Great zoo trip with a 5 year old. Went at her pace and therefore didn't make it around the entire zoo. Which of course means we need to go back again! A very enjoyable family event.

I have been coming to this zoo since I was a child. I've noticed a lot of changes. The walking trail seems to have been cut in half, they changed burger king into "jungle cafe" (which is gross and expensive). In the buildings a lot of exhibits were empty and outside we didn't see tons of animals either. They have a sand area for children, which is great they loved it. But they got rid of the milking cows, which all children loved. All in all this was a good trip and I would go back someday

I've been to this place a few times and I enjoy it every time. At the moment some of the exhibits are closed, but they tell you this on their website, so you know in advance. The exhibits that were open were enough to fill our time (approximately 3 hours and honestly we could've stayed longer but it was just too hot). There's plenty of places to rest in the shade and just enjoy watching the animals, a play area for tots, a snack area for a quick treat, and a gift shop at the end. (The cafeteria is currently under renovation.) There's many educational opportunities for children as they have small demonstrations set up in different areas of the park, as well as informational displays, etc. Admission was very fair... cheaper than the movies. All in all it was a good way to spend a few hours and we will definitely be back.

Enjoyed a beautiful early spring day with my son. Got to see more of the animals we didn't get to see when we went last fall. And loving the elephant twins!!
