I love this zoo, as a member family we come every week during the summer. The train and merry-go-round are very reasonable, and my kids love the sand box too. The architectural details they’ve added since I was a kid coming here are so wonderful, I love the attention to detail aesthetically, the pacing of the exhibits, and it seems like we find a new delight with each visit. I usually bring a picnic for us to enjoy, and I noticed today there was additional seating in the shade, which was really thoughtful on such a hot day.

the variety of structures is refreshing whether they be man-made or natural—i particularly appreciated the use of plants and landscaping. i enjoyed walking a path through a serene prairie-like area to another section with a climbing rock, and pink metal ping pong tables (i’ll have to remember paddles and balls for our next visit) and of course i could spend all day in front of the xylophones—those are so fun. open, clean facilities. our preschoolers loved this—highly recommended.
