I absolutely enjoyed this place. I am a teacher and took 85 of my students and I have heard nothing but positive reviews. Now, I no the controversy of zoos. I am one of those people that believe that not all animals should be in zoos. I can't stand seeing the big cats and small confinements. But this is Zoo, overall, has done a good job of trying to make sure the habitat fit the animals. It is on a large acreage of land. The long walk but it was a nice view and overall good zoo.
One of the nation's best zoo's plentiful parking but does get full on busy days arrive very early. The place is huge wear comfortable shoes. Plenty of food pavilions and restrooms. The best thing about this zoo is it gives you a view of animals in their natural habitats and has many viewing areas. We got to hand feed three giraffes it was amazing. You won't be disappointed
My all time favorite zoo. The animals have more space than I have ever seen at other zoos and they seem happier. We fine it best to park in North America and start by taking the tram to Africa and then walk back to North America. This let's you end your journey at the kids playground and close to the car. This is important because the tram gets busy towards the end of the day.
I personally love this zoo! Ive been quite a few times and each visit is different from the last. Not only do you get exercise you feel welcomed and all the enclosures are different from the last! Yes some of the animals are not always out but you can't blame the zoo for that different animals like different climates and some need their rest. I think its a wonderful trip for anyone who wants to have fun!
This is a great zoo and an awesome place to bring the whole family. There is quite a bit of walking involved to see the whole park because it is much larger and spread out than your typical zoo. This zoo makes a real effort to give the animals a habitat with plenty of room and as close to their natural habitat as possible. This is great for the animals, but can occasionally lead to some of the animals not being close to a viewing area or even not in view at all. A great tip to help ease the stress of so much walking: Take the tram from a stop near the entrance, (either N. America or Africa) to the stop in the center point between the 2 sides, and walk back towards the entrance. Most of the walking will be DOWNHILL if you do this. Much less tiring this way. Also for those that may need it they offer electric carts for rent and nearly everywhere in the zoo is accessible with these.
