The
place
is
beautiful,
and
the
experience
is
amazing
with
the
smaller
animals
they
have
roaming.
You
then
get
to
see
buffaloes/bison,
deer,
zebras
roaming
around
in
herds
and
relaxing.
It
was
splendid
to
get
to
see
them
in
real
life
and
see
that
they
are
being
taken
care
of
so
well.
*
Spacing
issues:
However,
it
instantly
became
evident
that
not
all
animals
get
the
same
treatment.
Big
animals
are
in
very
small
spaces,
it
was
heartbreaking
to
see
the
majestic
elephants,
hippos,
big
white
lions,
dromedaries,
chimpanzees,
and
hyenas
in
small
spaces.
Two
big
hippos
in
a
smaller
pool,
the
elephants
each
had
a
small
space
where
all
they'd
do
is
walk
around
in
circles.
The
"Zoo"
area
(after
the
safari),
had
animals
boxed
up
too
including
a
cassowary,
smaller
birds
and
goats.
They
are
trying
to
work
towards
preserving
endangered
species
and
I
fully
support
this,
but
I
can't
unsee
the
unequal
treatment
ESPECIALLY
towards
the
species
they
are
"saving".
I
attached
some
images
so
you
can
all
appreciate
the
chimpanzees
(there
were
about
5
total
in
that
semi
circle
of
grass
and
one
threw
a
rock
at
us,
yes
he
missed
by
a
lot
and
there
was
NO
DANGER),
but
I
don't
blame
his
anger)
The
2nd
star
is
only
because
the
"safari"
area
that
have
species
like
white
dear,
buffalo,
and
wild
goats
is
huge
and
great.
But
not
all
animals
get
to
roam
around
freely
and
enjoy
a
bit
of
"freedom".
The
rest
of
the
animals
suffer
all
day
and
they
are
all
pacing,
back
and
forth,
back
and
forth.
Leave
them
in
nature
if
you
will
have
them
in
a
box
until
they
die.

The
GOOD
(mostly
the
beginning
of
the
tour
"Stage
1"):
The
safari
space
and
tour
is
amazing.
There
are
animals
roaming
around,
and
you
can
interact
with
them
such
as
geese,
swans,
capybaras,
Patagonian
maras,
they
sometimes
release
the
giraffes,
wild
goats
that
all
want
you
to
feed
them.
This
was
an
adorable
experience
that
I
will
forever
cherish.
*
Staff
and
information:
The
staff
is
very
friendly
and
informative,
but
the
areas
of
the
zoo
don't
all
have
information
about
the
name
of
the
animal
in
the
tiny
cage.
I'd
like
to
see
the
name
of
the
species
and
what
their
habitat
is,
diet,
mating
information,
etc.
*
Pricing:
There
are
too
many
bad
reviews
for
pricing.
The
price
is
fine
and
accessible,
and
knowing
that
your
entree
fee
is
used
to
maintain
such
a
beautiful
environment
for
animals
and
to
feed
and
care
for
them
should
discourage
people
from
complaining
about
things
being
expensive.
Organizations
that
preserve
wildlife
don't
have
that
much
support
and
we
should
make
that
change
with
at
least
not
complaining
about
entree
fees.
donations
are
welcome
to
help
these
creatures
out.
I
had
high
hopes
for
this
place.
I
am
sure
that
with
more
support
and
donations
they
can
continue
to
improve.
So
I
welcome
you
to
visit
and
have
the
experience
of
your
life
and
share
feedback
like
this
with
them.
