This is the 3rd zoo we have been to, and is good overall-but I would recommend going when there is a special pricing discount and /or in cooler months so you can actually SEE the animals. more on TripAdvisor

I would definitly go back there if I had a chance. more on Yahoo! Travel

There is a playground for the children to stop and burn energy, a brand new Wild Animal Merry Go Round and a petting zoo complete with a hand-washing area. more on Epinions.com
