    The best part of this zoo is that most of the animals are very active, not just sleeping all day. We saw giraffes walking around, monkeys swinging, a cougar jumped down from a high rock then let out a roar. The black bear walked back and forth right in front of the glass. The penguins walked and swam. We also got to pet stingrays. We spent about 3 hours and covered pretty much the whole zoo. There is food available for purchase and plenty of picnic tables if you bring your own. Bathrooms were clean. There is also a train ride that runs parallel to the reservoir next door. It takes about 10 minutes and it’s free (we went on twice). Parking is free. See more..

    We took our daughter here since there’s not much to do but it was a bit depressing for me and my boyfriend. The animals cages were so small. Even the baboons were in a very small cage with no branches to sit on just straight wood poles and balls. The big cats cages are way to small for them and the lion looked a bit skinny. The alligator is kept in the water but in a very small cage that is just touching the water. I enjoyed this place as a kid but I won’t be back and I hope these poor animals can be put into a rescue center and they don’t take in any new animals because this is not the way animals should be living. Where’s carol baskin when you need her, even though what she did wasn’t any better. See more..

    I couldn't imagine how there could be nature trails in this area near route 24. They make great use of the space with meandering trails. There are hills and stairs and benches. The house has a small display including an active beehive. Eric was very knowledgeable and helpful. There is no parking lot but plenty of spaces on the street See more..
