Grab a family membership and this place is an awes...

Grab a family membership and this place is an awesome place to go for an afternoon anytime during the year. In fact, our family's favorite time is to go in late fall or early spring, or even in the middle of winter. None of the services are open, but many of the animals are out, and the crowds are minimal. Getting a membership means that we don't feel guilty about just coming and spending an hour or two when we can't see the whole zoo. Staff are always really helpful, especially those who take care of the animals. They're always willing to stop and talk for a minute when we have questions.
