Reviews
"Great little zoo. Don't have to fight crowds. Peaceful experience with experienced handlers that will tell you about the animals."
"Over priced but it is a zoo. I love the pygmy hippos. So darn adorable. Lots of new things to see there. Tram was down when we visited but rode it a few years ago. Worth the ride. I do recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks. Way over priced. $4 to $5 for a bottled water they pay around .50 to $1 for. The waterfall is beautiful and you can walk underneath it. The meerkat tunnel is so fun."
"All staff that I've encountered are friendly and very knowledgeable. The new pygmy Hippo exhibit was amazing! The woman working there was such a joy to talk to and so knowledgeable. Thank you. I love that the zoo is improving so many of the habitats and being more sustainable. Just ask about the new pygmy enclosure! Proud member. I was too interested in the animals to take my phone out, to take pictures."
"This Zoo is wonderful! Lots of exhibits and chances to interact with the animals. We have been going every year for the last 18 years and it's so fun watching all the growth and changes over the years! We bring our own drinks and snacks, but sometimes splurge on ice cream. We have gone to Boo at the Zoo, Harry Potter Experience, and this year, the Lantern Festival. Always something for everyone!"
"Loved this zoo! The enclosures are awesome and built directly into the natural landscape. Their internal areas, i.e. aquarium and reptile house, are quite small and a bit cramped. I will tell anyone who goes, and they should go, to be prepared for hills and elevation. Would definitely recommend."
