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 ❣️

I have been going to John Ball Zoo since I was a little girl. They are always changing the zoo up and I LOVE IT. This zoo is now and will always be my favorite zoo.
