Our Zoo and Aquarium Expert Says:
Wallaroo Station is an interactive area designed especially for families. Among the animals you'll see in this Australian adventure are kookaburra, goats, wallabies, and kangaroos. There's also a water-play area called "The Billabong," where the little ones can also pet goats and 'roos, and ride a pony. The Asian Domain provides an up-close view of many rare and endangered animals. Enjoy the sloth bears at play and watch the clouded leopard prowl. Did we mention the 3,000-pound manatees and the komodo dragons? You can see them too, at this charming 24- acre zoo lined with bubbling brooks, and lush vegetation. Jeep rides are also available.
