Reviews
"It's a fun zoo to go to. You can see everything in less than a couple of hours. I wish it was open past 4"
"Beautiful zoo that is really cheap to get inside. They don't offer online ticket purchases. The animals are pretty active and very nice. The zoo is a big circle so you don't have to backtrack and you can see all the animals."
"I really wanted to like it more, but it was just ok. I took my 3.5 year old there for exposure to animals. Pros: The snow leopard cubs were awesome, my daughter got to feed a baby giraffe lettuce, which was her favorite part. The lemurs were pretty cool. Everyone on staff was very nice. Cons: Most of the animals were sleeping or not within view. There was a lot of glare on glass enclosures so couldn't see anything in glass. The accommodations for the animals seemed a little lacking. I wish there were more animals and more interaction. I'm sure they're doing their best with the funds they have, but I don't think I'll be back unless they make some strides to improve."
"I give this place a 10 star rating. It’s a small little zoo but there is quite a bit to see. I took My sister there so we had a girls day out and we loved it. We got to see black bears with your hard to find in the zoo now these days Armadillos giraffes chickens quite a few other animals. The only thing is they do not have a cafeteria to eat at so take your own lunch, but there is a park that’s attached to this. You can have a picnic before you go in and if you decide to have a picnic Just show them your receipt and you’re able to get back in and they have a cute little train ride. you were guaranteed to see quite a few beautiful animals here that you don’t normally see in a regular zoo. They do a good job at the upkeep of the animals and the animals look very healthy all the way down to the turtle. It’s amazing how many animals they do have I saw a fox a black bear, a turtle, an ostrich, giraffe duck cheetah, you must make time to be able to go to this cute establishment and they’re not expensive at all"
"Wednesday visit during spring break. 10min wait to get in park, a little crowded on the walkways with visitors & strollers. Arrived at 1015 in time to feed the giraffe. giraffe care taker was patient & answered all the questions about the giraffe. Spent 2 hours at the zoo. It’s small but good size for the price. The kids loved it. It’s well maintained & although they get crowded we love the bridge walkway."
