I love this zoo for so many reasons. Start with feeding the giraffes, it’s such an amazing experience and one you’ll want to repeat often. The views are spectacular and the exhibits are unique and so many are built into the mountain side. I love taking people here!

Best zoo ever! Beautifully laid out with plenty of sun and shade. The animals were active and feeding of some of them is allowed! Some, like penguins and wallabies were not behind glass or bars. Food was also very good and beer is available.

Wow! Best zoo ever! It’s amazing how many animal encounters (or close to it) you can have. Also, the sky ride is super fun and for the adults, good beers are available! Definitely going to be visiting again.
