We are not local to the area and traveled to visit this zoo. We used reciprocal pass through a local zoo membership for general admission and it was very affordable for a family day to the zoo. The plan is very well laid out and walkable, however I feel like the habitats were on the smaller side (as compared to others we ve seen at other zoos.) It didn t feel as natural and organic with less room for the animals to roam overall (for some of the exhibits.) We enjoyed the experience extras. Not many choices for food, but what they did have was fine. I m thinking the time of year we went was a slower season as not everything was open and also closed on the earlier side, however that also made it less crowded and we were able to see the exhibits well.
Note that they do not give out plastic shopping bags at gift shop. A plus in my book!
