A zoo thats $12.50 a person? Nice deal for the amount of animals located at the zoo. Compared to the Seattle zoo, this definitely had a wide variety of animals to see. What you can see here are...

I really enjoyed how close I was able to get to these animals, such as the Grizzly bear and White rhino. But I was really sad on how small the enclosures were, compared to the Zoo in Asheboro, NC...
