Parking, on-site food and the animal encounters children ask for once they see the signs typically add 40% to 60% on top of admission, which is why the extras subtotal is shown separately from the gate price. Two practical levers follow from the arithmetic: pre-booking online usually discounts tickets by 10% to 20%, and packing lunch removes the single largest extra entirely.
