SO MUCH FUN!!! we spent a couple hours here, and would have spent more if the splash park was open. Zoo was clean, and staff were friendly. $11 for adults and $5 for a toddler. Wasn't crowded and all the animals were active and clearly well cared for. We will definitely be returning!

We got the annual membership this year and did not regret it. In addition to the animals, Dino Dig, playground, and splash pad we enjoyed the special events like the Easter Egg Hunt, watching the chimps paint, and the carnival. We love the peacocks that wander on the sidewalks. Parking is convenient, there are plenty of benches, and the staff is very friendly.

Loved the experience! My favorite part was all of the birds around the zoo. If you hold your arm and and stay still with the provided food, you can feed the turkeys and peacocks. Super fun time!

We had a very nice time at the zoo today. We celebrated our great-grandson’s birthday. It was fun to watch all the kids when the zoo personnel brought the baby porcupine, chinchilla, & the opossum out to show them. It was an enjoyable afternoon.

It was great to see the new exhibits and animals. I remember the zoo when I was younger, so happy it is still open! Very clean and we'll kept facilities for the animals.

What a great little zoo they have here. Shady, easy to walk and not overwhelming. Saw both the chimpanzee and bear training demos. Really informative and very interesting. Will have to bring grandkids here for sure!!

Portions of the park were closed, but the dog park was open, which is what counted most to us. The dogs enjoyed running free in the gravel, and walking paths along the river were right across the road. We had a great time here!

Very nice and fairly quiet playground. Lots of neat equipment for kids to play on. Kind of out of the way, but that's what makes it nice and quiet.
