点评:This zoo is very big in terms of area - and amazing given it isn't in a major metro area. (I know some earlier reviewers said there used to be more animals and even more area - but still surprisingly large). Most of the animals have large enclosures. The biggest is an open savannah-type area that has a lot of room with zebras, addaxes, ostriches, and other African animals.
The zoo has 2 major sections separated by a half-mile road where you take a tram (you could walk it - but few people do).
In the main section, there's a small train ride for the kids, an elaborate dinosaur playground, and a ropes and climbing course (that is huge and costs extra). In this section, there are a variety of animals and the major attractions - along with a boardwalk to stay out of muddy areas. There's a boardwalk in some places (where it is prone to mud) and paved paths in other areas. There's a petting area where you can feed goats.
The second section is solely Africa and themed appropriately. You definitely feel like you're away from it all. And... there is an area where you can feed giraffes.
We spent 3 hours to see it all - and got in close to 3 miles of walking.
翻译:这个动物园的面积非常大——考虑到它不在大都市,这真是令人惊叹。(我知道之前有些评论者说这里以前的动物更多,占地面积也更大——但仍然大得惊人)。大多数动物都有很大的围栏。最大的围栏是一个类似大草原的开放式区域,空间宽敞,里面有斑马、旋角羚、鸵鸟和其他非洲动物。
动物园分为两个主要区域,中间有一条半英里长的道路,可以乘坐电车(也可以步行,但很少有人这样做)。
在主区域,有供儿童乘坐的小火车、一个精心设计的恐龙游乐场,以及一个绳索攀爬课程(规模很大,需额外付费)。在这个区域,有各种各样的动物和主要景点,以及一条木板路,可以避免泥泞区域。有些地方(容易泥泞的地方)有木板路,其他区域则有铺砌的小路。动物园里有一个宠物区,可以喂山羊。
第二部分完全是非洲主题,而且主题恰到好处。你绝对会感觉仿佛置身于世外桃源。而且……还有一个可以喂长颈鹿的区域。
我们花了三个小时才看完,走了将近三英里。
