    Zoo is small, nothing overly special. A bit expensive for what we get back. I won’t be back for a while.

    Was broken hearted there were no giraffes or camels or sea lions or polar bears or jaguars. This zoo definitely needs lots of improvement.

    Always go early, majority of the animals get more active right before lunch.

    go on a cool, overcast day, preferably in the morning... you'll see more animals and they'll be active.

    Members evening at the zoo - much of the zoo is closed by 8, no food or other vending. Long lines for carousel and other special events. Not worth the trip.
