Went as a parent chaperone with my daughter's third grade class(es). Everyone seemed to have a good time despite the chill in the air. Some of the animals seemed less inclined to make an appearance in the cool weather, but as I mentioned we had a good visit. The park was clean. The men's restroom had no paper towels despite us being there when they opened. Only one person selling tickets and manning entry. Of course, it was a Wednesday. Tickets weren't pre-printed, though, so a bit of a bottleneck. Employees were all friendly enough and helpful as needed. I'd recommend.
Overall had a great experience. Animals were very adorable and entertaining. We did the elephant experience where we got to meet one of the elephants and watch her do her tricks. We even got to pet her trunk. Also some of the animals there were animals we had never seen before so we learned quite a bit while we were there. Definitely recommend going here!
Great zoo for a fun day out. FLAT and easy walking. They have an array of animals, a great playground, many shaded areas with picnic tables and even misting stations for those hot summer days. They have a train ride $3, it doesn't stop and you really don't see any animals but it does take you completely around the outer-band of the property. Kids loved the parakeet feeding, $2 for a stick of seeds. Giraffe feeding is $3 but you don't get much for the money. Everyone there was so friendly ... ticket counter, security, gift shop ... all super nice and helpful.
We went on a weekday and were able to get in rather quickly with a low crowd. Several exhibits were under refurbishment when we went. Some of the exhibits were really nice but it was rather hot so the admirals were mostly hiding in the shade. We rode the train which was nice on a hot day but it costs extra. The sky liner was not running that day. We had lunch at the cafe The food was standard fast food with hamburgers and chicken strips. There is a large seating area outdoors. It is a small zoo but fun to take small kids for animal encounters.
