I had a nice time at this zoo! Some animals were understandably off exhibit because of the cold, but the animals I did see were very well cared for with gorgeous exhibits. The educational staff at this zoo is top notch. Eric had tons of information to share about the elephants and did a great job sharing some cool facts with me! It’s obvious he is passionate about his role! The zoo offers reciproc...

The animals look well cared for, and the entire area is clean and well maintained, with neat and comfortable walking paths. A special mention goes to the restrooms — warm ...

There was quite a bit of construction going on, however it did not prohibit my movement on the walkway. I saw the entire zoo within two hours. I must add that I was alone therefore I moved much faster than others who were with children, the elderly...
