Over my 50 years, I've seen the Zoo go through lots of changes. When I was a kid, the hay day was amazing. Lots of animals and the train that would give rides along with playground equipment that didn't have warning signs .... The best. Today the animals seem fine but the grounds could use more love. Overall worth a stroll 👍🐵🐻🐺🐱🦎🦌🦚🐦

Very quiet. Only one young family there. It was hot so the animals were quiet too. This is a quaint hometown zoo. Look at the animals, then go home, learn more about them, then visit again. A nice variety. Staff were friendly and helpful. The landscaping was suffering from the heat but still VERY NICE. There were some very interesting plants I had not seen before. Not interested in animals, the plants were great too! Seniors $2

I came here on a Saturday and it was very enjoyable. There is an entry fee for the zoo but it's very cheap. ($3 for adults) The zoo is kind of small but still nice. The animals seem well taken care of and the walkways are clean. This is a good place to visit for people with children or anyone who likes animals.

We took the grandkids to the zoo. There's not a lot of different animals here. A fox, 2 monkeys, lots of different birds, some chickens, a pig, and some goats. The boys had a great time feeding the goats they got too close, and the goats ate the cup. We walked down to the kiddieland, but it was closed. The internet said it would be open, but nope. Walked on down to the playground that was nice and clean.

Very peaceful nice park with a bunch of gophers and squirrels. Good place to have a picnic and walk your dog. Park gets a lot of attention during the holidays and can get messy, but usually gets cleaned up pretty fast. It takes everyone to keep the public nice.
