I found this place when looking online for something to do with the kids on a weekend, and it looked really cute. We packed up and made it a little day trip - drove nearly 2 hours to get there. Google and the linked website said it was open on Sundays until 8pm.
We arrived around 12:30pm, and the roads were flooded, so it was closed. What a disappointment! We checked every site we could think of online and tried calling (recorded message said our call could not be answered and we couldn't leave a message, so try again later). There was zero indication anywhere that this place was flooded and closed.
And apparently everything else in the area is closed on Sundays because we couldn't find a restaurant other than fast food and the one breakfast/lunch place in town that was open and so packed we didn't even bother trying to go inside.
4 hours in the car with 3 kids (including a toddler) for nothing. Communication is clearly severely lacking here. Major disappointment for 2 moms, a grandmother, and 3 kids. I don't even have any tips for others - I have NO idea how to even find out if this place is open or not before...

I wasn’t 100% sure where I could & couldn’t go, there were some goats that either escaped or I had wondered in an area I shouldn’t have. And is it okay to pet? There was some trash strewn about that made me sad (I did pick it up) that patrons aren’t more respectful of this place. The Cashee Wetland Walk was also full of wildlife: ducks, squirrels, turtles, a snake, & a heron were all spotted on the loop we made. All in all, a lovely morning...
Read moreFunny how my previous review was deleted. I went to this park maybe 2 months ago. As me and a friend were walking around we noticed a baby goat outside of its enclosure trying desperately to get to his mom, we let the guy who was suppose to take care of the animals know and he didn't care, I ended up catching the baby goat and putting it back in its enclosure. After that we went to get visit the zebra and on our way back a large goat was out of his enclosure and ran right towards me and my friend, my friend was ready to hop the fence and I was ready to climb a tree, he ran right thru us luckily. Personally I'm not sure I would bring kids to a zoo where they don't care about the well being of thier animals or of...
