Excellent day to see the animals. Everything was well-kept and clean. Also, one of their workers (don't remember the name) spent some time with us and told us some really interesting facts about the animals. She was awesome and she took the time to answer our questions.

I loved the fact that it was a nice, affordable, and not oversized exhibit. The customer service was exceptional, the good was good, and the presentation of the place....

I love coming to the zoo! It makes me feel like a kid every time I visit. The animals were awake and very active as well. I think next year we will get a membership so I can visit weekly
