Perhaps I entered the Zoo thru the wrong way, but when I got off the bus. I had to walk thru the parking lot to get to the ticket booth. There was no real safe sidewalk.
This was an average size zoo, but with above average perks.
CONS: some enclosures were small, I noticed relative behavior in the polar bears and the Amur Leopard. The indoor gorilla exhibit made me feel a bit sad.
PROS: you can get close to the animals. The cheetahs were only about 5' away. For lunch Jambo Grill is a must...$7 for a cheese burger in a brioche bun. The aquarium is well kept and really informative.
