| - Let's start with price - too high! Now let's talk everything else. The bathrooms were actually quite clean for a zoo and the layout was interesting. In between each large exhibit there were enough birds to look at to occupy your eyes. The transitions were great. We took a ton of pictures and everything you normally see at a zoo is here - except you can generally get pretty close to everything.
There is a train ride, sky ride and boat ride that each show you various sections of this zoo, but our party of four took off on foot and covered the same basic area for free - I mean after the initial fee to get into the park.
The gift shop was moderately priced - accepts credit cards. The ability to touch urchins, star fish, lobsters, turtle, tortoises, sting rays and a couple ducks were all highlights and worth memory slots in my brain.
There is plenty of free parking, and things to do for children - we didn't have our grandson, but we are sure he'd like the play area and petting zoo part!
There could be more shows, but at least the penguins were being fed during our visit and the baby white tiger was awesome. There were plenty of signs that told you more about the animals but PLEASE don't pick the creatures up - touching is ok, but not picking them up!
The staff was excellent! The place overall was worthy of 4 stars.
