Google 2.6 out of 5
Yelp 2 out of 5
Trip Adviser 3 out of 5

Seem to be far more negative reviews than positive.

Web sites established to talk about animal cruelty and petitions to shut the place down.

Peta named it one of the worst roadside zoos in the country.

Yes, some people seem to love it. Like most things on the web, you have to throw out the extremism's and look at the median.

Over all, I would say avoid it.

Exactly. I never went to it and hate to even drive by it. Poor animals.

I have no doubt the animals there are well cared for. I've been there a few times, it seemed like all the animals were well and as happy as any animal in captivity could be.

By modern standards it's not really ideal though. It's a very 1960's type of place. there just isn't the space available for the animals that we've come to expect from visiting giant government run zoos. I think the people there care deeply for the animals, but society has come to be more caring for the animals need for space.

We were pleasantly surprised how clean and nice it was there, much bigger than it appears. I would recommend it!

We were just there 3 weeks ago. It is a place for animals that, as I understand, can not be out in the wild. A rescue zoo of sorts. I was amazed at how spotless it was, the animals had no dirt on them and were well bushed and socialized. It didn't even smell like a zoo. Lovely landscaping. You can feed the goats and ponies but they do bite, be careful. :-) The animals were all moving about freely and were not cowered in corners. No it's not a big city zoo but it is a nice spot to see a great variety of animals. The capybaras are my favorite!
