Nice place. You do see a lot animals. There a play place and it's a lot of walk. We were done in hour & 1/2. They have a great ser up at Halloween time It's trick n treat special. Buy your tickets on line it cheaper

Driving through the water during our exit took me back over 40 years! Great animals. No penguins right now due to habitat renovations and the giraffes were already put away. The otter was so much fun to watch swimming for us... Almost as of putting on a show for the visitors!

This hiking experience was one of my favorites! The parking lot is a stone lot. There were multiple parts of the preserve that connected. I'd say that nature-lovers could make a whole day out of it. The bugs weren't bad at all. We passed three beautiful bridges. We saw wildlife along the way. Some parts of the hike were steep, others were even. Some parts of the trails went over the main roads while others went deeper into the woods. It had a nice mix of scenery. If you want to grab a bite to eat before or after, it's only five to eight minutes from Wayback Burger, Rita's, Back Home Bagels, and China House. I'll definitely be back!

Robinson Suarez | Nov 10, 2020

There are some portions of the park that does not allow any motorcycle or any motorized vehicle, and there are signs saying where and where not to go.

Do you ever adopt animals of interest, My daughter has raised a beautiful Jungle Carpet Python since it was very small, it is very use to being handled. My daughter recently got married & has no time for him anymore. It's very sad
