You have to come during special holidays, like Easter and Halloween , for special activities and family fun.

If u are sensing fear or concern with companions fitness ability , ask about thicker harnesses and lower zips. They have Lower zips on outbound II

Fun little zoo . Nothing special but fun way to spend a couple hours. Zip line course was really neat.

They have some animals here... really. Not many, but it's still fun for young children. The real attraction is the zip line . It's a blast.

love the water park - what a great touch! bring a bathing suit!

Courtney McGivern

This place sucks. There are no animals and it's really trashy. All you do is walk on a board walk and look at paintings of animals. It's very low quality. Please don't waste your time and money.

Thomas Martinez

Don't feed the animals! #kiakey
