“Me and my boyfriend had the best experience doing the zookeeper for the day! Our guide Conner couldn’t have been better. He was really informative and happy to be flexible if we wanted to see specific animals. He was also a great photographer for us. Definitely exceeded our expectations. Thank you! :)”

“Fun zoo experience, little ones will love to see all the animal in here one of our favourites were definitely the sea lions and we stayed for feeding time which was very entertaining. Some of the setting for the animals were being improved so we weren’t able to get close to them such as the penguins and the flamingos still plenty to see nonetheless!”
