Great price for a good size zoo. This zoo offered much more than I anticipated especially with its price point of $8 for an Adult. The frozen slushie I ordered was perfect for the extremely hot day as well especially while walking through the zoo. There was a lot of construction going on so it looks like the zoo will be even greater than what it currently is in the future. Definitely a great spot for any kid of any age.

There was a lot of construction going on so part of the zoo was closed. They gave us free tickets for a later date because of all the construction. Even with the construction this was a decent zoo. Quite a few animals. Decent enclosures. The staff and volunteers we interacted with were friendly. Great place to get steps in. I LOVED that they had sunscreen stations. All zoos should implement this.

My husband & I took the kids here for Zoo Lights & it really was a nice time. We enjoyed taking pics & walking through the zoo at night.. They even had the cafe open & the hot coco, popcorn boxes, nachos & crawfish kickers was the perfect touch. Lol we only was suppose to get a hot coco. Everything was beautiful & delicious. This would be a amazing pick for a date night too!

Cute and fun family place. My daughter loves the peacocks that roam free. The petting zoo has some adorable little goats, particularly the funny looking little black goat that's missing a horn. He was the best animal there!

I cannot believe you would vaccinate your animals. You folks are crazy. Who is telling you to do this!You need to research this. How dare you do this to a animal that is innocent and has to rely on a human for love, care and medical. the giraffe sad
