Disappointing. The layout is confusing, and while there is decent signage, there are no maps posted anywhere.
Doable with a good stroller, but not what I would call stroller friendly gravel paths, and a lot of uphill.
The train only runs once an hour on the hour. When I checked in at the office I expressed interest in the train (which you purchase tickets for at the depot), but the staffer didn t mention that it only runs that infrequent. I planned to do it last, but found out I missed that hour s train by 7 minutes.
I understand it is more of a shelter / rescue than a traditional zoo, but I guess I expected something different. Not impressed, probably won t return.
