Visitor tip
Skip or manage expectations for the train ride—reviewers note the conductor provides little to no narration about the animals you pass, so it's better suited as a rest break than an educational experience.
Visitor tip
The zoo staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly—don't hesitate to ask for assistance or directions. Reviews highlight their willingness to go above and beyond to help visitors.
Best time
Visit soon if you want to see the current animal collection before the planned expansion is completed. Future additions will change the experience significantly.

What visitors say
It's was a beautiful day. Not impressed with the train ride. The train conductor said nothing about the animals we passed. Not enough animals but they are adding on.
Amazing staff! We went there to have a fun day with our boys. At the end of the day our we noticed the insides to our key fob had fell out. We weren't able to crank or leave without it. Without hesitation the staff allowed me to walk…
Lovely, small ish zoo with lots of animals and great staff. Max two hours walk and enjoy the entire zoo. We did not experience the water park but looks great.
