Four dates are available, two for each exhibit. For a $75 ticket you receive early admission to the zoo, parking, and a full breakfast buffet with a Bloody Mary bar. The animals will wake up and be fed while breakfast is being served to the attendees. It's worth noting that the African painted dogs will be dining on an animal carcass and the zoo doesn't recommend that experience for all audiences.
One of the head keepers of the animals will entertain the diners with stories about their personal experiences and fun facts about the animals.

After breakfast, but before other zoo guests arrive, the group will have a sneak peak of Hippo Cove. No jostling for a spot by the glass!
The menu for breakfast includes treats like lavender-honey French toast and Eggs Benedict.
