The FOCUSED photography event offers a unique opportunity for amateur and professional shutterbugs to take photos of the zoo's incredible wildlife. This experience affords you exclusive morning access to certain areas of the zoo so you get the morning light and no crowds. The zoo’s Animal Care, Health & Welfare team is excited to share their passion for the animals they love and care for with FOCUSED ticket holders. They will be creating some special enrichment and feeding opportunities just for you to photograph, so bring an extra memory card!
