What visitors say
This exhibition is truly well thought out. It gives sensory kids options and some respite from the noise and chaos.
These animals look really happy and I got to meet one of the workers (Jackson was his name I think) super nice and knowledgeable guy. Really appreciate this zoo!
The manatee exhibit was nice. You could see under the water to view the manatees wherever they were.
