Top Zoos Sanctuaries in Utah

If you can, try to go on a weekday. The weekend crowds can be a nightmare and I found it so much easier to enjoy the exhibits without bumping into people.

Check out the schedule for animal feedings and talks. Those are super cool and it's a great way to learn about the animals up close, I nearly missed one!

Get there right when they open at 9 AM! The animals are more active and it's less crowded. I felt like I got to see a lot more without the rush.

I reccommend bringing a refillable water bottle. There are water fountains around, so it's easy to stay hydrated without spending a ton on drinks.

I think visiting on a weekday around 2 PM is best. The crowds are much smaller then, and you can really enjoy the peace and beauty of the gardens.

If you can, try to plan your visit during the spring or summer for the best blooms. I went in early fall and some areas were starting to wilt, which was a bummer!
