  • This is probably the WORSE ZOO I've ever been to in 60 years of going to zoos. You pay $160 to get in the door and then they try to charge you for everything you do once your inside. This wouldn't be....  more

  • The zoo is well laid out and fairly easy to get around with some grade but nothing outrageous. Some construction in progress for predator passage has a small area closed off. While it was a cool...

  • Extremely nice and well maintained zoo. Very big. Exhibits were well taken care of. We loved the little desert walk through. It was very reasonably priced. I think that is probably one of the best zoos I have ever been to. It was easy to navigate. Flamingos are my favorite and they had a really great exhibit with lots of birds! Hole in the rock was very close almost within walking distance if it wasn't too hot. After the zoo we drove over and climbed up and were in awe over the view. Well worth it and I'm so glad we stopped.
  • I will always and absolutely love this place! Coming to this zoo as a child, and as an adult now makes me so happy! They are creating new exhibits for the animals, and everyone is always trying their best to keep the place clean. The new update in the gift shop is absolutely nice! Of course the food is a bit expensive, but going at the zoo during a nice chilly day is fun! I came along with my sister's school field trip, so we did have to wait a bit. But that's understandable. The string ray bay was absolutely worth it! The people there with red hair, and another person were very nice to my family and I! Feeding the stingrays is so nice. And they make sure you know how to feed them. Always be prepared to pack up snacks, and water! And always please make sure to pick up your trash!
