I loved this zoo and the fact that it's free but they should consider capping the animals to just the ones they have now, since the animals shouldn't be in such small areas

Andrew K.

Free admission and free parking . The lot is small though and there are not many animals to see. But they are those that were previously hurt/injured.

Andrew K.

The sunken gardens near the zoo are really worth stopping at to walk around and see.

Andrew K.

in the center is a beautiful water fountain that many people come to take pictures at.

Andrew K.

You'll even see this blue dino at the entrance that is painted with faces of animals at the zoo .

The mastadon that was discovered while digging a man-made pool in the area in the 1930's.

The visitor center has public bathrooms and some good exhibits inside.

you'll also see two bald eagles across the way from the otter.

even a couple of alligators that looked a little bored, but well taken care of.

there also is a mountain lion (cougar) right after the otter.

Henry the buck has a statue at the end of the loop around of the zoo .
