Top Zoos Sanctuaries in Tampa

If you’re looking to save on food, bring your own snacks or a packed lunch. The dining options are pricey for what you get, and there are nice picnic spots in the park!

I recommend getting there right when they open around 9:30 AM. It’s way less crowded and you can see the animals more up close. Plus, you’ll have more time to explore before the heat sets in!

I noticed they have cool discounts for military and Florida residents. If that's you, don’t miss out on saving some cash by bringing proof.

Definitely bring some snacks and drinks. The prices at the café are a bit high, so I brought my own and saved some cash for souvenirs instead.

My advice is to bring extra snacks and a refillable water bottle. Food inside is a bit pricey, and you'll want to stay hydrated while exploring!
