The park focuses on protecting endangered animals through partnerships with conservation groups in the region. Visitors see how breeding programs and wildlife protection work together to help animals survive.
The park is open most weekdays from morning through early evening, with longer hours on weekends. It helps to wear comfortable shoes and plan time for each section, as the grounds are quite large.
