Breakfast with the Beasts: Aldabra Tortoise

Start your morning at the Zoo with a special early-bird experience centered on one of nature's most remarkable creatures. You and your family will enjoy a hot breakfast featuring Belgian waffles with toppings, sausage links, and beverages while positioned near the Aldabra Tortoise exhibit. This gives you a unique chance to watch these fascinating animals during their active morning hours and learn about their world from our knowledgeable staff. Your ticket covers the full breakfast spread, all-day Zoo admission, and parking. The experience also includes an exclusive keeper talk and a hands-on activity where you'll create enrichment for one of the Zoo's animals—a meaningful way to connect with conservation efforts. This program works well for families with children ages 4 through 18, as well as scout and youth groups in that age range. Tickets are $40 per person, with children under 2 admitted free. Advance registration is required.
