Getting Around the Zoo - We are Hilly!
The Flint Hills are certainly reflected in Sunset Zoo's terrain! While beautiful it does make for steep hills in some areas, please plan accordingly when visiting. The Zoo is wheelchair accessible, however inclines near the gibbon and tiger exhibits are steep. We are happy to offer golf cart tours of these areas to guests with two-weeks advance notice.

Service Animals
Service animals are permitted at Sunset Zoo and we appreciate any advance notice, but it is not required. All service animals must be certified, easily identified by their vests, and remain on a secure lead. There are two areas where service animals are not allowed due to animal safety: the prairie dog corral and Australian Walk-a-Bout. |
