“They take great care of their animals and swap them out so no animal gets too stressed from the atmosphere of the mall, BTW tbh it's it's own quite little corner! Prices aren't bad and you get a free small feeding cup with entry! Wife variety of animals and you can pay extra for a holding or feeding of different animals! Love this place! Def less busy during the weekdays but still great wherever!”
