A lot of old exhibits have been refreshed and they have added new ones. The signage and graphics and educational materials are all bright and fresh (and educational!). The animals seem to be happy and well kept. The staff we talked to were enthusiastic and clearly enjoyed what they were doing. This is a fun little zoo with a nice collection of animals. I was blown away by the giraffe exhibit. There is a little flock of flamingos that I could just stand and watch for hours, and the prairie dog exhibit is too cute for words. Go and see for yourself. Be aware they are not open on Mondays. This has caught me a number of times on Monday holidays (Labor Day, Memorial Day, etc.) when I had a day off work and was looking for something to do. Sorry, no zoo today! They are open every other day of the week. The zoo is open from 10-4 and this is plenty of time to see everything. There is food and a splash pad and a carousel and a train to ride. This is all fun, but for me a zoo is all about the animals. This little zoo does not disappoint.

She sent a SIDE profile pic, of his ONE blue eye and said he had blue EYES. PLURAL. Never got a picture of him face on. Upon arrival we were shocked to see he only had ONE blue eye and the other BROWN. We drove all the way from Texas!!! After looking back at the pictures she sent us, it's clear it was intentional the way she placed him in the photos. Love my boy dogs but will never buy from her again. Kelly, They are BEAUTIFUL dogs, I'll give you that. But beyond that...a little shady and never sat right with me after all these years.

This is one of my favorite places in the world…read more I have been to the Global Wildlife Center lots of times and it is consistently awesome. The animals are well taken care of and the staff is always fun and knowledgeable. Our tour guide (I think her name was Sonora?) was very nice and went out of her way to make sure we got to spend time with all of the animals we wanted to see. Couple of tips. First off, spring for the private or semi-private tour. You have more freedoms to roam around the park and it's definitely worth the extra cost. Second, no matter how much animal food you get, you will wish you had more. The highlight of the tour is feeding the animals and you will not want to disappoint them! Third, they have added some new attractions in the last few years that look awesome but we didn't get a chance to do them. There's a kangaroo walkabout and a capybara experience, both looked really cool. Finally, they are offering a "painting" by the animals. You add food coloring to a canvas and the animals "paint" with their mouths while they eat. It was absolutely worth it!

You have to book online and choose a time slot that was still available. We chose an early time slot to make sure they both got their naps in. We arrived and you can tell they made a ton of updates since we were last here. We checked in and was recommended to order the sack of food and so glad we did! We had 4 adults and we went through the sack pretty fast! Cody was our tour guide and he was extremely nice and very knowledgeable! I highly recommend asking for him if you're doing a private tour. To say we had an amazing time would be an understatement. Feeding and seeing giraffes, bison, deer, cows, zebras, kangaroos, peacocks, llamas and so many more was such an axing experience. We can't wait to go back and do it all again!

When we got there, there was plenty of parking and very easy to find (thanks to signs along the way). Everything was organized from the get go. Several other schools were there, but they had plenty of workers to keep things running smoothly. I wanted to share their mission statement I found on the website because I agree they are doing this: "Mission Statement To provide an educational, "hands on" learning adventure for families and organizations of all ages. To spread the love of the land and animals to all our guests both big and small, and instill the importance of keeping the American Agricultural values alive. To provide a professional, clean environment with emphasis on safety and dignity for both our guests and our animals." Liuzza was definitely hands on and educational. I especially loved all the fun facts signs around, and in general the setup was simple with chalkboard and burlap but so cute and creative. Definitely knew we were at a farm, but it was just more cute than rough and rigid. The animals seemed happy, the strawberries were delicious and plentiful for the picking! I loved the bus tour and mule-drawn trailer ride but could have honestly loved if they had told us more about the land and the history. Such a beautiful and well kept up place though! I was so surprised to see that they do weddings here! A beautiful outdoor area was set up for a wedding and there's the most precious, little chapel! Definitely a romantic setting for a wedding!! I would just love to be a guest for one here! I hope to be able to return on the open to the public days or even a special occasion like their Easter egg hunt. We were there for probably only 3 hours but definitely could have stayed longer. We fed goats, saw a zebra eating among all the horses, saw cows, an alpaca, a sheep, geese, but we managed to miss the pigs and bunnies. Must go back for those! The kids went crazy over the awesome slide built into a hill and the big jumpy thing (don't know what those are called lol). We definitely must return and so should you!!

They also host other events like- a berry bash, summer camp, farmer trade day, pancakes and pjs, and ties and tiaras. I visited for Halloween in 2018 when my son was about 10 months old and had a great day! They had a pumpkin patch, face painting, pumpkin carving, a costume contest, a corn maze, a petting zoo, a jumping area for the older kids, and so much more to see! Then staff were friendly and there was plenty of parking. They also have an elegant space for weddings/receptions. It is truly an enjoyable experience for the entire family.
