This is the most boring zoo I've ever been to. We went for boo at the zoo, most animals weren't even out or had a sign saying it was too cold for them. The kids only got maybe 10 pieces of candy and were so disappointed to not even see any animals. Don't even bother going its gone down hill the last few years.
It was not very exciting the kids were even a little bored. The one plus is i got a lot of walking in on all of those empty trails. I hope that the zoo improves in the feature.
Needs more animal exhibits. I've been to zoos that takes all day just to see everything. It only took me 45 mins. to walk around it and I seen everything too.
I was sad there was no elephant anymore and that the animals didn't have enough space. It was ok I guess for a small zoo.
