What visitors say
A great little zoo! It’s smaller than some, but there’s still so much to see and do. The animals looked well cared for, and the exhibits were nicely designed. Perfect for a short, fun visit!
For a free zoo, this place is incredible! Lots of educational signs telling you about the animals, their names and stories, and the habitat. Maggie the monkey(?) was a family favorite! We also really enjoyed seeing the grizzlies too!…
Great zoo free of cost, bears were hibernating for the season but still had a good time.
