Reviews
"I remember when my family reunion was here when I was 6 years old. It’s sad to see it so run down and low maintenances. The zoo was my FAVORITE part when I would come visit. Breaks my heart :("
"The dining area and kids playground was great. Due to Halloween party that was to be that night then we missed getting to go to the back. It's a shame.."
"Went to the new haunted attraction they started this year, we like to try out all the local “haunts”. Was very pleasantly surprised, I would say it is one of the scarier ones. You already get set in the mood driving down the long dark swamp road!! Great to see this place doing something to bring in the current generation."
"This place is in very bad disrepair, most animal exhibits are empty, just general neglect all over from lack of funding maybe? There was only one person on duty for the whole place when we went (on a Saturday, gorgeous weather) but we did not see another soul while we were there staff or otherwise; there were multiple trees down across the outside exhibit areas, inside exhibits showed signs of months/years of neglect and many needed repair work done. It looks like there have been some educational exhibits done not too long ago but overall seems like this once jewel has been forgotten. We did get to see a lot of critters, some on exhibit, mostly just local wildlife. They had two mini donkeys, an emu, and some ducks, chickens, and peacocks."
