What visitors say
This is a really nice little zoo! We spent 2 1/2 hours and saw everything. Mornings in March are cool-ish, so not everybody was venturing out first thing. Plenty of variety, the exhibits are unique, and there was a great monkey show…
Went to the zoo for my first time with my 3 year old daughter because it was 3$ Thursday! Such a great time! Is it the San Diego Zoo? No. But what it lacks in size it makes up in character, just like the city it lives in. My daughter…
We had a good time, it is a decent size zoo. The animals are taken care of, we went during the off season so the animals were not all out. It was still fun for the kiddos.
