点评:Fantastic zoo. If you are within 2 hours of here, make the drive - you will be glad you did.
It is a smaller zoo i.e. much smaller than big city zoos like the Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita or the Detroit Zoo. As a result though, for many of the exhibits, you can get fairly close to the animals. And it is clear they do a good job enriching the animals' lives and caring for them. I would say the most notable exception is the bear habitat - much too small for those two giants.
Kids enjoyed walking into the tortoise town and being able to "pet" the turtles. The highlight was seeing the zookeepers do enrichment/training and a check-up on Tal the orangutan, during which he blew a musical instrument! Other animals we enjoyed seeing - cougar, rhino, zebras, river otters (very active), cheetahs, tigers, lemurs, gibbons, snow leopards, eagles, alligator, and an animal we had never heard of - fossa. And of course, the farm animals were a hit.
翻译:很棒的动物园。如果你距离这里不到两小时车程,不妨开车过去——你一定会后悔的。
这是一个规模较小的动物园,比威奇托的塞奇威克县动物园或底特律动物园等大型城市动物园小得多。因此,在很多展区,你都可以近距离接触动物。而且很明显,他们在丰富动物生活和照顾动物方面做得很好。我想说最显著的例外是熊的栖息地——对于这两只巨型熊来说,它太小了。
孩子们喜欢走进乌龟镇,抚摸乌龟。最精彩的是看到动物园管理员进行丰富的活动/训练,以及对猩猩塔尔进行体检,期间它吹奏了一件乐器!我们还喜欢看其他动物——美洲狮、犀牛、斑马、水獭(非常活跃)、猎豹、老虎、狐猴、长臂猿、雪豹、鹰、短吻鳄,以及一种我们从未听说过的动物——马蹄鳄。当然,农场动物也非常受欢迎。
