A free zoo in Phillips Park. I enjoyed seeing the Eagle and Hawks, but most of the other animals were hiding. Cute place to visit.

Questions & Answers

Can I bring a packed lunch when I visit the zoo? Are there picnic tables nearby?

Perfect place for picnic. There is a shady picnic area in the large park behind the zoo - just stroll through the gates. Also near the visitor's center so easy to get cooler from parking lot to tables.
