RecommendedKnowledge of animals, the recycling statues of different animals and food was great.
Nice little zoo! Also a lot of fun activities for the kids (ropes, zip lines etc).
they are continually improving their exhibits, making decisions based on the welfare of the animals and provide information to visitors that is very helpful and enhances the experience!
they have really made the entire zoo an enjoyable experience. even when there are tons of people, the staff keeps things clean, open, and moving.
It was my daughter and I's first time and we really enjoyed it! It's quite the workout too since all the exhibits go uphill. The little train thing wasn't working today. The train actually takes you to the top so you can forego the uphill if you prefer, but if it's not working, you don't have a choice but to go up. It was totally ok by me but I saw other's struggling both uphill and down. The temperature was pretty perfect so the most of the animals were pretty active which was so cool! I also enjoyed all of the food options... read more
