Online it looked like the animals enclosures were extremely good and I was misled by the very good reviews. As an animal lover myself and a keeper of multiple species of pets, I can definitely tell you this was absolutely heartbreaking for me. The macaws were sick; They wouldn’t even fly around, which is extremely unusual for birds. The bats were in extreme distress and we’re flying around like crazy, The penguins were desperately trying to get colder by eating ice and laying all over it. There was three lynx’ in an enclosure that was much too small for them, The beavers wouldn’t even come out. There was about 10 frogs in what I assumed to be a 75 gallon tank size. There were dozens of Cichlid Sized fish in a tank that was definitely not big enough for them. The raccoons showed signs of depression, there was an anaconda and it wasn’t even sticking out its tongue so we believe it was dead. There was also monkey that we didn’t know if it was dead or alive or very sick either … there was just so much more that was wrong with that place. I couldn’t even bear to take more pictures. We didn’t even stay too long. Not to mention that you’re paying 50 bucks for two people to only go see animals and you don’t get access to the planetarium or anything even though when you call they’ll say that you get access to the whole thing. Definitely will not be returning, And will be discouraging other people as well. This place is far from ethical. Don’t let the reviews fool you, Especially if you have kids You don’t want to teach them that it’s OK that these animals are kept in these conditions.
