“Went for a tour it was about an hour. There are actually quite a bit of animals! More than just the ones I took the picture of. The tour guide told alot of really interesting facts about the animals. Fun for adults and children! 7$ for adults and 5$ for children and seniors, free for children under 2. Addicitonal charge for the feeding frenzy which looked really fun! They fed the camel, tiger, leopard, and ring tail lemur. It was so fun! I'd definently reccomend going!”

“It was very convenient because off its location. For one adult and a child it was 12 dollars. It was an hour and so mins to get through the tour. The animals were amazing. Actually seeing them in person was pretty cool! Took lots of pictures.”

“Very cool place. Our tour guide was funny and personable, while being able to answer questions. We felt the tour was fairly educational for what you pay. The 1 hour sunset feeding tour is perfect length, and the animals are beautiful.”
