The zoo was one of the most beautiful zoos that I have visited. The animals seem to be thriving in there habitats. The staff was very knowledgable and caring of the animals. Beautiful mature trees and plants added to the charm of the zoo. The children in our group loved water area and the train ride was enjoyed by all ages in our group.
