"Great"
March 2020
Was super cool we went on a rainy day everything is indoors smells a little weird but that’s expected with all the animals. The goat feeding was the best.

"Cute Animals"
November 2019
They had some really cool animals there. It had a strong urine & feces smell in the entire place. The habitats where small for most animals. Kids enjoyed the monkeys and feeding the goats.

"Not impressed"
September 2019
I chose this place due to website and what it had to say. The website shows a lot of animals and things the location did not have. Website stated over 600 different animals with over 130 different species. I took a picture of each different thing except tarantulas and it totaled only 67 different things. Website also stated it takes about 4 hours to go through entire zoo. It took us 1.5 hours and some we looked at twice. Very false advertising! Not worth the money at all. I had 4 kids with me and they weren't impressed either. I wish I could get my money back.

"Entertaining"
April 2019
We didn’t spend much time here, I had my twin 7 year olds, and they lost interest several times and had to be redirected. However- my kids have always been that way at zoos. They loved the petting area. My mom and I really enjoyed the zoo. The animals were different than what you would see at a large zoo, and it was nice to not have excessive walking. I would recommend this if you’re in the area and looking for a filler, for a good price!

Tip: Warm inside- leave coats in the car-

When we arrived, the young lady at the front was extremely nice. Our daughter is 3 and she had a blast! All staff was very nice and courteous, and the admission price is only $12.99 for adults. Would definitely recommend.

"Fun"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed June 29, 2020 NEW
I had gotten tickets on Groupon with a discount and decided to give it a try since it was pretty inexpensive. We were pleasantly surprised and we all had a great time. We especially love the tamarins and lemurs. It’s mostly indoors but there’s a section outside with sheep, goats, a few lizards and turtles and a couple of monkeys. You can feed the goats and sheep right out of your hand. It’s funny because they follow you around and almost fight each other to be the one to get fed! So cute!

"Great time!!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed June 15, 2020 NEW
They have a wide variety of animals... some we had never seen or heard of before which blew our minds! For a couple hours of entertainment, it was a good price! We loved that we had opportunities to speak with the caregivers there and also had some up close interactions with the animals. We will be back!

Our family of four went and we'd recommend. A lot of animals, both outside and inside. Takes a solid 60-75 minutes to enjoy everything. Prices a good for the time spent. The employees we encountered seemed to enjoy their job.
