Truly a hidden gem - a small, locals zoo where animals are happy and healthy, lots of places for little kids to run around. Bring water and food, nothing available at the park side from snacks in the
No longer offering free admission, but still worth the visit. The animals are in a beautiful maintained space with plenty of play structures for the kids and they even offer a petting zoo on Saturdays
$34 for our family to enter this charming rainforest zoo that is surprisingly packed with animals, clear signs, and fun facts (2 adults at $12 each, 2 kids at $5 each btw 6-12, no local discount since
