We went to a wedding there. The people there were very nice and accommodating. We were able to see some of the zoo too. We hope to go back again to tour the whole zoo.

We LOVE the zoo, especially the penguin exhibit. It’s so peaceful to just sit and watch them swim around! The new Jr. Vet Clinic is really cool, too! It’s inside so it was nice to get a break from the heat for a few minutes while the kids explored all the fun vet toys. If you’re going to go more than once in a year, you should get a membership. It’s definitely worth the price!

My company had a managers meeting at the zoo's large conference room. Tables were setup with white table clothes and we had a make your own lunch buffet during our meeting. At the end of our meeting a zookeeper introduced us to Muppet the porcupine. Very cool 😎. After the meeting we all got tickets to enter the zoo and walk around and see the exhibits. It was a fun and beautiful walk around to see all the different animals.
