Awesome Zoo! We spent the whole day wandering through the zoo. Buy a combo ticket to take a "train" ride through the forest and see the elk up close! The sky ride was a terrific view of all the animals especially the ones you can't see up close in a large enclosure. No limit on train or sky rides with a combo ticket! Have some ones or quarters on you to feed the goats in the petting zoo and deer. Watch out for your little ones though because both are pushy to get at your feed! Carnival rides are included for your little ones too. We missed the bird shows but they welcome you in after to talk to the staff. Visited an education booth where they had a blue tongued skink we all got to touch. My kids loved it! Country setting, great parking in a field across the street. We didn't eat at the restaurant but it looked nice. We did sit at the picnic area and ate good food at the food stand, typical prices but don't forget how expensive it must be to run a zoo! I felt I got my monies worth!
