Probably the best zoo I ve visited! We were not expecting it to be so gorgeous. All the animals seemed extremely well cared for and they had tons and tons of space/enrichment opportunities. The zoo is also an animal breeding center and does a ton of conservation projects. The staff was extremely friendly and the gift shops weren t overpriced. Parking was $15. The penguin/puffin exhibit was the best experience I ve had at a zoo. That alone was worth the cost of parking. You could easily spend 6 hours here. The gardens were lush and manicured. Honestly so much thought went into every aspect of this place, I plan on coming back for a weekend to spend more time here and I live 12 hours away.
