This is definitely a world class destination. The animals seem happy and well cared for. The employees seem also happy and cared for. There are tons of activities for families and adult groups.

I recommend bringing healthy snacks unless you are planning for a cheat day; good options tend to be on the fried or sugary side. Parking is free! Definitely lots to do for a full day!
