Hi Sydney, the best time to come when it is so hot is right when we open 7 a.m. for the public and 6 a.m. We have splash pads, misters and several air conditioned buildings to keep cool. Have a wild day!
Best thing to do is go when the gates open at 7 a.m. There's alot of water fountains and indoor exhibits.. Do those in the afternoon. They also have a train that takes you around the zoo, it cost extra but we'll worth it.
It's outside and HOT.
Morning is best you will get the most out of the experience around 12 it does heat up.
My kids and I went to the petting zoo area and there was an air conditioned building called the Holstein room. It was enough to keep my kids busy for 30m and get cooled down some.
Yes, the heat is overwhelming at times. It's good to go in the morning 😊 The animals stay in the shade too.
Go in the morning. It only starts getting overwhelming around early afternoon. There are a couple of water parks for the kids to splash in as well as multiple water/fan most areas to cool off in.
