    The Sunset zoo while not very big was a fun little find in the area. The zoo was clean, the animals seemed well taken care of and the staff was friendly. We made it through the whole zoo in a little over an hour however, it is priced very well and was enjoyable!! I would recommend any animal lover stop by and check it out. Good family fun!!

    Fun city zoo. Lots of shade so even in the hot summer days it is comfortable. We loved seeing the leopard and got up close and personal with a peacock.
