This is by far one of the best zoos I’ve been to. It’s well planned out with staff nearby to answer your questions. I was most impressed with the hands on activities for the kids. They had so much fun and learned a lot!

Absolutely loved the Lego sculptures throughout the zoo! Always a good place to visit with the kids! The staff were particularly informative this trip and we LOVED that!

Fun and pleasant way to spend at the zoo with only adults. Most Animals were out and active. It would be nice to have at least one drink ticket come included with your admission. I get it to support out local zoo. My family has supported and continues to visit the zoo. This was a pricier ticket and then to pay for drinks in addition wasn’t a cheap night at the zoo!
