    Chimps get pretty wild and crazy around lunch feed time. Playground is good picnic spot. Bring your own snacks, concessions are nothing to Woot about.

    Check out the 6-acre Pachyderm Forest elephant habitat to see these amazingly strong animals. Did you know they can lift as much as 130 humans?

    Rhino is called Rhonda and if you call her name you can see her ears twitch.

    Today was the fundraiser. Therefore no vendors,food place closed, and guess what? There was 3 elephants and a hippo. Pretty sad now that a fundraiser is happening do we actually get to see the animals

    Why isn't there any shade at the zoo? On sunny, hot days, walking around on the hot concrete is brutal!

    Worst zoo experience I ever had. Most of the exhibits were closed. Other exhibits were not laid out in a manner to where you could see the animals (I.e. tall grass and inclines)

    Try and get to the Zoo in the morning when they open. The animals are not very active in the afternoon when it warms up.
