"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!

"How did this get such rave reviews?"
TripAdvisor user rating 2 out of 5
Reviewed October 09, 2019 NEW
I'm not sure how this place gets the reviews that it does but I'm glad I was able to get it for cheap on Groupon or else I would have felt completely ripped off. There isn't much to see. A bunch of Lemurs, snakes, rats, a couple rare species of rodents, and some talking parrots (which was the best part). It took a total of 20 minutes to view the whole place and that included feeding the goats and sheep. I'm not sure how some people spent more than an hour in here unless they crawled through it. Not impressed.

"Family Tradition"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed October 07, 2019 NEW
This trip was the third time we have taken our kids ages 3 and 5 to this zoo and my niece’s first time age 12. They all loved it! We feel like the animals are well cared for. They are in glass cages and tanks but I feel like they are not abused or neglected like some places you see animals in. The highlight for my 3 year old son was the turtles! He loves the “really big turtles” out back beside the petting zoo. The highlight for my 5 year old daughter was seeing the sheep in the petting zoo. The highlight for my 12 year old niece was the Ring Tailed Lemurs. I enjoy most of all seeing my kids see animals they have learned about up close. It’s mostly indoors. It’s not too large. The staff are always friendly. It’s off the crowded parkway! It’s a great place in my opinion!
