We had so much fun seeing all the animals it was quite a experience we will enjoy going back again and seeing the animals we would have liked to see elephants but there wasn't any

We were there early, arrived at 9:15, and the animals were awake and engaging. We walked the entire zoo and had a wonderful time.

I had a wonderful day at the zoo. I paid the additional fees to enter the Butterfly house and ride the train. The animals were easy to find in their enclosures and the zoo was very easy to navigate even without a map. I was impressed with the variety of animals and mix of indoor and outdoor spaces. I was able to cool off frequently with air conditioning and got a lot of steps in! I would highly recommend this for anyone that enjoys animals.

I joined my son and his class on a field trip. It was really fun and cool to see all the new additions the zoo has added. We also enjoyed all the picnic tables they have available to stop, rest, and eat. Will def return and will be riding the zoo train outside the zoo.

I have been to several zoos over the years, I have to say this is one of the best. Loved that the animals had lots of room to run and play. If I had a complaint, it would be that not a lot of snack places that were open in the zoo. The only restaurant was good, but very crowded.

Great experience at a great price! Purchasing discounted tickets in advance was a plus! We can't wait to return!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Buying tickets in advance was nice since we did not have to wait in multiple lines. Would definitely go back.

This is such a lovely zoo!! We had amazing views of all the animals, much closer to the animals than we have experienced at other zoos. Totally worth it!!! I also paid to pet the kangaroos which was the highlight of the whole day!

This was the best zoo we’ve been to! So many exhibits with well thought out habitats and conservation efforts
