Recommendedfun for all ages! we just found the one duck pond to be full of algae! we had alot of fun!❤️
We went to the zoo today! I was so impressed with the Nursing Hut!! I'm not nursing, but I'm pregnant with a 1.5 year old and it was a life saver! It's on the far side of the zoo from the bathrooms which was great for a mid way break! The comfy chair with AC was much needed for me, and the changing table and crayon table were great for the little who had been stuck in his stroller! Thank you so much! Also, we didn't need any, but they have diapers, wipes and sunscreen if you forget yours! There's also a lock on the door! Lov... read more
Beautiful setting and great petting zoo area. The animals were very active a chatty today.
Always enjoy this zoo. It is clean and the benches are nice to sit by each exhibit.
It’s a nice zoo with lots of different animals and birds. During our visit, the staff were tending to the animals & we could hear them talking kindly to them. There were peacocks wandering freely as well as peafowl. There were three peafowl in particular that would walk with us on the trails like they were part of our group.
I have to go back. My grandson and my Mom got tired so I didn't get to see it all. will go back when the petting zoo is open
