💬 What Parents Say

  • 💡Don't miss the otter enclosure - multiple visitors specifically highlighted how adorable and well-maintained it is. This is a standout exhibit worth prioritizing during your visit.
  • 💡Avoid purchasing food from the zoo cafe. Multiple visitors reported food safety issues with the chicken tenders. Bring your own snacks or eat before/after your visit.
  • 🕐Plan a Sunday visit - the zoo is open on Sundays, which is less common and convenient for weekend family outings.
  • 💡Be aware the zoo has limited reptile exhibits (only a few tortoise species and no dedicated herpetology building), so adjust expectations if reptiles are a must-see for your visit.
  • 💡Visit during special summer events like Zoo Brew (August) or the Sippin' Safari Concert Series for a unique experience beyond standard zoo viewing.
