Short and sweet for the kids. I came from the Bronx. Enjoyed the drive, wasn't that far and it was worth the ride. The kids enjoyed themselves. We went when there was hardly anyone there. Its not big at all but from the moment you walk in until you leave you are surprised by what you see. Not that big so the wait time to see the animals is short. Price is great. I think it's better than the Bronx Zoo
We stumbled upon this place and decided to stop and the price was very reasonable. We enjoyed it very much. Plenty of up close viewing of the animals and you can feed them.. Do not pay attention to the negative reviews on here. You can't please some people. There are some older animals here also that may not look the best but certainly am glad to see that people are committed to long term care for these beautiful animals.
I expected more. Most of the primates were I'll and mangy. The bear was pretty much domesticated. Pretty disappointed. However, the owners were very nice and helpful with my questions.
Perfect for a sunny or rainy day. The inside has a good amount of enclosures to observe various reptiles including turtles/tortoises, alligators, a gila monster, and many snakes. But even if you're not a huge fan of reptiles, the outside has just as many enclosures for various mammals, such as wallabies, monkeys, a bear, and much more. Food cups/bottles can be purchased for a couple extra bucks so you can feed the animals yourself. Definitely worth it. Also, don't worry about the rain because the outside area has a roof over the walkway so you will not get wet. A gift shop is available too. If you like animals of all kinds, you should definitely stop by here.
This place was very nice. Animals were awesome got to feed a lot of them. Manager was super awesome and kind and had a sense of humor!
The animals have a lot of historic background which was great to learn about while going through the zoo. Will definitely go back!
This place is so cool. We had so much fun all the animals were so cute and well taken care of. Getting to feed the monkeys also bottle feeding the pig and goats was fun. playing peekaboo with the bear while we gave him some snacks was so cute. My kids definitely want to go back.
This was a cute little place. A lot of animals, especially monkeys and snakes. We had a lot of fun petting and feeding the goats and pigs. The lemurs put on a really good show for us. It took about 45 minutes going through to read everything and feed the animals. It's obvious they love the animals given how they talk about them.
I absolutely loved this place. It was an amazing experience, I loved getting to feed all of the different types of animals including pigs! I plan to go back here soon!!!
This place looks deceivingly small, however, there is a lot more to it than meets the eye! I love snakes and reptiles and there are plenty here, including a freakishly large turtle that is easy to miss if you don't look for it closely; There is also an incredibly adorable tiny tamarind monkey. The inside is a bit claustrophobic, but the outdoor area is really cool and there are a lot of animals, including a bear, that was definitely a surprise. This place can be fun for both adults and kids!
Animal cruelty warning!!!! I'm surprised this place is even legal. I understand that this is a small "sanctuary" with a small budget but there are many things they could do to improve the animals living conditions that wouldn't cost any more money. They know that the place looks sloppy so they tell everyone that are "renovating". BUT THEY"VE CLAIMED TO BE RENOVATING FOR 9 YEARS NOW!! The monkeys are kept in tiny 3x3 glass enclosures with nothing in their cage except empty orange juice jugs as their toys. The large animals are kept in small metal enclosures with cement floors only and no bedding in order to force them to stand all day. All the animals pace frantically and look unhealthy. THEY KNOW THE ANIMALS NEED BEDS AND SHELTERS BUT THEY ARE CHOOSING NOT TO PROVIDE THEM IN ORDER TO FORCE THE ANIMALS TO BE MORE VISIBLE TO CUSTOMERS!!!!
Animals do not look too happy. The enclosures were small, especially for the huge snapping turtle in front. He almost took up his whole enclosure :( . Also the staff not the most freindliest. However, my son loved that you could feed the monkeys, lemurs, pig and black bear. The monkeys were very entertaining. They bang on the glass so you will give them more foodlol..Overall nice place to go but not sure if the price is worth it.
This place was a very good small little mom-and-pop animal place. It was perfect for younger children with my daughter is one and she really enjoyed meeting some of the animals. So if you were in the neighborhood for a quick new type experience but small this is a good place especially for children. But it is very small.
