We enjoyed our time here. Unfortunately the day was a bit chiller so all the animals weren't able to be out. The boys enjoyed the path and bridge over the pond. Their favorite part was the carousel. They got pawpaw to go 3 times. If your wanting a place to visit that isn't expensive and fun for the kids and interesting for the adults this fits the bill.See more..
