    Take the train ride for $2. The Otters and Lions are the coolest. The Wild Dogs and Red Pandas are the cutest.

    Really nice zoo! The kids loved feeding the fish near the lions. Beautiful white tiger! Fun otters! Really glad we went while in the area!

    The animals are interesting and the atmosphere makes it as though it's impossible to be sad! I had such a great time here

    Go early to see the tigers and lions active. Around 12-3 most the animals are sleeping due to the heat. The Otters are my family's favorite.

    Not the greatest zoo. It feels very cagey there...I prefer zoos with larger exhibits for the animals.

    go as soon as the zoo opens or right before it closes. The tigers are hungry or have just eaten and and are very active

    I love that there's lots of shade at this zoo. You can leave the sunscreen at home.

    Not much to see at all. No tigers, bears, or giraffes. Had to pay extra to see dinosaur exhibit and other things. Could probably see everything in less than 2 hours. Disappointed to say the least.
