Super small, quiet and not busy! Animals were active and a super fun playground for the kids! Great way to spend an hour without spending a dime

There were 7 in our group from 3 1/2 to 70 and all very much enjoyed the variety of animals. We watched as volunteers "socialized" many of the parrots out of their cages. It was obvious how much these volunteers enjoy their work at the...More

Pretty sad. Lots of potential and good location; but really nothing to see. We have more critters in our yard every morning. If you see the sign; keep driving. If you stop; we told you so; have a good grin and a nice stroll.
