What visitors say
nice little zoo for kids and their parents, come and enjoy a piece of wildlife in the big apple
This is a little zoo for kids and their parents, to come and enjoy a piece of wildlife in the big apple. The sea lions will bark when they get hungry.
Gorgeous pool. They have a new sea lion, and always in gorgeous condition. The training sessions aren't public anymore, but it's still fun to see the beautiful creatures. The peacocks stroll around the area too.
