Small but well maintained. Make you you have something the kids can get wet in, plenty of places to play in the water to cool down.

Chanelle Gontarz

Small but well-maintained. But, when one or another of the areas is closed for renovation, it makes it noticeably smaller. Membership is worth the $$, as is the $5 souvenir cup (free refills!).

Audra Menhart

Because of the park like setting, we enjoyed walking around the zoo . We would have liked to have seen more animals though.

Brookie Sica

Wasn’t thrilled with the size of habitats or “breeding for conservation” program African animals and birds and monkeys all need space!

John Foraker

Lions and tigers and bears . Great layout and great price. I couldn't believe it wasn't more crowded .

Tatyana Foster

Great selection of animals. Decent sized park for walking.

Doy Byr

Kiddos can run in the fountains to cool down so have them wear a swimsuit underneath their clothes .

Jennifer Harmon

Bring a refillable bottle for water, especially on the hot days!
