Naila Naushad2024-07-14Great place to visit. Friendly staff. They have Macaws, Bears, Lions, Tigers, kangaroos, Camels, Emu, mini cows, some reptiles, Zebras and goats. Goats are the prime attraction . There's also a playground and water park. Don't forget to bring some extra cash as some stalls use cash or venmo. Will definitely go again.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Jamie Bailey2024-07-12This is the coolest place for both kiddos and adults. They have a splash pad, petting zoo, 2 playgrounds (one covered) for both toddlers and older kids, and some food trucks! We went on a Saturday morning and it wasn’t packed at all. Lots of shade to cool down in too. The animals seem to be treated very well and have lots of space to roam. They were all sweet and eager for snacks. We had a blast.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Jason Smith2024-07-11Awesome experience. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They answered my kids questions with a smile. The splash pad was a nice surprise during the heat of the July sun.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Amy Daza2024-07-09Nice and enjoyable family outing. They have some unique animals (bears and white bengal tiger). The cages are close enough for toddlers to be able to easily observe the animals. It's a fun experience to feed the animals. We used a jogging stroller, but it can still be difficult to maneuver and push on the gravel. Limited dining options, however I did like my chicken salad croissant. Bathrooms are decent. More shade or benches throughout would be a helpful add-on. They offer zookeeper talks/feedings every half hour. Because it's a small property, you can attend the talks without feeling like you have to hike across the zoo. The two female zookeepers that gave presentations were knowledgeable and personable. The male intern that did the sloth presentation needed practice...and a microphone. We would return again.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Sherry Miller2024-07-01We go there often. We enjoy all of the animals there. And we played on the smash pad this time. The kids loves this place almost as much as I! Lol!
We are excited to see what happens when the sun disappears! Come find out how the animals will behave with us! Gates open at 12pm, the estimated time of total darkness is around 1:45pm, the park will close at 3pm. During peak eclipse hour we will be feeding our Lions Tigers Bears (oh my) and our Hyena! Predator feedings are at 1:30pm (lion tiger), 1:45pm (bear), and 2:00pm (hyena)
