The coolest part of the Secret Garden was seeing the dolphins from under water. I was mesmerized watching this one dolphin circle round and round in the same pattern, passing by the window each time. It looked like it was "sleep-swimming". Pretty sweet!
The beef I have with the Secret Garden is the price--$15??? For this?? It's a *tiny* zoo with a couple of dolphin pools and a handful of cages for white tigers, leopards and alpacas. I'd pay $5, but for $15, I was expecting much more.
I went in the early afternoon and the animals were just lying there sleeping. It was pretty boring. I wouldn't come again, but I'm glad I at least got to see a dolphin up close from under water. If you do go, I'd go earlier so that the cats are more active.
