Very disturbing to see only one orangutan. Highly intelligent animals should not be isolated. There should be at least two or none at all.

RecommendedWe used to really enjoy this zoo, but the last time we went was absolutely disappointing. My son was already on summer break for school so we went on a weekday. The tiger enclosure was empty (I guess they're getting new tigers, but we weren't informed that at paying) and my son was pretty sad to not see tigers. The bathrooms were absolutely AWFUL.

We enjoyed our visit to the Zoo. We had our three year old Grandson with us. We are members of the Fargo Zoo and it was fun to see an entire different group of animals. We hope to revisit next year as well.
It was my first time going yesterday with my husband and grandsons. Though it was fun, there is no "flow" to the place, you end up walking up and down the same paths to get to a different spot. Also my grandsons are 5 yrs and 3 yrs old, and only 1 restroom in the entire place!! Poor thinking in a place for children.
Over priced but fun for the grand kids best part is the petting zoo
