    Visiting the Zoo

    What a fun thing to do. First the butterfly display was wonderful! It was a very warm day, and the animals were just taking it easy. Loved seeing the wild cats, camels, zebras, etc. Just plain fun!!

    Great Zoo, old amusements rides though.

    We love going to this zoo, feeding Ducks, Goats and deer. Butterfly house is also very good. Miss the elephant though. Ducks in center pond are the best part - as my son says !

    Not bad when you have free rickets

    If I had paid for everything it would be close to 100.00 which is not worth it. The place is very run down. The rides and zoo need a major update. If they don’t do one in the next ten years I am sure this...More

    Good for young kids to see some animals. Not for older kids.

    not a lot of animals but the feeding areas are fun for kids as long as they don't get scared. rides are mostly for little kids.

    It all depends on the weather believe it or not. At this point, they are open until the end of September, they have a calender on their website so you can check as you get closer.
