Nice-sized zoo with a good variety of animals. You could spend an hour or two or a whole day there. Be sure to check out the red panda !

Liz Hahn

The animals are great. I saw the penguins and flamingos first. I was surprised to see a white owl. Many viewing locations kids in strollers can see. There are many things to do inside the zoo , also.

Nicole Costa Silva

It’s such a great little zoo . It’s small so it won’t take you all that long but it’s relatively cheap and a great way to spend an afternoon

A zoo pass is a huge savings for a family even if you only come a few times. In addition, your pass gets you in to zoos and aquariums all over the country .

The Zoo has really created an awesome environment! Love all the new areas for Bears , Bald Eagles, Otters and birds.

Parcourse! Busy-bodies like me can combine a day at the zoo with interval exercises like pull-ups, toe-touches and torso circles.

Great for the little ones! (Toddlers/Preschoolers) My 10 year old niece was bores senseless! Nonetheless! It's a great day out! Pack a lunch and enjoy the atmosphere!
