The place is Free.. So its ok. The thing that concerned me the most was the monkey exhibit. They didn't look like they were in the right atmosphere. Had no shade and had like 2-3 dried up branches.. It was very disappointing because the monkey's didn't look happy at all.

This place is a good place for little ones to explore different anmails..not many but enough for their attention span..geared for little kids.. there is a huge park there too a few little rides as well.. there is also a train which is a 10 to 15 mins ride

This place is awesome for us city folk who never see more wildlife than the occasional trash panda or road pancake. The kids love it and can easily spend hours in the goat pen alone. This is certainly one of the greatest treasures Lafayette has to offer.

Great small zoo in Lafayette. They have many exhibits where you can get really close to the animal like a farm animal petting zoo, a butterfly garden and a wallaby one where you can watch them in a relaxed environment.

This is a wonderful little park for children of all ages and abilities as well as adults. There are several covered picnic areas, a small free zoo that is absolutely wonderful, as well as many different playgrounds for all ages. From sitters/crawlers to elementary-aged children, this is an excellent park. There are even ducks and a little pond and also a train that you can purchase tickets for in the zoo gift shop. Only $2 per person over 2 years old! Great deal! My 3 year old and 18 month old had an awesome time!

It is a very nice place, perfect for a family outing, very clean. Personally, I liked that there are lots of garbage cans. And painted in a very blue green color fasiles to locate, also the drinking troughs is very nice detail that has drinking troughs for the puppies

We usually have a great day here. But we visited the zoo on August 25, 2018 and we're disappointed. The goats in the petting zoo were jumping on adults and knocking children down that had food. Only one soap dispenser had soap and no paper towels outside the petting xoo. The children were having fun playing in the tunnels when suddenly my 4 year old granddaughter started screaming and came out with a cut on the palm of her hand and scratches on her knee bleeding. There is obviously something sharp in there that caused this. This should be inspected before more children are injured.

Good little zoo and park and it's free! Petting zoo, monkies, wallabies bald eagles and otters! Great size park for all ages and a train ride. In spring of 2020 penguins will be there too. Great place to bring the kids at a great price. Free!

Love the fact it's free! As a single parent taking your child to a zoo gets expensive but not here my son is 2 and didn't want to leave! Deff going again soon! Very clean, organized and friendly staff

Very small but very special zoo would visit again and the train ride was pretty cool too but to get into the zoo you have to pay nothing which is great for parents the want to find something cheap and fun for the kid's

Went to the playground at the park the other day, my child never wants to come back. We witnessed a goose attack a 2 year old child and then proceed to attack a puppy. Later reached out to the owner and found out that the puppy had immense brain swelling, it's eyes were swollen, the head was 4x the size it should have been, and the dog was paralyzed and had to be put down. The child was not badly hurt, but had a few scratches. I would definitely not recommend going here until they control their goose problem.

Adorable, free zoo!! Highly recommend. There are very fun and entertaining exhibits like a petting zoo area, butterfly garden, and a kangaroo walk. The place is very clean and well taken care of. This is a great time both for children and the adults. The entire place will take you between 1 and 2 hours to enjoy.

This Park is amazing!! It has everything a person could want, a water park, a small zoo, and a train that goes around a pond. It has play grounds throughout the park for the children. It also has Memorials for their veterans. Flowers, green grass beautiful scenery abound.

Got to the Zoo and it was closed...we were greeted by a very rude employee that told us we had to go...he was showing us out and argued with us about what the website said...It said open until 7...they closed at 4:30...my kids were super disappointed...UPDATE your site

Kids love this place and parents love that it's free. The train rides are $2. My negative is the porcupine and monkeys don't look great. Rocking, eating their stool. We don't spend much time in that area now. The last 3 times we went near the monkey cages, the entire area smelled like marijuana. Maybe have someone posted there, and signs... no vaping near cages, etc.
