Some really incredible animals. It seems like they are treated well. From what we understood many of, if not most of the animals have been rehabilitated which is awesome. The jaguar was really cool. The eagles were also stand out. It wasn’t too crowded when we went, but we went on a weekday. Staff was really nice and knowledgeable.

I'm really surprised that in such a small local zoo, all the animals are active and being taken care well. The newly built educational center is fantastic where you have a chance to see animal health exam and surgery as well as food preparation. The giraffe feeding experience is lots of fun. Gift shop is also high quality with reasonable price.

What a fantastic family geared Zoo!!!... beautifully kept, newer structures, all animals were awake and joyfully. Staff was all amazing, attentive and knowledgeable. All HCP accessible (1 steep grade hill on interior of the park though). Highly recommend

Great place for a family day. Well maintained and clean everywhere. The gift shop is a bit pricey so be prepared for the shock when your kid hand you a stuffed animal.

3 stars because this wasn't worth the time and cost for adults. We came for the night Christmas lights but were very disappointed with how little they actually had. There was a decent amount of lights and decor but didn't feel worthwhile for the cost. There were many empty spaces that could have benefited from lights. Some areas should have had less spotlights that were quite blinding. Definitely a great night activity for kids but not an adult date night out hoping to go look at Christmas lights.
