6 months agoSeeing a Capybara was honestly so cool, I wasn’t expecting him at all. It’s very small but super cool and worth a look. I heard someone say they were closing soon which makes me sad, get in and visit if you can! It’s free and they had a cool little park for kiddies and an ice cream/drink truck too. The capybara, turtles and kunekune were so cool. Also the bird enclosure was so cool. So many bright beautiful birds.

The zoo part is really exciting too—there are so many animals to see, and the exhibits are interesting and easy to explore. You can learn about different animals and watch them play. There are also fun activities and educational programs that make the visit even more exciting. It’s a great spot for a day out, full of adventure and learning!
