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
