I have been to many zoo's before and none of them compare to this one. My mom's favorite animal is an elephant and ever since she was little she has always wanted to ride one. I did a lot of research to find the perfect place and the best experience and found this place. I was not left with disappointment! My dad, who doesn't typically like zoo's, said he loved it. We did the tour and the elephant ride and enjoyed every minute. We got to feed so many different kinds of animals and pet them. I couldn't have asked for a better mother's day present. I HIGHLY recommend this zoo for anyone, especially if they like hands-on interactions with the animals. What made it even more enjoyable are the two tour guides we had, they were phenomenal. It was definitely worth the 3 hour drive from North Carolina, we will definitely be back.
