We all had a wonderful time! My three year old was able to view all the animals with little assistance. My 10 year old saw animals that we well maintained and appeared to be interacting with the environment. Not a single animal swayed or seem sluggish. Some parts of the zoo are old . But clean. There were employees all around talking about the animals and educating all of us. The variety of animals was excitingl We are looking forward to our next visit.
