We held my daughter's 10th birthday there and it was a BLAST! The park was super easy to work with and made it a special day for my daughter and her friends. We especially thank Sean and Brandon for all of their help during the day! One thing to note, I don't think the website does a good job communicating this, but if you book the birthday party, the hayride truck is too tall to feed the pets from, so we went on it first with the guide and he told us all about the animals, but then we went a second time in our personal cars to be able to feed all of the animals. The kids had so much fun!!

We had so much fun and laughed harder than we have in a very long time. The animals are so friendly and fun. The drive through Safari is a must!

My family is crazy about animals and had the absolute best time driving through the safari making friends with llamas, exotic deer, watusi and even a bison. Be ready for some really close encounters! (Don't worry-they're all gentle.)The on-foot portion of the zoo was just as much fun. Among our favorites to hang out and watch were the lemurs, capuchin monkeys, and squirrel monkeys. While not a large zoo, we found that it offered plenty to see and do. There are opportunities to hand-feed farm animals, a large lake to walk around and spot turtles and waterfowl, and even an axolotl inside the gift shop area. All in all, it's a lovely place to spend an afternoon and we look forward to returning.

We had the best time! While the zoo was small, they have a variety of different animals including capybara, cheetahs, kangaroos and lemurs. Plus, they are certified by the Zoological Association of America and American Humane. Animals seemed well cared for. The drive-through Safari is also a lot of fun. You can hand feed animals as you go through the Safari.

We had a great experience. The park was easily walkable. The kids had such a great time. Highly recommend the capybara, sloth and kangaroo encounter experiences.
