Ocelots were roaming, purring, growling and even touched noses. in the retile house the snakes were... More

Small for most Zoos but enjoyed it. Staff was not all that friendly. Needed more animals. Not a lot to say enjoyed he giraffes and being able to pet them.

Feeding the giraffes is the highlight and they have done a great job of limiting to only 2 food tokens per... More
