This is a great place to take the kids. Animals to see, an awesome park to play in and a splash pad. Not too impressed with the animal conditions though in the sense of space I noticed many other complaints about this. Is anyone complaining to authorities to make sure things are strictly monitored?? The big cats and monkeys and bears certainly seem sad 😢. It here seemed more room for the wolves, but felt the same each way. Give them more room at least And fresh water? Watched the staff dump more water into a VERY dirty water basin for the monkeys. This place is making a ton of money so they can afford it Is a great opportunity for little ones but not at the expense of sad animals.

Admission fare is reasonable. Plenty of space in the picnic area which is also near a splash pad and zip line for children. Lots of colourful animals. Although, the conditions/ space for the animals were questionable. There's a lot of space surrounding the area, yet a fair few of them were visibly depressed in being confined to practically a box. They have feed for purchase as well.

We go every year and our family loves it! Tons of stuff for the kids to do, they have added a
new playground which is awesome. Everything is priced fairly. Free parking. Free use of outdoor BBQ's pavilions with electricity. We always bring our own food. Tons of animals to see. With CLEAN areas. Some areas seem small for the animals, however it's a zoo not a safari trip to Africa. Animals seems fine to me no open sores or cuts. No matted fur. Interactive with people who are feeding them. Great way to teach my 2 year old about the different types of animals. Overall wonderful and we'll be back!response / report this review -

Our first experience was WONDERFUL! My 3 year old loved every minute of it. Well worth the drive, very reasonably priced entry and food options. Very personal experience with the animals. The only thing that didn't sit well with me was that people were bringing their OWN food to feed the animals. I saw families throwing sugary foods to the monkeys who of course gave the family quite the active display for more. Not cool - especially when you can purchase food to feed the animals at the entrance.

Kids love it. Great for a day trip..includes zoo and play park with mini zip line. There is also a splash pad for the kids. Light food, ice cream etc at reasonable prices. Admittance to the zoo is very reasonable. Free parking. Visited in a hot day and felt bad that some of the animals didn't have water. That was a concern to me. Large variety of animals

I hate hearing about how a monkey got out of it's cage and died from another animal and the pain it was in, I don't like seeing animals heads stuck in fenses and I didn't like seeing how small some of the cages were . Specially for the different types of monkeys , lions ,birds and reptiles.

lots of affordable fun for kids of all ages.. unfortunately I won't be going back.. I was appalled by how little space the animals had in their cages :(

I visited this zoo about 11 years ago when I was 15 years old and it was my first time at a zoo. I remember being excited to see the Tigers and lions. I will never forget the overwhelming sadness when I saw the conditions the cats were living in. All the animals. It broke my heart. A LOT of them with no shade, confined spaces, dirty filthy cages, and no water in sight. That day I knew I could never walk into a zoo again and support such a terrible industry. I feel really bad for parents who believe this is a great place for kids. So you want to teach your kids it's okay to put wild animals in small cages to pace back and forth going crazy?! How is that even child friendly is beyond me. It's enough to make me sick.

I don't care what the 'nay' sayers say this is one helluva great place for the kids! There are lots of animals to see for a zoo of its size - you'll be impressed! The playground is big too, and the kids loved the zip line and giant "rope-climbing-structures". They also have a splash pad area to cool off in. All in all, it is a very clean place and well organized. And lunch can be bought or brought, which is nice. Very reasonable price-wise too. We have been multiple times now and enjoy it just as much as the first time we went! Must see spot in SW Ontario!

Reasonable admission. Clean park and play areas. I'm not an expert on the subject but in my opinion, the "zoo" area left me feeling guilty for supporting this business. The larger animals were in areas which are half the size of my backyard. We visited Greenview Aviaries during one of the hottest days of the summer, there was barely any shade and the animals looked miserable. The monkey cages were tiny one of the larger cats paced back and forth in his cage which I'm sure is a sign of anxiety or stress . Our kids lost interest quickly. Most zoos will provide information or facts about the animals. The hand written name plates looked cheap and it was difficult to keep the kids engaged. If your looking for something fun to do with kids I would suggest Storybook Gardens. Bigger splash pad, more attractions for kids and better for your conscience.
