We go right when it opens so it's cooler and typically there is more animal activity. We used to get a discount with our local (Oregon) zoo membership, but I guess that partnership has changed. We also bring reusable water bottles, snacks and sunscreen with us. <br \/>\n<br \/>\nAll the staff are friendly and there are so many passionate volunteers onsite as well. We had several great conversations with staff and volunteers throughout our last visit. You can tell how much they genuinely care about the animals, They also are well versed in facts and fun tidbits about the animals as well. <br \/>\n<br \/>\nWe love going to the wallabies enclosure- it's our kids's favorite. We go there first since it tends to be less busy and the wallabies are not chilling in the shade yet. It's so special to walk through and have the wallabies just hang out near you and jump around. <br \/>\n<br \/>\nWe loved seeing so many wonderful animals- wolves, giraffes, zebra, rhinos, monkeys, just to name a few. You could easily spend at least half a day here. There is also a splash pad area for the kids to cool off. If in the area I highly recommend you check out The Living Desert.<\/div>\n<div class=\"sb-expand\">\n\t<a href=\"#\" data-link=\"\">\n\t\t<span class=\"sb-more\">...<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sb-post-item-wrap sb-new sbr-item-04_17_2026ChIJWSnj21n2oARigSDrOQlrOELandinBeckett sbr-provider-google\">\n\t<div class=\"sb-post-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"sb-item-provider-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livingdesert.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/reviews-feed-pro\/assets\/icons\/google-provider.svg\" alt=\"google\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sb-item-author-date-ctn sb-fs\">\n\t<div class=\"sb-item-author-ctn sb-relative\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sb-item-author-img sb-relative sbr-gdpr-image\"\n\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Landin Beckett\"\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.livingdesert.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sbr-feed-images\/google-04_17_2026ChIJWSnj21n2oARigSDrOQlrOELandinBeckett-avatar-150.png)\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-url=\"https:\/\/www.livingdesert.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sbr-feed-images\/google-04_17_2026ChIJWSnj21n2oARigSDrOQlrOELandinBeckett-avatar-150.png\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-type=\"background\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <div class=\"sb-item-name-date\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"sb-item-author-name sb-relative\">Landin Beckett<\/span>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"sb-item-author-date sb-relative\">4 weeks ago<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sb-item-rating sb-fs\">\n\t\t<span class=\"sb-relative\">\n\t\t\t<div class='sb-item-rating-ctn'>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"sb-item-rating-icon \"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<path d=\"M12 2l3.09 6.26L22 9.27l-5 4.87 1.18 6.88L12 17.77l-6.18 3.25L7 14.14 2 9.27l6.91-1.01L12 2z\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/svg><\/span><span class=\"sb-item-rating-icon \"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<path d=\"M12 2l3.09 6.26L22 9.27l-5 4.87 1.18 6.88L12 17.77l-6.18 3.25L7 14.14 2 9.27l6.91-1.01L12 2z\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/svg><\/span><span class=\"sb-item-rating-icon \"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<path d=\"M12 2l3.09 6.26L22 9.27l-5 4.87 1.18 6.88L12 17.77l-6.18 3.25L7 14.14 2 9.27l6.91-1.01L12 2z\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/svg><\/span><span class=\"sb-item-rating-icon \"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<path d=\"M12 2l3.09 6.26L22 9.27l-5 4.87 1.18 6.88L12 17.77l-6.18 3.25L7 14.14 2 9.27l6.91-1.01L12 2z\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/svg><\/span><span class=\"sb-item-rating-icon \"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<path d=\"M12 2l3.09 6.26L22 9.27l-5 4.87 1.18 6.88L12 17.77l-6.18 3.25L7 14.14 2 9.27l6.91-1.01L12 2z\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/svg><\/span>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sb-item-text sb-fs\">\n\tThe zoo was fabulous and the staff and volunteers were helpful and engaging.
