💬 What Visitors Say

• 🕐Visit early at opening time for the freshest animal enclosures and best animal conditions. Multiple reviews mention maintenance and cleanliness issues that are most noticeable later in the day.
• 💡The capybaras are the star attraction and worth the visit - purchase the feeding bucket at entrance with lettuce and carrots for an interactive experience. This is the highlight most visitors recommend.
• 💬Expect a small venue that can be toured quickly (plan 1-2 hours max). Be aware that some exhibits may be empty or closed, and the facility has reported maintenance and odor issues, so manage expectations accordingly.
• 💡When visiting with children, actively supervise them closely and reinforce staff rules about animal handling. Reviews indicate understaffing and children running wild create stress for both animals and other visitors.
• 💬Consider whether the $76+ family admission cost provides value for your group given the small size and maintenance concerns noted in recent reviews. Compare with other regional petting zoos before committing.
