Guided Story
Can you hear the cheerful chatter of the birds? It feels like they've put on a special concert just for your visit. Take a look around; you'll see animals thriving in habitats that mimic their natural environments. Did you know that when this zoo first opened, it was more like a small farm? Over the years, it has blossomed into the incredible place you see today. On hot summer days, you can enjoy the shade of the ancient trees and listen to the soothing breeze. In winter, when snow blankets the paths, the park takes on a magical quality. Take a moment to soak in the peace and watch the animals frolic in the crisp snow. And if you glance to the east, you might catch a glimpse of the Water Pyramid sparkling in the sunlight.
