It is a neat display. With a lot more out there than we thought would be. All the exhibits are closed. But the giraffes were still out and the little one was running around. Took us about an hour to walk thru and look at everything. There are some really big displays that pictures don't show. Some of them are moving. Others blow smoke or bubbles. We had a great time and the weather was perfect.
The lights are amazing. It’s the perfect time to go. It’s not too cold or warm. I was impressed by the amount of lights they had out.
We went on Sunday evening and it was not that busy. Great time with the family.

Although I live here with my mother and sisters, I must rave about how amazing it is here. As I buzz around, collecting pollen and nectar from the local fauna, I see the smiles and joy emitted from the humans that roam from exhibit to exhibit. I love this place not only because I call it home, but the humans are friendly, and rarely swat at me or show fear. Well...sometimes the kids do, but if their parents take 30 seconds to educate themselves on bees versus wasps, and share how harmless my sisters and I are, the kids quickly let their fear fade away.
Anyway, this is such an amazing place, and well kept! Staff are friendly and knowledgeable.
-Bee approved!

One of the best in the country! Great place to spend a day with family and/or friends. Would definitely go when the weather is nice so all of the animals are out. If you really take everything in, will take a better part of the day. Always updating the facility and is very well managed. Greay to have this attraction in our hometown... something to be very proud of. Enjoy!
This is an awesome zoo. I have been able to visit this zoo several times in the past 25 years despite the fact I didn't live here. We recently moved here and I look forward to coming more often.
The only complaint I have is the fact I am disabled and paid more for the scooter I needed to get around than my ticket to get in. I couldn't believe it! Why are those who are handicapped being punished to see the zoo. Because of this fact, I won't be able to come often. I can understand a fee, but charging more than an entrance ticket, really? I just don't understand. I even asked if I was a member was the scooter complimentary and was told no. I am very sadden by this.

Beautiful day for the zoo. Recommend going soon as they open, before the heat of the sun is the hottest. We clocked over 10,000 steps and still didn't see everything. Very clean and maintained with such pride.
An out of town visitor, I was able to visit the zoo again for the first time in about ten years. I was very impressed by the new exhibits, especially the Asian Big Cat Trek. The Gorilla Forest was always my favorite exhibit but now it’s even more so as all the trees have matured with the natural canopy offering shade. All of the employees I encountered were very friendly and helpful. I only was able to spend a few hours but easily could have visited all day. There’s a lot of walking but with an adventure this size, nothing wrong with that! I cannot wait until I can visit again, hopefully sooner than another ten years. Baby elephants in the future might make that hard to resist!
In the last few years they've done an excellent job in several areas, making the zoo even more awesome. The tropical building and the whole zoo is much more wheelchair accessible and generally more accessible overall throughout. The exhibits look great (though there's a lot of construction and maintenance right now. We love that there is wheelchair rentals and online tickets to make getting in easier.
I love seeing all the happy elephants now!
