What a wonderful zoo!! The hills, woods, landscape, plants and lego animals are just an added bonus to the beautiful habitats the animals have! Highly recommend.

Love the budgie aviary, and if you love pineapple you MUST try the Dole whip up by the tiger exhibit. Over all a wonderful zoo with very friendly staff and volunteers. We will definitely be visiting this zoo again! Well worth the 2 hour drive!!!

The staff is amazing. The enclosures do a great job of showcasing the animals, allowing them to make choices and yet be visible to guests.
