My son is disabled and does not have many outdoor experiences. He enjoyed the park.

We loved the goats, tortoises, sun bear, and so many other animals. We were not happy with the small space for sloths, jaguar, and binturong.

Nice visit

Went as soon as it opened up! Staff was nice and polite. Saw all the animals milling about. They were going from their inside enclosures to the outside or vice versa. Overall it was a nice visit!

Great day trip for the family!

This place was amazing! Our entire family had the best time. The safari ride was so much fun. Such an awesome experience to be able to see the animals up close and personal.
