This is my 3rd or 4th trip to this zoo. It's a pretty zoo and the kids enjoy it a lot. The animals aren't very active, but you still get to see plenty. Our favorite area is Africa. The entrance is beautiful, the walk up is so nice and being able to see a giraffe up so close is AWESOME. The walkabout is really cool too. That's possibly the kids favorite.

Second time we have been here. My boys enjoyed the animals. We were a little too early to feed the giraffes, but we're on a field trip and had to stay with the group. The gentlemen with the mould of the tiger skull was very informative and interactive with the kids! They loved it!

Easily accessed entrance by flat parking lot . Good signage , variety of animals - lots of parties 🎉 that day so some areas were closed off . The cage area to the small giraffe was a soiled cement floor , no pad or mat, no food or water , hardly a way to turn around . The big giraffe had a beautiful cage .
