imbookinimbookin: A “tranquil oasis”, this Zoo gets our vote as the cutest. I can testify that it is an awesome place for kids, but it doesn’t stop at tots! What sane adult would turn down cocktails in the rainforest?

Zach R.Zach R: Beautiful but small zoo. $12 admission is less than a cocktail in NYC. The sea lion feeding show is excellent!
