Words cannot express how much I loved this place! I wish I could come back every weekend. I would always just pass this place when visiting big cities, little did I know it would turn out to be my favorite place ever. The animals here are so majestic and taken care of. They have lots of animals I would have never thought a snake farm would have such as a lion, otters, peacocks, and even a llama! My fiancée said they look just like they do on Fortnite lol. This is such a gem with different presentations and activities happening throughout the day with just the price of $25. It has all the main animals of a regular zoo but much more intimate and less crowded. Not to mention, the staff is so kind and knowledgeable! Please come support this amazing place; they deserve all the love! 🐾 🐍

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

A strong pick for families with children aged 4 and up who want more than passive zoo viewing. Live shows and animal interaction opportunities make it engaging across age groups. Birthday parties with a private animal show are a genuine differentiator. Snake-averse visitors will find plenty of non-reptile animals throughout the park.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Check the daily show schedule at the entrance and plan your route around show times
⏰Birthday party packages must be booked in advance and include a private animal show
🎟️The zoo appears small from the road and covers significant ground β€” allow at least two hours

β€œGreat experience, looks small from the outside but is decent size with plenty of animals. I personally don't really like snakes but they had other great animals and you can even pet some of them. Recommend to other people to come and visit.”
