Only go during the animal feeding time. Call ahead to know the schedule. The red pandas, porcupine, etc. will all be asleep otherwise, and you have to see the red pandas! The animal caretakers answer questions and engage with kids in a great way. The otters are a must-see, too. Overall, it's a charming place, especially for a small town. They also host great events.
