Be there after 3pm and have enough time there, when you are patient you will see a lot of penguins on the beach - awesome and free.

A lot of animals (national and international ones).
You can see lions. Not that big but very interesting, you can see how they feed them.

Too many people there - come early or late. Sometimes you can see dolphins there, think about the tides!
