We visited the zoo yesterday and were very fortunate to see animals playing, eating and enjoying their environment. The elephants, bears, tiger with her 3 month old cubs, birds, panda, flamingos, and all the animals made the afternoon observing and reading the posted information about them, definitely a wonderful and educational experience. If you live in the area, visiting or just passing through, stop and visit the Zoo!

Carrier Dome

Reviewed By lmk1126

Even during major construction, the SU football game at the Dome was wonderful. We knew not to try to park anywhere near it so we took an Uber and walked the rest of the way. It was a beautiful sunny day so the stroll was pleasant. The place is amazing. There are food, beverage stand and restrooms near every entrance level. We did leave early to beat the crowds exiting and also to get great seats down the street at Faegan's.
