I like being able to see the animals at my own pace and being able to be close enough to see them. I enjoyed the information shared about the animals.

Beautiful facility. I’m not sure why all the negative reviews about the animals being cooped up in cages and depressed. They all have plenty of room and appear to be happy in what resembles their natural habitat. In NJ, there is a lot less room for the animals in the zoos so maybe I’m partial. The staff was caring for a sick animal while we were there. It was an amazing experience. My son even got to pet a moose on his nose because he came so close while munching on the trees. We loved every minute.
