Little Rock Zoo Spring Safari Weekend

The Little Rock Zoo's Spring Safari Weekend turns regular zoo admission into a full event experience with behind-the-scenes keeper talks at the African savanna exhibits, live animal encounter stations on the main plaza, and a special safari-themed crafts tent for younger visitors. The zoo is at its best in May — mild weather, active animals, and long daylight hours. Zoo membership covers both days and makes the most sense for families who visit more than twice a year. The butterfly garden typically opens for the season this weekend.
