💬 What Parents Say

• 💡Take advantage of the completely free admission - it's perfect for combining with other activities in Memorial Park or planning multiple visits to see different animals or seasonal exhibits without financial commitment.
• 🕐Visit during warmer months to see more active animals. Reviews mention that animals shelter during colder weather, so spring and summer visits offer better chances to see black bears, red foxes, and other wildlife in their enclosures.
• 💡Plan for a shorter visit (1-2 hours) as this is a small, walkable zoo. It's ideal for families with young children who may get tired, and it's easy to see all the main exhibits including otters, alligators, owls, eagles, and bears in one trip.
• 💡Check ahead for ongoing renovations or exhibit changes, as noted in reviews about bear enclosures being under renovation. Call ahead to confirm which animals are currently on display before planning your visit.
• 🕐Arrive early in the day to maximize viewing time since the zoo closes at 5PM, and consider visiting on weekdays to experience fewer crowds while enjoying the easy walking trails through Memorial Park.
