1. 1.Arrive right when they open (8:00 AM on weekends) to beat the crowds and catch the animals when they're most active and hungry for interaction
2. 2.Bring hand sanitizer and baby wipes,you'll be touching animal feed and lots of curious noses will be near your windows
3. 3.Keep windows rolled up initially and crack them slowly to control how close animals get, especially helpful if you have nervous younger children
4. 4.Wear clothes you don't mind getting a bit dirty, and consider bringing a change of shirt for kids who get overly excited with feeding
5. 5.Purchase extra feed buckets,they go faster than you think when every child wants to feed every animal, and running out halfway through disappoints kids

Visit on weekday mornings (Tuesday-Thursday, 9:00 AM) for the smallest crowds and most attentive animals. Weekends get busier, creating longer wait times at the entrance. Cooler months (October-March) are ideal as animals are more active in Texas heat, and spring brings baby animals.

Animal feed is available for purchase at the entrance (bring cash and cards, but confirm payment methods). The drive-through format makes this accessible for families with strollers or mobility concerns since you stay in your vehicle, though there may be walk-about areas as well.

Spring (March-May) is particularly special with baby animals being born. Summer can be very hot, making early morning visits essential as animals may be less active in afternoon heat. The park operates year-round, but cooler fall and winter months offer the most comfortable experience for both families and animals.
