We went when it was 60 degrees so a lot of the animals weren’t out. The zoo was huge, the playground was great for my 5 year old boys, but wished they took better care of the animal exhibits. The gorilla indoor exhibit was horrible and filled with their poop, but they had a huge space outside. Plastic Old toys and bottles were in the water of some exhibits, it was sad to see.
