wherever they roam. What they have over every other big cat, and over every other African predator, is strength in numbers. They know that when it comes to catching dinner, it pays to cooperate.
