It's a great little animal park for young kids. It's only a short walk but the price isn't to high. It allows for easy access for those with strollers and it well shaded. The vaulters are a bit of a nuisance but they do a good job of keeping them off the paths. Our kids enjoyed it especially the under water otter observation area.

Would give 5 star's but every time we have came you only get to see a few animal's, the cougar died and everything else was asleep or outta site . Shouldn't have to pay when you don't see anything. Disappointing but the animal's you do see , turtles and emu's and an owl are alway's nice to see and my grand daughter was happy to see them. I'll keep coming and hopefully one day we will actually get to see more! Especially the bear and otters.
