What parents say
"Not for me. This was a disappointing experience. While there were certainly lots of bats there were also other animals that looked depressed and lethargic. There was no tour to explain anything about the animals and there was minimal info on the enclosures. The place smelled really bad, so much so that while we were there an employee lit candles (that were left on an unattended in various places). There was no fresh air and almost all windows were painted/covered in black...while that seems okay for bats the sloth, kangaroo/wallaby, chinchillas had no access to fresh air or sunlight.

"Very charming place! The dwarf kangaroo is cute at the front. The sloths are pretty active. The reptiles exhibit was cool. Inside the bat cave did have a scent but so do zoos! Maybe some ventilation would help? Seeing the bats was really cool! They’re very active. You can donate a bat which is cute and I did. You can also feed them. I bought a cute stuffed bat! I would def go back here."

"Very nice and fun experience! They have cute animals and you can even feed some by hand! Don't recommend it for people who cannot follow directions or behave (this includes parents and their children)."
