The staff have always been really friendly and knowledge every time I've been there. I really enjoy the new hours that have actually been in effect for at least a year or two now lol. It can usually get pretty crowded, but my tip is to go on Thanksgiving Day because it never gets too crowded then. They are only open until 2 pm on Thanksgiving, but it makes an awesome family tradition :) (my family's been doing this tradition for about 4 or 5 years now maybe?) Either way, if you love animals and/or smallish zoos you'll enjoy the Fresno Chaffee Zoo. I come from Cleveland OH and always thought that zoo was too big. IMO the Fresno Chaffee Zoo is the perfect size
