Wow can't believe this is free. Our kids are young adults & we all had lots of fun. Very clean & tidy & good variety of smaller animals.

An amazing place to spend time with the kids. Great playground. Nice shaddy areas to sit and eat a picnic or enjoy an on site coffee or ice cream.

Entrance is free (you can donate any mount if you want). There's a playground for kids to play if they're done seeing all the animals inside.

Great place for the family, for a break, picnic, relax, read a book under a tree. It's free, with the option of giving a donation (which we always give, as it helps)

It was great to talk to Renee one of the keepers and hear her passion for protecting the animals & improving their living conditions.
