This park is not real big but has plenty to offer. I have been to numerous zoos (even San Diego Zoo) and parks and I have never been able to see a tiger or lion or any big cat for that matter up close and awake. They had a lion, tiger, black leopard, black jaguar, and white tiger. All of these were awake and within five feet of me. They had giraffes, wolves, bears, lammas, pigs, camels, snames, porcupines, alligators, emus, wallabys, meer cats, pony, jackal, owls, hawks, skunks, spiders, frogs, and much more. The gift shop was also very affordable.

This is a private zoo that is kind of out in the middle of nowhere but worth the drive. It is really nicely done and the animals look very well cared for. You walk in and pay admission in the gift shop where they give you a map and off you go. There is a schedule of shows/activities and times to plan your day. You should probably plan at least a half day for this place. Lunch is limited but they had cheap food like hot dogs and big soft pretzels. You could also bring a picnic and eat in the shaded picnic area by the snack hut.
