Really liked this zoo more than San Antonio zoo. They don't have every animal but the ones they have are in nice enclosures. It seemed like the facilities for children were very good. The tigers were the best of show. They were playing and tussling like kittens.

Nice zoo with lots of walking exercise. Staff was very friendly and informative. It was a little difficult to find as there were not many road signs. It was very family friendly... a great place to take children in strollers.

The zoo is well laid out and the animals are in exceptional conditions. There are air conditioned buildings to duck into out of the heat and local companies have sponsored covered areas to walk under and there are ample play areas for active kids.

This is a special part of our Easter weekend. Love visiting the zoo. The meercat scout saw an airplane and was doing his job watching to be sure the family was safe.

Lots of shade for the visitors (not so much for the animals.) Visited on Easter Sunday and staff had given the orangutans plastic buckets and eggs, which they were shredding and eating. Other than this, we enjoyed the zoo and the animals looked healthy. Able to get up very close to some of the exhibits (Dik dik, Kori Bustard and... More

This is a great stop for all ages. There is a wide variety of animals and the enclosures are well-maintained and well-suited for viewing. The otters and the big cats - especially the tigers - were a real treat. As with all zoos, try to visit when the weather is coolest, but there is ample shade and benches for us... More
