Our Zoo and Aquarium Expert Says:
This unique zoo has taken in animals that were either mistreated, abandoned, or illegally imported, and given them a home. It isn't fancy or large, but what it lacks in these qualities, it makes up in intimacy and meaning. Some animals you might see include Babs, a North American black bear, Rowdy, a leopard who was once part of a traveling religious circus, and Ginger, a fox.
Open 10 am to 6 pm. $ (Inexpensive)
