Where's the zoo keeper?! A monkey escaped!
Yup. He sure did but the lil' guy was just chillin' and so were we. This small zoo is a bit awkward at first. Kinda feels like you're walking around someone's large backyard who happens to collect a bunch of animals. But you get used to it.
Unlike the larger zoos, I didn't have to deal with parking or herds of people. It was just me, 5 other people and the animals. They actually have a pretty nice collection of rare animals like the albino wallaby and crocodile. Lots of little monkeys.
My favorite part is when you get to go inside the bird enclosure and feed the parrots apples. Buckets of clean apple chunks are provided for you at no cost and all you have to do is hold a piece on your hand and the birds will come over and eat them off your hand. They are gentle and very friendly.
I also like that you can get a boat tour and take the sky lift for less than $5 each. Very affordable. The ticket price may be a bit more expensive but I had a buy one get one free coupon which was helpful. So if you're ever headed out to BFE or wouldn't mind making the drive, its definitely worth it.
