Great zoo with lots of animals! Many of the exhibits were closed due to COVID. Masks were required in certain areas of the park, but for the most part we didn t have to wear them which was nice since we were mostly outside.
I was really excited to see that this is the zoo that houses Fiona! I have followed her on Facebook since she was born, and it was really cool to see her in person.
They had areas where you could normally feed certain animals like giraffes, and animals in the petting zoo. But those were all closed off due to COVID as well. Props to the park for keeping everyone safe during this time.
There was a brand new baby rhino that did not have a name yet.
Manatee exhibit was closed, and that was disappointing. We were hoping to see that.
We only had a couple of hours to get through the entire zoo before they closed. We made a last minute decision to stop here on our way to Gatlinburg from Michigan.
When you re driving to the zoo, it doesn t feel like you re in the best area of town. But once you pull in to the parking lot and walk in to the park it s fine. 5/5 rating for this zoo!
