Who knew that you could ride an elephant AND hold a Wallaby (named Rocko by the way, 90's babies please tell me you are as impressed with this as I am) in the same place? Riding an elephant is a major bucket list item for me and when I found out I could do that 2 hours from home I knew I had to go! The zoo was very interactive, we fed animals, pet baby goats, and my sister looked like a freaking Disney princess in the parakeet atrium. All the animals seemed well fed, and I saw many staff members throughout the day going into exhibits to care for the animals. The staff were all very friendly and had lots of information regarding the animals, it was such a fun experience!
