★★★★★a month agoAmazing place. The animals appear to be very well cared for, and the entire facility is exceptionally clean. They have plenty of space, which makes the environment feel natural and comfortable for them. While it is a bit expensive, I believe it is worth the price considering the quality of care the animals receive and the overall experience. It's clear that a lot of effort goes into maintaining the facility and ensuring the animals' well-being.

★★★★★5 months agoThis natural setting zoo, focused primarily on the African experience, is amazing and really enjoyable. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who likes animals. Well worth the time spent there. The animal areas were extremely well done, with a very natural set but really good viewing at each opportunity.
