"First-time visitors can’t miss a trip to the largest natural zoo habitat in the world. The park is known for its accessibility; guests can rent wheelchairs, electronic convenience vehicles, and double strollers. Walk or ride the tram across the 500-plus-acre park, from the North American side to the grasslands of Africa. The zoo is undergoing a major expansion to add Asia as the third continent, scheduled to open in 2026." - Trudy Haywood Saunders Trudy Haywood Saunders Trudy Haywood Saunders is a writer and editor based in North Carolina.
