What an awesome place! Oddly enough, I've been to a lot of different zoos, and even a couple abroad. This is definitely one of the top 3 in my opinion. It's beautifully maintained, and HUGE! Way bigger than I would have thought. We went during Boo at the Zoo so lots of visitors and staff were dressed up. They were awesome with all the kids. All around, a great experience. We spent about 5 hours there and were exhausted!

My only 'complaint' is that it is really expensive. Like easily up to $150 for admission for a family of 4, parking, and if you want any snacks and/or gifts at the end. We were fortunate to be a guest of members so we didn't have to worry about admission, but I wonder how everyday families afford it. If you can, and anticipate visiting more than once in a year, I'd def recommend getting a family membership since it's pretty much paid for itself after two visits.
