Only GOD forgives you faster than your DOG!#ReflectDogs All three pins are very nice and very big. They all are a little different with some of them having nice agility items and some of them just having much more room. One of the large pins does have some tree coverage in it which would be nice during the summer with picnic tables underneath them. There is also a large shade structure that has a bench on both sides of the fence. Nice double-gated entry area with nice door handles. There does seem to be a little mud right in front of the double-gated entry area after it rains. It's just a nice big fun dog park that there is plenty of parking right next to.

Thought it is a small zoo it packs a fabulous punch. So much to see and different creatures of the world 🌍. It is nice because it is a small 2 hour outing with the family. The staff is friendly and answers any questions you have. They seem knowledgeable and genuine excitement about being there. Bathrooms were clean as the zoo itself.
