I normally hate zoos, I think they are cruel to the animals as they generally speaking pen them up and strip them from their natural environment. In some aspects, this is the same type of thing, however I felt like the exhibits were better and for the large animals especially very spacious. The experience is great, the facilities are not the best, but are far from the worst I have seen and the staff is awesome, knowledgeable and fun.

Take a minute to feed the giraffes and say hi to the parrots (many are rescues from homes that could no longer keep them). That is another aspect which made me feel very good, they take in animals kept as pets in cases where they should not have been pets.

Take a day (seriously, you cannot see it all in half a day) and pay a visit. You won't be disappointed.
