Perfect cost/entertainment ratio. All animals looked healthy and happy. Perfect for kids and babies! I have an 8 month old son and even despite his age he had a ton of fun.

Amazing! You can tell the staff truly care about the animals here, they are all well cared for and the park was very clean!

Such a great experience. we were able to see the owl and otters get fed. Also the gentleman that we happened to see around the whole zoo, was very nice and was able to tell us a lot about each animal, you could tell he works with them every day. As a side note, if you go PLEASE don't let your kids chase the animals it does more harm than good

I considered taking college courses for computer programming so I could hack into Google and figure out a way to give this place 6 stars. In the end I decided to settle for a 5-star review but it deserves 6. I don't think I'll visit a zoo that is more interactive than this one. Does not have giant grand animals like giraffes and lions but it more than made up for it in character and how up close we got to everything. My son held a goat and a boa constrictor (not at the same time) and even petted a porcupine. We could have spent all day in the play place which was a huge surprise. A giant play area and jumping pillow were included with admission. My overall advice- don't miss the scheduled animal presenratoons and don't sleep on the play area! 6 stars!
