The zoo was entertaining. The environment was clean and the experience was great. I loved seeing the animals.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children of all ages who want a combined drive-through and hands-on zoo experience in one trip. The giraffe feeding is a must-do on the walk-through side. School teachers enter free with ID. Arrive ready to pay at the gate — online ticket purchases are not available.

Really fun for the kids. We did not go through the drive thru part. But it was a really neat experience, especially feeding the giraffes.
