My mother came for a visit and I had three different events planned with her. This was by far her favorite one. Samantha was our tour guide. She was very informative with a great personality. You could really tell how she loves the animals and the bond they have with her. She was great with the 6 year old in our group.
We did the private tour when the park was closed and it was easily worth the cost of admission. Go do this tour!
