Apr 8, 2019If you're military you can get in super cheap but beware it's pretty small and try to go during the summer. Everything we saw was sleeping or cold.
3/5 - Okay

Mar 30, 2019The zoo was small not even as big as the zoo in Nashville,but they do have the animals that the Nashville zoo don’t have..parking is the worst,we have to park on the street and walk for 10 minutes to get to the zoo...
4/5 - Good

Mar 19, 2019This is a small zoo but we saw some wonderful animal behavior there. We saw their crane do a mating dance. It was fantastic. The female didnt seem too impressed. Also, the chimps were grooming each other in a very elaborate manner. The zoo is easily doable in two hours and we found it charming despite its somewhat dinkiness.
