Beautiful way to spend an afternoon. Bring bug spray and plan on having at least three hours to explore if you are visiting the area. Our two hours didn’t quite cut it with little legs and frequent breaks.

Huge outdoor walking adventure. The animal park is really fun for kids. The history is rich and the staff is so nice. The female zookeeper giving info was really nice and knowledgeable.
