This place is dilapidated, dingy, and cramped--a far cry from a modern zoological facility. Large reptiles (e.g. tortoises) are kept in plastic tanks barely larger than they are. I'm sure the owners and staff are good, well-meaning people who do care for their charges but the facility itself is sorely lacking. The highlight of the tour is the two tigers and their trainer Steve. There are also numerous varieties of snakes, lemurs, exotic fowls, alligators, etc. Youngsters may enjoy the photo-op "hands-on" opportunity to hold a (small young) alligator. Sadly, I suspect this well-intentioned mom-and-pop level operation fails to generate sufficient revenue for much-needed renovations.
