We highly recommend their mountainous sausage and egg sandwich for breakfast. If dining in the afternoon/evening, order a side of shoe-string, rosemary fries with your meal. You will not regret it.

Entertainment & Activities
Check out the new elephant enclosure and the classrooms nearest the tiger exhibit. We are always impressed with the focus of conservation this zoo has. Buy some tickets for summer zoo concerts in the summer months as well, but come early to beat the crowds.
