âHad a great time visiting the zoo. Though it was a chilly day so few parts of the zoo were empty like the poultry area zebras, hyenas etc but we had a good luck to see these amazing and majestic animals. Polar bear and snow leopard were very comfortable due to the chilled weather and it was a treat to see them play. Recommended for children to must visit with their parents and have a fun outing.â

âThis zoo is on the smaller side but it was still a great visit! The animals look well cared for. Being it was November, things were bare and there wasn't as much going on, obviously. I'd be interested to see what it looks like in the summer months. I was actually only here for a conference, and the zoo and being able to walk through it was a definite perk!â

Got to see the baby red panda were so cute .We had a burger at the burger restaurant was very good weird the pop was more than the burger! Spent couple of hours there got to see everything loved the polar bear and giraffes and the rainforest.â
