You have a very good time at the southwick's zoo. There are a lot of wonderful animals and a petting area with the deer which my son enjoyed thoroughly. They had a nice little playscape and some very decent food options. However, I really don't feel that they had very many rides for the kids there were maybe a half a dozen and they weren't in the best shape. When I was at the entryway and asking about whether I should get the upgraded pass for $36 I was led to believe that there was much more of a ride area than there was. word to the wise, unless your kids are going to ride them for hours don't buy the upgraded pass just buy tickets inside the park for each ride.
