What visitors say
We visited on a Monday in mid-April 2025. We bought some food over in Monarch Market right next door and was hoping to eat here while the kids played a bit but it was completely packed. All the tables were full but a few of the benches…
Wonderful place to play and have fun.
Great experience with the animals and an enjoyable moments with your family...
