Great little zoo. Get to see animals close up unlike the bigger zoos where they're off in a distance sleeping. My kids love it here! Dominick the donkey is the best!

A small but fun animal filled park perfect for families looking to get out of the house and explore with their littles in low cost places. It was somewhat stroller friendly, but I recommend a wagon as it is rocky and unpaved. It was not crowded which was a plus. The kiddos loved the roaming peacocks!
