What parents say
"We had a wonderful experience! The park is gigantic and I would recommend taking your time. There is a lot to see and plenty of activities. It is great for kids as much for adults. There are a lot of water fountains too, which was very convenient for us on a hot day. There are feeding stations, which were pretty cheap in my opinion. Overall, the best zoo I've been to!"

"Went for an event/ run walk prior to opening time and it was amazing Easily walkable and wheel chair and stroller access to everything. Great animal overlooks some were already out like the lions. Would highly recommend."

"I highly recommend getting your tickets online and heading there early. We rented the bikes, definitely worth it. The property is very large and you’d think a three hour rental is long, but we were cutting it close when we return it. I can only imagine how long it would have taken to walk the whole thing. Not to mention, does your local zoo let you ride bikes in it? So definitely worth the experience too. We had an amazing time. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Great selection of animals. Pricing is fair and parking is plentiful. But again, recommend going when they open. It gets full"
