Our Zoo and Aquarium Expert Says:
The rides and attractions are well known, but the zoo will equally amaze and astound you. Rhino Rally, for one, takes you on an off-road safari race competition through wildest Africa where you'll see rhinos (of course) and other native beasts. Other up close animal encounters take place in Lory Landing where you can watch brilliantly colored parrots, lorikeets, and hornbills all around. Observe hundreds of beautiful African animals from the Serengeti Express Railway, Skyride, Serengeti Safari, and various walkways as you prowl through naturalistic settings. You can even walk through mist and fog to watch great apes in their natural habitat. And that's just the beginning....
