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-
