The zoo keeper are very friendly and the animals are stunning. One of the reasons why I am pursuing my future occupation

The food is not bad! Great place for the kids to come and play! Great exhibits too! Cant wait to come back and ride the camels

Chris O'Connor

Very nice, manageable zoo that is well worth your time. Pack a picnic basket and avoid the sometimes lengthy waits for food during peak hours at the Peacock Cafe .

Josh Kristy

The animals & park staff are very nice. My only place for improvement is the Peacock Cafe is very slow.

Get free or reduced admission to zoo by asking local library for passes

Get a family membership! It helps the zoo and works out to be less expensive after just a few visits.

It's a small zoo but very nice for a day trip!

Not a bad little zoo . Some key animals are missing, but the ones they do have are in interesting enclosures .
