We booked the first tour of the morning....I think it was something like 15 minutes before the park opened. It was awesome! I'm glad we did the first tour of the morning since we did it in August and it was incredibly HOT! They do their very best to keep you cool, but seriously....there's only so much they can do in the Florida summer heat. Animals were lively and it was a GREAT experience. As PP said, the they do have great photos!
