💬 What Visitors Say

💡Plan your visit for feeding times, especially for owls and eagles, to see the animals most active and engaged. Check the schedule when you arrive or call ahead for exact times.
💬Allow 1 hour maximum for the zoo and farm combined. This is a compact, intimate experience rather than a full-day attraction, making it perfect for combining with the adjacent sculpture garden.
🕐Visit on Wednesdays or Saturdays during Summer Light events (May 27 - August 22) for extended hours until 8 PM and a unique evening experience with the Gardens of Glass art installations.
💡Don't miss the rehabbed birds of prey and waterfowl in the aviaries—many cannot be returned to the wild, making this a meaningful conservation experience. The aviary exhibits are consistently praised by visitors.
💡Children 3 and under are free, and the 7-day admission validity makes it easy to break visits into shorter trips with young kids. The flat, easy-to-navigate trails are stroller-friendly.
