Admission is way too expensive for this zoo. Plus, be warned, it does not include the rides. Which are sub-par at best, you will pay $6 to ride the 'log ride' that is featured on the brochure...and the food place in the zoo only accepts cash. After being shocked at the admission and then discovering the rides were not included...we entered the zoo. Which is completely dirt, no landscaping to enjoy. The zoo is very old and has the enclosures that made myself, my husband and my kids (ages 10 and 11) feel sorry for the animals. The aquarium tanks are too small for many of the fish (they have probably out grown them.) \n\nThe most disappointing and heart breaking thing was to go into the building where the baby animals are kept. It reeked of urine, each baby animal was in it's own room. There was a black panther in it's own room. Laying on the floor with it's tail in urine. No toys to play with, bed to sleep on. The zoo did have lots of animals, if you like birds you will get to see lots. But they mostly were in their own cage and not in a large aviary to fly around. So sad. It surprises me with all of the animal rights activists this zoo is still up and operating.\n\nThe only redeeming experience was the ray petting tank in the aquarium area. This was amazing. You could actual pet lots of rays and they came up to you.
