I absolutely love this zoo.

It is the best zoo, in terms of animal care, I've ever been to. The animals seem to be very well cared for and loved by the employees.

The park is pretty clean for how busy it gets. They do a great job keeping up with its visitors.

The place is pretty huge and they have SO many exhibits. Lots of well loved animals! My favorites are: sloths (who've had 2 babies in the past 2 years, super cool to see if they're out!), capybaras, lots of frogs n reptiles!, Pecan n Cashew the raccoons, the hyenas, LOTS of penguins, otters, porcupine, river hogs, lorikeets, przelwalski horses, and giraffes.

One time we visited on my birthday, and it was kind of a slow rainy day, and we happened to be watching the giraffes when a keeper was getting ready to feed them lunch. She noticed us there, and was sweet enough to offer for us to go feed them! The experience was super cool and random! Totally made my birthday so awesome. I really enjoyed all 3 giraffes, but BB was SO stinking cute.

This place REALLY cares about their animals, and it definitely shows.

They also have an on site animal hospital, and the operating rooms are visible to the guests. Its really neat educational experience! I haven't been there while something was going on, but the employees will chat with you and teach you anything you'd like to know!!

Overall amazing place. So many fun, interactive experiences with lots of chances to learn new things! I love coming here.

The food is pretty good too, normal prices for a zoo. And the gift shop has lots of options, again normal prices.

Parking is free too! And they have quite a bit of it. That's honestly such a plus considering it's so close to downtown. I always go early during the week, so it's normally not crazy busy - except during summer.
