Amazing for a privately owned zoo! All the habitats look well maintained and the animals seem healthy. Visited on Sunday after the Rose Festival and there were no problems with parking or crowds. October is still warm so many of the animals were snoozing in the shade by mid morning, but mostly visible. The variety of species was worthy of any big city zoo and they’re doing a massive addition to expand the habitats. Excellent family attraction at a very reasonable cost.

I would highly and genuinely recommend this Zoo if you are wanting to see some really cool animals!! They have a wide variety of animals: White tiger, foxes, bald eagles, lions, giraffes, elephants, rhinos, meerkats, penguins, cheetahs, mountain lions, Tortoises, Black bears, deer, bison and Longhorns, and so much more! I went with my mom to this zoo and we truly had a great time, we got to feed the giraffes lettuce, and even got to hear and see the male lion roar in person! This is the perfect zoo for families if you have kids! (NOTE: Please teach your kids to be respectful towards animals, I know kids will be kids but seriously. I often see many kids screaming near the animals or at the animals, or just being disrespectful in general.) Again, I would highly recommend, go check it out if you’re in the area!

The exhibits that they have are very well done, and they are expanding. Other zoos have a wider variety of animals. The walks are shaded, with some hills. The zoo has a good cheetah breeding program. The staff makes an effort to keep the animals stimulated. The African Savannah and other enclosures are spacious and natural looking. The zoo is building an Amazon exhibit that should be good. I found the bird walkabout to be small.
