    Such a great birthday experience. All the kids had an opportunity to pet: 1) Box turtle 2) Bearded Dragon lizard 3) Corn Snake There were other choices, these are the ones we picked. The staff were great, very knowledgeable & helpful with the kids. All around great, we would do it again for sure!
  • By Nora Fleenor
    It was somewhat smaller than I had expected. There was a lot of interactive exhibits. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Kids would definitely enjoy it. Lots to learn and something for everyone to enjoy.
