You won't want to miss the zoo's two newest guests - the Giant Pandas - Bao Li & Qing Bao you can visit them at their renovated habitat on Asia Trail. But don't miss all the other furry and feathery friends in the zoo's 163 acres. The Zoo offers a variety of dining and shopping options located throughout the park. Visitors are welcome to bring their own food and snacks into the zoo.
