| - This zoo is terrific for being free. The only thing that will cost you is a buck a person for the merry go round and the train. Next door is a very nice park for places for picnicking, relaxing, and a fun area for the kids to play.
The zoo has a lot of attractions, and they will vary according to what time of year you go. I have found late Spring and early summer have the most attractions. They have monkeys, giraffes, otters, penguins, lions and tigers and bears, oh my! There are is something for everyone. As a previous reviewer said, you could do it in an hour, but I think that would be pushing it some, especially on hot day.
There are plenty of places to sit and get out of the sun. The only drawback about this place is the parking. Don't expect to to get right up in front. You will more than likely have to park somewhere in the nearby neighborhood and hoof it down the hill. I think this is preferable at times because it can get nuts outside the gates and there is usually several unwatched kids running towards cars.
Overall, a nice place to spend a few hours. Bring a lunch and enjoy.
