Yes, absolutely!

If you mean all of every exhibit and area, it would not allow many pauses. Start early, plan and research the must sees, and you would have a nice long day. Consider a day when its open into evening. We enjoy some of the summer evening events. Good luck!

I have been many times with my family and I think you will see most of the zoo. Children get both tired and impatient and don't want to see exhibits or animals that don't capture their imagination. Relax, go with the flow and your day will be wonderful!

You will be fine when I solo the zoo during the week I get there at 9 am or 10 and leave at 330 to 500 pm and see everything except I don't stop for planned animal events like feedings. or face paint. Kids.attractions that take long ...families that stop frequently to eat or rest ext..need to stay longer ..it os very likely if you stroll along you basically have wings off a circle with several areas that spurr off ..you can see everything in 4 hours. I just go 2 times to get my full *fix*lol awsome place don't miss it...

Yes, you can. But go early and stay late.

Yes, you can see it all in a day but it will be a long day. Try one of the days when they are open late for a more casual pace.

I just went for the first time in almost 30 years with my kids (5 and almost 3) and I would say if you haven't been recently it would be difficult to see every exhibit. I think we covered about 2/3rds of the area but only saw about half of the animals. However, it is a fantastic zoo and I am definitely sad we didn't get to see everything as we were in from out of state and don't know when we will be back.

Megan Tracy | Aug 6, 2018

Yes it is possible! I would go when they open and you should be good (maybe finishing between 3-5pm, depending on the groups walking pace, lol).

Kathy Pelot | Aug 6, 2018

Yes. Won't take all day. Plan 4-5 hrs depending on if you have kids, have lunch etc. Will take time. Dolphin show hamil kids zoo, both extra money, will take extra time.

Yes but there's a lot to do
