"Cute Zoo"

Reviewed June 08, 2025 NEW

Our family enjoyed this zoo as it has a nice layout and plenty of interesting animals to see. The elephant yard and gorilla areas were highlights for the visit in particular. We spent about 5 hours there with stopping for a longer lunch.

The layout of the zoo is perfect but there are a few spots you have to backtrack. Some of the zookeepers being out telling people about the animals was an awesome extra. We arrived about an hour after they opened and several animals were not on exhibit which was disappointing to the kids of course. The lions were a crowd favorite for sure. We ate in the little restaurant near the petting zoo and the service was not the most friendly, the food tasted like a school lunch and fries were awful. The kids souvenir cup was way overpriced and cheap. The petting zoo was closed from 12-1 which was of course is usually right after those with little ones are just finishing up lunch right next to it - so bummer for us we didn’t get to experience it. Overall, we would come back but would be sure we eat elsewhere and maybe come later in the day to be sure we get our money’s worth.

"Nice Zoo"

Reviewed March 13, 2025

Very nice and clean zoo. Thankfully there weren't any field trips that we encountered so it was very peaceful. The enclosures that weren't being renovated were well maintained. Good variety of animals including elephants, komodo dragons, and several different types of cats.

It's a great experience for kids, it was safe for them to walk around without our direct supervision and they loved the animals.

It was a gloomy day with the rain and the snow melting but it was very lovely. The carousel was $3 and the train ride too. The lion exhibit is still closed but we came here for the elephants!
