I'm embarrassed to say that I let the media and negative reviews color my preconceptions of the zoo and didn't want to go wheny wife suggested it. We took our 3y/o and really enjoyed it. Seems well maintained and clean. Lots of animals that you can actually get close enough to see. Staff was friendly and explained that most of the negative reviews were from trolls that never visited the zoo and explained why the hype over the elephant wasn't fair. The elephant has a nice big enclosure from what I could see. Didn't seem distressed.
