A wonderful zoo with some very unique displays. Very walkable. The animals have large areas and seem well cared for and the zoo is heavily involved in conservation and protecting endangered species.

The zoo is a great activity for locals and tourists because it’s wonderfully designed to operate in all seasons. If it’s cold out, there’s fully indoor sections you can visit, the Tropics Trail is a dream on a cold winter day. If you want to go...Read More

Honestly, a great zoo. Did the walk around the old Monorail and saw SO much. Kiddo loved the farm area and the Dino area. Worth it to get a year pass imho.
