This is a great zoo for the size of it...The bear and lion area is spectacular. Take a lunch and eat at the park afterwards.

Last weekend we took our 2 grandsons to this small local zoo. Unfortunately it was very disappointing because- 1) Someone from the City thought it would be okay for volunteer workers to work on many construction & upgrade projects.

The zoo has a vary talented animal staff - in order to raise money the zoo offers a collection of paintings painted by the... More
