The zoo was a wonderful experience - there were lots of animals that my boyfriend and I had never seen before even in other zoos. It was large and there was a variety of exhibits. Very worth the price as you can stay as long as you want (from opening to close)!

My two kids, my father & myself all had the BEST time at the Zoo! We are on vacation from Maine & this was the perfect day adventure for my kiddos! The animals were gorgeous and we were able to find our way around easily! We will definitely be back again on our next trip here ♥️

It was the perfect zoo for my one year old. I enjoyed that it was pretty low-traffic on a weekday mid-afternoon. The zoo light exhibits were really cool to see in the daytime and I wanted to go back see them at night but it didn’t work with our trip.
