fun zoo, TONS of stuff to do for my young family (1yo daughter and 2 sons: kinder / pk) it’s quite an amenity for a small city. pay for the membership and make it a thing to do for you and your crew - and friends of course with membership plus!

I enjoyed my visit. LEGO animals were amazing. Lots of fun. Miss the waterfall though. But still had a great time.
