A very cute and pleasant zoo. It takes about 2 hours to visit, which is perfect timing, especially with kids. We were especially happy to see a red panda — this is quite rare for zoos, and it was a real highlight of our visit. The animals look well cared for, and the entire area is clean and well maintained, with neat and comfortable walking paths. A special mention goes to the restrooms — warm and clean, which is very important during colder weather and when visiting with children. A real wow factor is the decorations. They are clearly new and recently installed — very beautiful, bright, and unusual. We saw many decorations that will obviously look stunning after sunset when they light up. Unfortunately, we visited during the daytime and didn’t get to see them illuminated, but we will definitely come back in the evening to experience the zoo at night. We were also lucky to see a pregnant elephant — it looks like the zoo will be welcoming a new baby very soon, which was incredibly touching to witness. The ticket price was a pleasant surprise — very affordable for such a well-maintained, thoughtfully designed place. Unfortunately, there is also a downside: some of the new decorations have already been damaged by visitors. This is especially sad, as it’s obvious everything was built recently and with great care. Please be respectful — places like this are created for everyone’s enjoyment. Overall, I highly recommend visiting this zoo — both during the day and especially in the evening 🌿🦒
I had a nice time at this zoo! Some animals were understandably off exhibit because of the cold, but the animals I did see were very well cared for with gorgeous exhibits. The educational staff at this zoo is top notch. Eric had tons of information to share about the elephants and did a great job sharing some cool facts with me! It’s obvious he is passionate about his role! The zoo offers reciprocal membership discounts with other AZA establishments, so I got a discount on my entrance fee!
Great experience! The animals at least kodt of them seem pretty happy and all are beautiful and they have a good and large variety of different species as well as different animal variety, the park has bathrooms and has plenty of food options, a great option to take kids or even as a day trip for family however most of the food here here is just okay and the coffee is terrible not to mention the place is horribly dirty but generally all right would definitely recommend at least once
Got to see animals very up close, which was really nice. The zoo is decent and well maintained, but it’s on the smaller side compared to other zoos. Still a good place to spend a few hours, especially if you want a relaxed visit without too much walking.
The zoo is nice, plenty of activities for children. There appeared to be several animals not in their exhibits, which was slightly disappointing. There was quite a bit of construction going on, however it did not prohibit my movement on the walkway. I saw the entire zoo within two hours. I must add that I was alone therefore I moved much faster than others who were with children, the elderly or with an additional person. They recognize veterans, which is great.
