Before the Zoo opens, walk the Tropics Trail and watch as the animals wake up for the day. From howling gibbons and crooning hornbills to grunting lemurs and honking flamingos, open your ears to the chorus of songs welcoming you to a morning in the tropics. Get a bird's eye view from our special aviary treehouse and be entranced as the tropical birds come to feed for the morning. This experience is ideal for photographers, families, and birders of all sorts!
