Wow, was this a surprise!It was a little bit of a hike out to this place, but not too much for a day-trip. A little pricey to get in, but you can bring your own food and eat in the picnic areas. Also, as is the norm, you have to buy the special foods that they have for the animals. Two of which, by the way and in case you were wondering, very strongly resembled Froot Loops and Wasa Light Rye Crispbreads. Which, coincidentally, I have seen in both Hannaford and Price Chopper... but I digress...
But, oh, the animals! There is a really wide variety, not just the usual goats and ducks. Giraffes! Camels! Bears! Monkeys! Deer! They're well kept and fun to feed. There are even several areas that you can actually go into to feed them -- docile but definately eager for the treats -- and other animals are kept safely at arm's reach.
Your admission also includes a ticket for a "Safari" ride, which is a fun, narrated hay-ride-ish trip with animals coming right up for treats.
