Absolutely fantastic zoo! So lucky to have this so close. We will be here often! Kathy and Tom and all of the staff are amazing.
Such passion for their work! It shows! Hat Off to the staff and supporters that fund this Zoo. Keep up the great work.
This was packed with a variety of animals. Especially for a small town zoo. Enjoyed!!!
The staff is great and friendly, and truly care about the animals. I don't get why some person is complaining about the flow of the oath, seriously it circles the entire zoo, you don't miss a thing. Maybe that person should have a compass to help them navigate. Chahinkapa Zoo is a great treasure for this community. Keep up the good work .
