You can’t see everything. Prioritize animals that offer strong behavior windows.


Highlights at a Glance

Animal Where Best Time Viewing Tip
Gorillas Congo Gorilla Forest Morning Wait for eyes in light; be patient
Tigers Tiger Mountain Cool hours, enrichment Angle off glass; watch scent paths
Rhinos Wild Asia Monorail Late morning shade Left-side seats; scan tree lines
Lions Big cat habitat Mid-day rest, golden hour Compose off-center; wait for expressions

Tip: Check the day’s schedule for any keeper talks—short, valuable context bursts.


Mini-Route (2–3 Hours)

  1. Congo (40 min) → 2) Tigers (25 min) → 3) JungleWorld (30 min) → 4) Sea Lion Pool (show window).

Photo Add-On

  • Finish with Monorail if clouds roll in; motion looks better without harsh sun.

Bottom Line

Go behavior-first: plan around animals when they move, forage, or interact.
