- Beautifully landscaped and constantly adding new animals, its a great outdoor exploration for children and parents. Very inexpensive, family membership is only $55/yr. Petting zoo area, fantastic African section with new baby lions. Easy paths to follow to make sure you hit all the areas. Its never crowded but there is a lot of empty space. Expect to spend 1-3 hours. Good gift shop and eating areas too.
