Came for the first time to celebrate a birthday and had such a great time! Animals were all so well maintained and the kids loved interacting with the tour guides. It was neat to see that big cats love cat nip too! Will definitely return.

First time here and loved it! The staff and volunteers were friendly and knowledgeable. They have ongoing construction as they are expanding. Also plan to build sticks and bricks to replace some structures that are trailers. Lots of kids. Reasonable price and worth the experience!
