We visited on a Friday and the park was fairly empty and we got great parking and up close visits to the animals. The birds are all beautiful, so is the tigers, camels, giraffes, deer and all the other wildlife. Tickets were expensive, $40 for adults $20 for kids but you really do see a lot of animals. And I got to feed a giraffe! The train was a nice add on ride. Did not try the food there.
