We saw animals we have not seen at our local, San Diego or DC zoo. There was a baby gorilla on display...so cute. They had a trainer working with him. So human like. It was a great way to be outside for awhile. More

A small zoo - took about an hour to see it all. Snack bar was overpriced. I went last summer and it was HOT! Not much shade or resting places, My husband was very disappointed. Small children would enjoy but take them on a road trip and go to the New Orleans Zoo. More

The zoo was great. My only problem or complaint is they need more seating arrangements especially for the elderly and more restrooms. I loved the petting zoo and baby nursery. Did buy gifts for my grandchildren whom were not with me. However I hope to come back and bring them the next time. Well worth the trip. More

What can you say about a zoo :-) Fun to watch the children interact with the animals...food available to feed animals. Nice train ride through the park. More

This is a pretty nice zoo bigger than the one in gulfshores but not quite as big or nice as the one in new orleans. They have plenty of animals to see and a trian ride that is pretty fun too:) It is a little expensive and quite a drive, but it makes for a fun day:) More
