Even though the wind was gusty, the animals were all still out and happy. It’s a lovely little zoo, with interactive keeper sessions about the animals and just there for guest to interact with them also. All the animals were out and about and some were more interactive then others, I was able to call over the tapir and get some great photos! Nice safe paced zoo which is mainly flat so easily accessible and lots of room for everyone to see the animals in their environments. Plenty of food vending about and also eatery. I would say this is more of a summer place as various exhibits were closed but normal for the time of the year.

We really like how organized things were. We didn’t like the fact there were some unlisted animals like leopards etc.

I liked how clean it how pleasant the people working there were. The only complaint I have is the food court,If you made it more like a McDonald’s that kind of food it would be easier for the parents and the children. But I will be back I have told people who have not been there for a long time they definitely should go back I hope they do. And by the way my favorite place was the butterfly house I loved it so did my great granddaughter and grandson. Thank you for a wonderful visit 😊
