Abby Rizzo Feb 15, 2025
Visited when I had the place practically to myself on Saturday morning. The staff made it so fun by answering my thousands of questions. They also pulled out some really neat animals that I could see up really close. All of the animals are unreleasable due to various reasons. There were a fair number of endangered species too. It doesn’t look too exciting upon entry maybe, but it will thrill you if you stop and ask questions. The owl, unfortunately, passed away. Just a heads up. The staff took it hard. Very sad. Otherwise, it was as described on the website. Worth $5 for me.

Price is good and space is well maintained. The cashier doesn’t know how to work the register and safety protocols for children, parents, handlers and pets are quite unclear.
