Get there early if you want to feed the giraffes. Food for the giraffes cost a dollar per piece. You can pre-pay for the food when you get your tickets. If you do not pre-pay you need to have cash for the giraffe food. The food for the goats is in a machine that takes quarters. A roll of quarters should be enough. Pack a lunch there's plenty of places to eat and very nice park.
