The Tea & Tours program is a great way to see the Zoo while enjoying a quiet break filled with, you guessed it, tea and snacks. Your tea break will consist of iced tea, lemonade, or water to drink, with salad, tea sandwiches, and cookies. Reservations are required and must be received two weeks in advance because this tour does fill up quite quickly. Tours begin early, at 9:30 a.m., and will last until around noon.
