Really amazing! Stroller friendly! Hands on learning. great for all ages. The grounds and animals are well cared for. There are learning sessions with live animals. The playground was a favorite for my 6 year old.
Loved this place when I was seven and love it still. It's only gotten better, while keeping a lot of the charming natural interactive pieces that I remember. Even now I had a lot of TIL moments. We went when it was raining so it was pretty quiet, and all of the animal enclosures have covered areas so we didn't even get too wet. Animals looked healthy and calm as well.
This is a place that is really good for family fun. There are animals and birds for kids to see. There are also trails for hiking fun. If you are going to include a hiking trip for your visit with seniors or younger kids, don't choose the Mt. Fayal trail. It's a good trail for adults but not for all... Pick a sunny day to visit... I did have great fun here.....
Fun experience with wild animals and interactive exhibits. The animals are local wild species and fun to see up close and the information on them is presented in an engaging way for children. The walk around the loop can take a few hours depending on how long you spend at each stop but it's an enjoyable time and a great place for families.
