    Entry prices are fair and very affordable. Especially compared to bigger facilities like Audubon. It's a very clean and family friendly zoo. A fantastic splash pad/hangout area for the kids. Good exhibits, and more every time we visit! Animals seem well kept and the staff is super engaging! Will always be a favorite for us!
  • By Courtney Barlow
    This is one of my favorite places in Hattiesburg. Exhibits are neat and animals are well cared for and visitor areas are kept clean. If you get lucky or time your visit right, you can catch one or more of the ambassador animals doing rounds with a keeper to meet visitors and learn a bit about the animal up close.
