Elephants of Asia

Zoo

😠 DO NOT SUPPORT THIS ZOO. They’ve been known for neglecting their animals since the 60’s and even disregarded the health of their elephant Gita until she died without receiving help even though a “caretaker” noticed her distress far in advance. The male elephant Billy has been there since 1989 and sh...

Tom Mankiewicz Conservation Carousel

👍 Short & sweet lol. It was clean & the guy who ran the ride was polite & smiled & interacted with the kids. I know it sounds generic but the whole ride was gravy. The kids loved all of the different characters the rides were.

American Southwestern Railway

Museum

👍👍 American SW Railway? Travel Town? Whatever, doesn’t matter to me, this place is still so cool. It’s hard to describe how large and impressive old steam locomotives are until you’re standing in front of one. If you love trains, you have to visit this place
