  • It is a very neat and fun place to go. It is very beautiful there. But one negative thing about it is that a lot of the animals have small cages. Like the poor bears. As an animal lover i think animals deserve to be free, but atleast if they have to stay in captivity they should be treated better... more on Yahoo! Travel
