Nice place
This is a smaller zoo than Chicago but it was really nice. The Rhino looks to be in great shape and was running around. The giraffe pen was awesome. And the lion looked to be in peak shape. It’s not big and doesn’t take that long but I loved it.

Nice little zoo
We stopped here on our spring break trip as a place to stretch our legs. It is a small zoo and unfortunately due to COVID-19 some of the buildings we would liked to have seen were closed. Overall it was a nice road trip break.
