We loved the small zoo. It doesn't take 6 hours like some big zoos and its fun for the whole family. BRING QUARTERS (or it's a hassle to go get it from the booths) this is for farm animal pellets and the penny print machine in the Learning Center by the entrance. In support of the zoo and (non DD) parents ;) there are huts that sell alcoholic beverages, its about $8 a cup. Across the parking lot is a huge playground and picnic area. Just in case the kids (and you) have some energy left.
The only reasons as to why I gave it 4 stars was because some of the animals were not out due to weather, changing enclosures, sick etc. Also, during our visit (not sure if this is their norm) we couldnt go IN the farm animal enclosures and interact with them, but you can feed and pet them from the fence. Once you leave the farm animals, there is a nice hand washing station (not just a sanitizer stand).
I am excited for the construction to finish and for the Rhinos to arrive! This summer will be a great time to visit.
