This years visit was not the same.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/24/09
Our visit with our Grandson was different than the past, in that parking was raised to $11.00 and the food prices were also higher, much higher. As we are on fixed income, we found that these increases were not well thought-out, with the economy the way it is. Our Zoo membership is much more valuable than we thought and much more reasonable in pricing. We will frequent the Zoo more often.
It has a wide variety of animals (some of which you can feed). We especially loved feeding the goats although they can get a little rough when they are hungry. (head butting and climbing on you). And even though we managed to visit on the hottest day of the month, there was PLENTY of shade which was wonderful!!! my favorite part was seeing the ...

When are the Civil War Living History days?

His favorite part was the goats that he got to feed with a bottle. I would recommend this to anyone. The clydesdales are absolutely beautiful and everyone there is so friendly! Plus it's only $11 to park and it's free to get in!!

Think a collosal, free petting zoo. You can pet pretty much every animal there, at your own risk of course, from Clydesdales - foals to adult to large land tortoises. You can even bottle feed baby goats for $1/bottle.
THINGS OF NOTE: The Clydesdale paddock is attached to the parking lot and is not actually contained within the park itself. ...

timing is everything

Be sure to arrive early in the day, before 10am, as the weekend crowds are large.
Staff is very friendly and prices are very reasonable for food, drink & souvenirs.
Granddaughter loved it - but go in the spring or fall to avoid the heat, and get their early to beat the crowds.
