My 3 year old grandson and 17 year old daughter both equally love this zoo! We had a great time. Been here many times. Clean and animals look well taken care of. Volunteers can't really answer questions about the animals. Could use more knowledgeable staff floating around.

Great place for families. There is so much to do here they have picnic tables and a playground for kids. Also, a nice lake where you could just sit back and read a book. Oh, and very affordable.Ticket type: For adults $12Senior citizens $ 8Children 2 and older $6
