Only been to their light's festival that they do for the evening's during the Christmas season for the second year in a row the kids love it...even my never impressed 10 year old daughter that usually fiends everything boring! They have a really cool train ride with polar express music from the animated movie which was cool, the lights were very nice they also had a Disney princess theme with two women dressed as Disney princess posed for pictures with kids whicj my 7 year old loved and right next to them was a face painting display in the sting ray & Shark petting pool which is pretty awesome that the kid's & adults can't seem to get enough of! NOTE: The night event is Free it's a suggestion to donate canned goods for a food drive they have going on at the entrance so it's for a great cause!
Very nice but small. The whole zoo could be lightly toured in 2 hours. You should plan for another activity after.
Great little zoo, my son's favorite place. Nice exhibits where it is easy to see the animals, even for young children. Also has a great little train ride along the reservoir. We get annual memberships for the whole family and go often which is a great option. Parking is in a parking structure and usually is not a problem.
It was horrible. Way to loud for the poor animals and the touch tank which should be altogether shut down. Animals being forced to be handled all the time with no where to hide... sounds like cruelty to me. There are very few animals in a large area yet the animals do not have enough room... they also all looked very thin. This zoo should be shut down in my opinion. I have a low opinion on zoos altogether and this was the absolute perfect example of everything I hate about it.
Great little zoo. We are members and visit at least once a week. It’s the perfect size for younger kids as you can walk the entire thing in under 2 hours. All of the animals can easily be seen and there’s even a fun playground.
But generally people are friendly, it's clean, wheelchair and stroller accessible everywhere
