Had low expectations for the zoo but it was very charming. Prefer the set up to most zoos because there was plenty of shade. Felt like you were in the woods exploring find amazing creatures to look at.

This place is awesome! My family has gone a few times now and it's becoming a fast favorite. The animals are clearly loved, active and we enjoy being outside for the zoo experience.

This was a really nice small zoo. The keepers were very interactive and knowledgeable. A lot of the animals were rescued and maintained as a zoo.

Very nice Zoo. Came here with the Kindergartners from our school. Good setup. Clean bathrooms. The girl at the front desk was really nice. It's kept up and clean. Nice place to take your kiddos and family.

Is it dog friendly

Mike Shane | May 26, 2019
Nancy Joplin | May 27, 2019

I dont think so

We have a person in a wheelchair in our group. Is the whole place accessible by wheelchair or just the entrance, like the overview indicates?! Will someone in a wheelchair enjoy this park? TY in advance for your answers.

Buddo Hood | May 26, 2019
Karen Gendron | May 27, 2019

The paths aren't paved so it might be rough. It's pretty open though. The exhibits aren't like a traditional zoo. A person in a wheelchair should have no trouble seeing the animals.
