For a smaller city, I think this zoo is really impressive. Parking is free. Admission is pretty cheap and especially a good deal given that you get both a zoo and aquarium. Some of the enclosures could be a little bigger but they're all maintained very well. "The Islands" is the newest part of the zoo and it is really cool, even just the landscaping there is really neat. The aquarium is a nice break from the outside and is a good size. There is food and drink throughout, spaced very well and reasonably priced. The penguins are great (and sometimes you can see them outside in the winter), the giraffes and elephants always seem very active, but hands down the best exhibit in this zoo is the polar bears. They really like to put on a show. Big fan of this place.
