Admittedly, zoos challenge my ethical belief in animal rights. We should focus on habitat preservation instead of bringing disparate species to our climate and placing them on display.
That being said, the animals at Southwick's seem well treated at least. I was a chaperone for my daughter's first grade field trip. The children had an enjoyable day.
The best part of the zoo is the Deer Park. You can actually walk amongst the deer in a wooded environment. Bring quarters to buy treats for the deer.
