A very nice Zoo on the move! This zoo had a very humble beginning and has come such a very long way and so many plans are in the works for expansions.

It would probably be easier to make this part of the entry fee. Most of the displays were open although some of the animals were not visible, which was disappointing. The elephants, giraffes, and gorillas were active. Most of the exhibits are outside and there weren't crowds so safety was not a concern. There's quite a bit of construction taking place. It appears that several new exhibits are being added.…
