This zoo has huge, lush areas for animals in NATURAL habitats. Animals are surrounded by living and non living elements that allow them to live healthy and happy. You do need to prepare for walking but the walkways are paved and shaded in most areas. There are benches along the way of you need to take a break. While some have mentioned the distance between animal exhibits, there HAS to be space to provide the animals with the most room to roam, and the walks are enjoyable, just wear good shoes and stay hydrated on warmer days. The animals here are very well cared for and the grounds are very well maintained. If you take the time, there are many displays that educate you about the animals lifestyles and efforts that are being made to increase protection and conservation. Though many go to the zoo to see the animals, be sure to take time to appreciate the fantastic plants and trees! The flowers in the Bird Aviary were jaw-dropping beautiful! My son especially loves the KID ZONE and PLAYGROUND areas! The activities that are set up for kids encourage free play and creativity. Some discovery places charge $10-15 for the activities that are INCLUDED in your zoo admission. BONUS: All staff I encounter are friendly and helpful. There are smiles on faces and you can’t beat southern manners. If you have a container, you can get free ice water at any building that has fountain drinks. Also you can take in small snacks and there is a picnic area outside the main area if you would like to bring a cooler lunch. See the website for more details. We REALLY LOVE our experiences here and strongly recommended that everyone should give it a try!

It was great seeing a part of history. Very romantic ???? there is a wonderful little trail, that’s only about an 1/8th of a mile- with a whimsical, curvy bridge you walk over the creek, then it brings you back to the bridge. The creek is a lot of very large rocks to climb and also a little island- so magical. I was disappointed to see that people have vandalized the inside of the bridge with graffiti- there are steps leading into the water, and picnic tables. Right outside of Asheboro. Very nice.

This place is worth a visit for the backdrop alone. Challenging golf course that is mostly about hitting to the right spots on the many tiered greens to have a shot to score well. Even if you don't just enjoy the scenery and your company. Life's too short to get worked up over a game anyway!!
