💬 What Visitors Say

💬Plan to spend 2-3 hours exploring the zoo's simple, easy-to-follow trail system. The compact size makes it manageable for families, and you won't get lost, but allow enough time to enjoy close-up animal viewing opportunities.
💡Don't miss the behind-the-scenes animal hospital tour opportunity to see both indoor and outdoor enclosures. This unique educational access provides insight into animal care that most zoos don't offer visitors.
💡Visit early in your trip to identify the key exhibits (elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, otters) since the zoo is small and some animals like the polar bear may not always be visible or on display.
💬Be aware the zoo can have persistent odor issues throughout the grounds and parking lot. Visitors with sensitive noses may want to plan a shorter visit or check reviews for current conditions before going.
🕐At $12 per ticket, the admission is reasonable for a small zoo but budget accordingly. Consider visiting on weekdays when crowds are likely lighter, making it easier to enjoy close animal encounters.
