Narrated feedings take place at different enclosures during the day, with some different animals on weekdays and weekends. The programme is included in a normal zoo visit.

- The entrance building is accessible and Amazonia is mostly accessible. The island has hills and steep ascents; almost all roads are wide and paved. Animals can also be viewed without stairs. Guide and assistance dogs cannot enter the zoo because it is a quarantine area.
