I bought a family membership at the beginning of the season and it has been SO worth it! Having Six kids the membership paid for itself the first time. The kids love going, it never seems to get old for them and it helps my husband and I get those steps on our fitbits (haha).

It's a awesome place to go for family fun. A little bummed some animals were not out due to heat, but understandable. The knowledge of staff was great, they are open to questions and friendly.
