A wonderful place for a walk with an impressive collection of animals that seem well cared for. Exhibits include sea lions, lions, giraffes, hyenas, buffalo, bears, wolves, pigs, alligators, gibbons, and so many more. The new flamingo exhibit is beautifully done, and the new entrance is eye-catching and so modern.

Accessibility issues:
-Hills are extremely steep. I would definitely not count on moving a wheelchair on one's own; have a friend or helper to push up the hills or slow your descent. Also consider skipping some exhibits which are up the steepest hills, like the barnyard animals (sheep, pigs, etc).
-there are handicap accessible bathrooms as well as single stall companion restrooms that can accommodate a wheelchair and helper. The companion restrooms are located near the carousel.
-Some terrain surfaces are more challenging to traverse than others. Some of it is plain asphalt, but other surfaces are textured for authenticity/theming, which may be harder on wheelchair users.
-there are ramps in/to all buildings and amenities. I did not see automatic door buttons on all the buildings, though.

The complex is clean and looks "expensive" . If you went here a decade or even a few years ago, it's worth a return trip.

Consider the membership to save money if you plan to return several times over the summer.
