PERSONAL THOUGHTS
★★★★
At first this zoo didn't seem too big, but in the end I found myself with just enough time to see every animal. In total I needed about 4 hours to see the whole zoo. They most definitely have a great variety of animals, it's just too bad they don't have too many of one species. A good amount of animals tend to look a bit lonely because of that. That aside I enjoyed myself very much. Try to catch some animals at feeding time, it's a lot of fund to watch.
