This is a small zoo, but it has a lot to offer. They have been adding even more animals over the last summer. They have four new tigers, leopard cubs that were actually born on site, two different types of monkeys that live on the islands in the pond, porcupines, and mongeese. This adds to the already impressive collection that includes lions, kangaroos, bison, otters, and more. They have a petting zoo where you can feed them and a place to feed the fish which my kids like.
They offer zoo keepers talks about different animals as well as other activities and camps for kids. The train ride has an informative tour that actually goes by animals. The food is good, if a little overpriced, but what zoo isn't?
As I said, it isn't very big. You can walk the whole thing in about an hour, but that can be a good thing. I often took the kids there after daycare as a way to get them outside and get some exercise. We probably went 25-30 times last summer. You would think that it would get old, but every visit is unique. Well worth the price of membership.
