It depends on when you're going I've always been able to get right on but I've only had two or three people. It's a good idea to check on their first and if you do have to wait you can enjoy other areas of the Conservancy while you're waiting. It runs on a regular intervals so the weight isn't very long anyway. It's a very nice place to visit and the boat tour is interesting
How much is outside, and how much is outside? Have friends coming in August and am concerned about heat and bugs!

In February, only the talks were outside in the front. To gain access for the boat ride, which I highly recommend, you need to get a wrist band and it's through the exhibits.
