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.
