what our visitors say about us!
Such a cute little tropical zoo. My toddler daughter loved it, especially feeding the birds. Was debating to go or not, but very happy we did!! Would definitely recommend.

This is truly a magical place! The up-close experience with the animals is amazing and the plants and gardens are just beautiful! I would highly recommend spending an afternoon in this gem that originally started in 1936!… It is a quaint one-of-a-kind experience, like entering your own little tropical world!

We loved this place! My daughter had so much fun and looking at the different kinds of animals. The nature of the place is soothing and relaxing.
