At first, we were disappointed that we could no longer take guided tram rides throughout the ranch (due to COVID), but we soon realized the upgrades to the park still made our visit engaging and interactive. We experienced the camels, lemurs, macaws, and other wildlife and took plenty of pictures. What a great adventure!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Erick Dotson2024-10-05Really fun and educational.
