Local tip

The EcoTarium opens at 10:00 from Tuesday to Saturday. Arriving early lets you secure a good viewing spot without the midday crowds.

Check before you go

  • The EcoTarium is closed on Mondays. On Sundays, it opens at 12:00, so this sunrise plan only works Tue-Sat.
  • Parking is available on-site, but arrive early as spaces fill up quickly on weekends.
