New african forest exhibit is up and the monkeys look great in the huge tree, still love the tiger exhibit best, cats in tree looking down are so adorable. Happy animals you can tell, keep up the good work :)
Loved all the animal exhibits especially the giraffes, otters, petting the stingrays, primates, monkeys, reptiles, and all the bamboo and greenery.
My family had an absolutely amazing time here. The staff were all very pleasant and friendly. We obviously loved the animals. I would definitely recommend this place for a nice family outing.
A lot of walking. At the tiger exhibit, tigers were playing in the water to keep cool.
Great assortment of animals to see as well as a very well done dinosaur exhibit. It is far out there but worth the drive. Great family destination.
Really enjoyed it. It's a bit pricey though. The monkey and giraffe exhibits were great.
Busier then i expected. Kids had a blast ranging in age from 2 to 11. Some parts are needing some up grades but a great day!
It's a bit tired, but they're trying to revitalize, and several of the exhibits have been redone. Overall, a very good experience. Children are free during January, which was a very nice surprise!
We went for the first time yesterday on a rainy day. I guess the animals didnt care much for the rain because most stayed indoors. The layout is a bit confusing. You'll end up walking around in circles. We bumped into same groups of families who were just as lost as we were. They have a train but its an extra cost (i dont know how much). I listened to the train drivers and let me tell you - i'm glad we didnt ride because the train drivers' voices were annoying. I dont know why they sound the way they do, i think generally, most people would appreciate a normal (not too theatrical) voice like a normal person. I love animals thats why i try to visit as many zoos as I can anywhere in the world. Im giving this a 3 star - some improvements maybe in the future? Especially those train drivers please !!!
Went to the spooktacular it's really something to do to get out the house when u have really little ones it's not scary at all but u don't get to see any animals just the giraffes but still a good time they can wear their costumes and get candy
Kids had a blast. It's no Bronx Zoo but animals all have a decent amount of room and seem to be very cared for. Will definitely be back.
We had a blast. Baby loved it. One whole day of nonstop fun.
Clean, lots to see, went for an evening event so it wasnt crazy hot. Need to go again because 3 hrs wasnt enough to see all the cool lil critters.
It was amazing! The place is old I remember going there when I was very little but it was working great! It was very kid friendly and was really fun. The animals were easy to see and you could really tell what they were. There is a train that takes you around the park and the workers tell you about the animals and stuff. It's great for kids. There is a playground and lots of interactive stuff like a stingray petting area and you can feed the giraffs. It is beautiful too. They have nice paths and beautiful flowers and stuff everywhere. The glass is kept very clean so you can take good pictures of the animals. It is an amazing experience and I love going.
Crowded during pandemic and Too many people were not wearing mask. Other than that, everything was great.
Great exhibits. The special dinosaur exhibit was fantastic. We are ready to see the new addition. It looks promising and it won't disappoint if it's anything like the tiger exhibit.
I enjoyed my visit with my grandson. There was a lot to see & keep us entertained. We enjoyed the train ride.
I love the Zoo! The staff is friendly and the animals are so amazing to look at it! It's a very big zoo, so it's a whole day! Highly recommend!
Great place to take the family! All food is a bit pricey but it was expected. Had fun with the wife and kids.
