We has a wonderful time! So much to do for family of all ages! We got the year pass and will definitely be back
The zoo was nice enough however the state of the tiger is heart breaking. It just continually paced back and forth and if a little research is done it's noted tigers do this due to lack of stimulation, restricted space, frustration of instincts or environment stress. The enclosure does not mimic a tiger's natural habitat at all. Please let this tiger live out his remaining life at a rescue if he is unable to go back to his natural habitat. I would rather see a zoo without stressed animals then to see this again.
Great Zoo with beautiful landscaping. The animals were very lively especially the otters and giraffes
We went to visit on a hot day in June. We were able to bring in water bottles and there are bubblers (water fountains) conveniently located throughout the zoo. Though it was hot, the zoo has shade and air conditioned exhibits nicely spaced around the park as well as sprayed water for cooling. Nice area for kids to cool off (bring suits!) We got our hands stamped and left for lunch at nearby Mexican food at Don Poncho’s. Highly recommend! You do need to pay for parking but we received discounted entry because of a membership at a reciprocal zoo. Enjoyed seeing many animals I had not heard of before. We’re fortunate to see the koalas eating and climbing as well as a rhino getting fed. The animals seemed happy and were surprisingly active given the heat. Nice animal displays. There were a few rides but we didn’t go on any of them. We spent 4-5 hours here, walking slowly and reading about each animal and enjoying the air conditioning. Will definitely return!
What a great zoo. My teenagers where super excited about seeing all the animals and sea creatures. Admission fee was reasonable. We spent about 4 hours there. LOVED the manatees. My daughter (18) loved the stingrays. The safari ride was awesome. I was worried my teens wouldn't be interested but they absolutely loved it.
It was an amazing experience! I enjoyed the atmosphere and seeing all the beautiful wildlife . It was a great experience! Would do it again !
Buy directly from zoo. Don’t use 3rd party sellers. More expensive and they lied about being able to make changes
“We understand weather and animal care can affect visibility, but we were disappointed that significant construction and multiple unavailable exhibits weren’t communicated before purchasing tickets.”
They have a lot of animals and different attractions for little kids. 2 large splash pads allow the kids to get wet and cool off which was unexpectedly large. We didn't get to see and do everything in one day. Loved the experience and if you are nearby, it is worth the annual pass because it is equivalent to 2 visits with 2 adults and 1 child. The place is very clean and not too crowded during the week. The staff is super friendly and the whole atmosphere of place was really great for exploring and having your own adventures. It really reminds me of a small animal kingdom because of the variety of things to do.
We come here every year to support the zoo and the work they do. Exhibits are clean and great places for the animals. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Never gets old😊
