The zoo runs a programme of feedings through the day, from the penguins in the morning to the sea lions, lions and chimpanzees around midday, so it pays to check the day’s schedule on arrival and plan your route around it. For a closer encounter, giraffe feeding is sold as a paid extra. Café Chunga sits next to the big playground, which lets one adult eat while the children play, and the Safari Café looks out over the lions and giraffes. There are also food trucks, ice cream and Café Søløven, with vegetarian and gluten-free options marked for each place. Paths are wheelchair-friendly in most places and the eateries can be reached in a wheelchair. One thing to plan around if you drive: the car park on Søndre Boulevard has a time limit, so a long day may need a move or a shorter visit.
