For its first year doing the luminous night show it was good. Hoping that next year will be better.

It's just beautiful! The walking paths make it very doable. And so pretty in the fall.

Magical place to be at any age!! It was clean, not crowded and socially distant. Everyone was wearing masks. Lots of security and zoo staff. I hope this is going to be an annual event. Loved it ❣️
