Awesome place... get ready to walk a LOT though. Not good to go when it's above 85 degrees. Mostly everything is outdoors, except for the aquarium. The aquarium is not huge, but a nice size and you can get really close to the sea life there. The gift shops are really cute, they aren't astronomically priced, but they aren't cheap either. They have souvenir stuffed animals that they offer for two for 32 dollars, which is nice if you have small children. Food and drinks is offered throughout the zoo and is moderately priced as well. The zoo and aquarium is very reasonably priced at 16 dollars for an adult ticket. There are many different rare animals in their zoo, that some even can only be found in captivity in this location. They tend to wounded and sick animals as well, and offer advice to help with conservation efforts. This is really important to myself and a lot of people, that animals are well taken care of and not pulled from their natural environment for entertainment purposes. They also offer different experiences, like getting close to a red panda on certain dates. You can find the dates and prices on their website. I will definitely be visiting again! But this time, with better shoes and not in the middle of a July heat wave.
