We had a great time at the zoo
Beautiful artwork, friendly staff, amazing critters! The zoo is a treasure for the community. When friends and family visit from out of town it means we'll be taking a trip to the zoo. Everyone gets a kick out of Tal.
We loved it. It was a beautiful day outside. We were even fortunate enough to witness a baby elk being born and take its first steps. Very exciting!!
Very nice zoo. Just big enough for little kids. I just wish the gift shop had smaller sizes for shirts or stuffed animals with Chahinkapa logos.
