This is the greatest little zoo I have ever been to. It was such a good time. Where to begin?

First of all; this zoo is very easy to get to. The parking situation is more than ample and free.

Admission is twelve dollars per adult. Children under 2 (I think it's two years old) are free. My party and I (four adults, two babies) were very happy with the pricing. I would suggest you not bring a stroller into the zoo, as the space can be tight at times.

The staff are incredibly friendly and polite. No exaggeration, every single person working here are some of the friendliest and helpful people ever.

What really blew my mind was the fact that you can feed almost all of the animals. The person working the register had asked if we wanted to buy some food for them. Having experienced opportunities to feed animals at other zoos, I at first, refused the offer, as other zoos tend to charge a premium to feed one specific animal with lines that never end. Not the case here. The first group of animals you can feed are the tortoises. A couple had started to feed them and it was amazing to watch just how gently they fed from their hands! Someone in my group went back to the register to purchase some food for the animals immediately after seeing this.

The animals all look very well cared for. In fact, most of the animals here have been rescued from a multitude of previous living conditions, including a monkey who was rescued from a scientific testing lab of some sort back in 1981(?). This really warms your heart knowing that the animals weren't captured for the mere purpose of being put on display, like other zoos do.

My son, in particular, loved the monkeys and the goats. The goats were super friendly. I loved the entire experience.

I would highly recommend coming here. It's prices right, easy to get to, and the experience from animal to the staff is outstanding. I will be coming back.
