Take to the Skies
See the flamingo and elephant habitats from a completely different perspective: from above! Soar on the new Flying Flamingo zip line attraction that rises 100 feet off the ground and speeds up to a wind-whipping 30 miles per hour.
Marine Life on Display
Explore ocean life in the heart of the country. The 650,000-gallon Sobela Ocean Aquarium is home to nearly 8,000 animals including sharks, sea otters and a giant Pacific octopus – and admission is always included with your zoo entry.
