Visit ZooTampa while the Weather is Cooler

This is weather dependent. Please watch for any changes in weather regarding rain or storms.

Low temperatures and low humidity makes photographing zoo animals enjoyable for both photographer and animals. This creates ideal conditions for photographing the animals as they'll be more active in the cooler weather. It's also easier on the photographer when compared to temps in the upper 80's and 100% humidity.

There are no issues using tripods at Lowry Park Zoo! Lenses 200mm and up are great for photography at the zoo. Even if you don't have a tripod or monopod you can still get great photos handholding your camera and Brian will help with the settings.

We'll start right when the zoo opens at 9:30 AM. The crowds are smaller and the morning light is ideal for photographing many of animals (tigers, some monkeys, birds etc.).

If you need to purchase a ticket or a Zooper pass, please arrive a little early so you can enter the zoo when they open the gate. Parking at Lowry Park Zoo is FREE! Link to purchase admission ticket or Zooper Pass (best deal if you plan on returning in 2022).

An optional lunch will be around 11:30 at the Safari Cafeteria. They serve a variety of hot and cold meals including wraps, sandwiches, tacos, nachos, pizza by the slice and much more. There are also picnic grounds adjacent to the parking lots if you desire to bring your own lunch.
