This is a zoo of convenience. It's easy to get to and inexpensive to enter, but I always feel terrible for the animals kept there. They're in small enclosures with little or nothing to entertain them, and always look so sad.
Although the zoo does have a few impressive animals (a few types of monkeys, a pair of Arctic wolves, a bald eagle, a lynx, a spotted leopard) the rest of the animals are decidedly UNimpressive (goats, donkey, chickens, turtles, raccoons, etc.)
It's a small zoo with sad animals, but I guess if you needed something to do to get the kids out of the house for a couple hours, it's a decent place to take them.
