My family and I enjoyed this Zoo very much. The animals are housed in as close to their natural habitat as possible and free to roam without feeling like they are on display. I would definitely recommend a visit.

This zoo is not one of the country's greatest, and if you are visiting for a short-time, I would skip it and go see the sea lions at Pier 49 instead!
