However, on our visit it was over 90 degrees, and they could still be found hopping around. Look for places where the animals have access to water, as that typically leads to more activity. As mentioned above, this includes the tigers, but also the seals and sea lions. We camped out there for a while, and they were very active. We would also recommend the nature trail around the pond, found behind the bears.
The only animals are in the natural scenery, like turtles, ducks, and chipmonks. However, it is a short path, and is completely in the shade. You come out on a trail by more animitronic dinosaurs on your way to the zebras.
One other animal callout is the anteater. The anteater can now be found outside in the middle of the zoo, outside the pachyderm house by the abandoned nature stage.
A map of where these are can be found here , and also in several places at the zoo. One of the perks of going to the zoo during this time is the bathrooms. The zoo is doing a great job of ensuring the bathrooms are cleaned. Each bathroom we visited was visibly clean. View past newsletters. Skip to main content Skip to section navigation Search website:.
