Small zoo with so much heart. It ended up being bigger than we thought. No admission fee but they take donations. There were a good variety of animals and plants to look at with peacocks and peahens running free. We donated on the way in...Read More

Donations are recommended but it is a free zoo. Animals are in beautiful enclosures. Peacocks roam free even with their babies. Tigers are gorgeous. Great place to visit

A really nice little zoo! The grounds were very well kept, beautiful tigers, lots of birds and primates, and the giant anteaters were really cool. There was a nice children's play area, and numerous benches if you wanted to sit. And, it's free.

The zoo is free, donation only! Great little playground for the kids, they have an ant eater, tigers, sloth, and lots of cool monkeys and birds. And the Zoo grounds itself is quite pretty. The zoo takes 1-2 hours max I would say. ...Read More

What a beautiful zoo! I am still amazed that the zoo is completely free to enter. They do allow you to make donations, but we didn't feel any pressure to do so by staff (we donated because we appreciated it). The staff are very friendly...Read More

What an amazing zoo, especially when the admission is free and the zoo is not crowded at all even on a Sunday. The peacocks freely walk everywhere in the zoo and literally pass by you. The cockatoos and other parrots can get very loud. Tortoises...Read More

This zoo is amazing. You can see animals both within the zoo cages and outside as some of the birds wander around (and some little geckos sneak onto the plants and poles around the zoo). Please consider donating to help the animals here (they have...Read More
