Tips & Advice
- Reserve ahead of time, because the walk is by advance reservation only and tickets are tied to one date with no exchanges.
- Dress for a frosty evening outdoors, because most of the walk is outside between animal houses and food stops.
- Choose the mushroom pan with herb sour cream at the tapir house if you'd rather skip the kale with Kassler.
- Ask for the non-alcoholic alternatives if you're driving or not drinking, because they're provided in place of the alcoholic drinks.
- Give the walk as a gift for friends, family or colleagues, because the zoo offers it as a gift experience.
