💬 What Visitors Say

💡Bring $3-5 per bag to purchase animal feed and peanuts – visitors report that animals actively come to you for food, making for interactive and memorable experiences with species like the 'zedonkey' and other animals
🕐Plan your visit for late March through Labor Day when the park is open daily (10am-4pm, last admission 3pm). Fall is limited to weekends only, and the park closes November through mid-March, so summer is your best window for flexibility
💡Arrive early to see young animals and babies – recent visitors highlighted seeing nursing wallabies, ducklings, baby goats, and lambs, suggesting the park frequently has newborns on display during peak seasons
💬Allow 2-3 hours to see the 100+ species across mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. Visitors frequently mention the wide variety available, so budget adequate time to avoid rushing through exhibits
💬Book ahead if visiting as a school or church group – the park offers special group rates and visits, which can provide cost savings over individual admission ($15 adults, $10 kids 2-11)
