Beautiful day for a zoo trip!! We try to get to here at least once a year! Food is a little pricey but, we could have brought our own so that expense was on us. Perfect weather and all around fabulous day.at JBZ!!

My kids loved the new zip line! I liked that amigos can be rented out, next time we'll bring my dad. My babies really enjoyed the birds of prey show, definitely a must see. The face painting, cool. Can't wait to see the red panda!

Great little zoo if you are looking for a morning or afternoon excursion. All of the zoo workers and volunteers were very friendly and they were great about answering questions.
