The animals are so well taken care of and loved. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience, and we are so glad to have stayed there. Special shout out to Allen the Chef who made some of the most delicious meals I have had and Anne and Jackie who were so knowledgeable about otters and kangaroos. We also loved Dundee (their baby kangaroo.)

The place was clean and just the right size for my wife and I. Being city folks you forget how dark it is out in the country at nights. It was nice. We signed up for these adventures to make the weekend even more fun: 1. Feed baby kangaroo(Bodhi). This was about a 30 minute session where we got to feed him a bottle and kibble. It really was an amazing experience. 2. Bucket of food and self guided feeding of animals. We walked the property and hid to feed so many animals. All of the animals were friendly toward people. They were all very good motivated. We encountered a giraffe, donkeys, zebras, horses, cows, pigs, dwarf steers, camels, emu, deer, buffalo and more. The animals were often trying to bully their way to the front of the line. The cow Oreo who has not skipped a meal was always front of the line. 3. Afternoon safari ride in ATV. This was a fun ride around the property. Did not see any new animals but had a great time. The cows out at pasture were thrilled to be fed. 4. Giraffe encounter and meal. This was a little expensive but I would spend it again. The giraffes were super friendly and personable. We wanted to take them home because they were so much fun. The guide, experience and never felt rushed made this worth it. Our guide was top notch. I think her name was Jackie but could be wrong.

In my opinion, there could have been more ride operators. Even though some of the rides were running, we had to wait for operators to run another ride, then switch to the one my kid wanted to ride. The train was cute. It smelled like gas exhaust the whole way, but it has a nice big track, and they take them around twice. The putt putt could have used a bit of shade on the yellow course, but it was nice that there were 3 courses. Too bad everyone wanted to play the shady course, so we all had to wait for big parties to finish between holes. This park could use some updating but it's great for small children.

We decided to gift my 11 year old a membership at ZGG for her February 2021 birthday. She has been…read morea member of Cheer and went to state championships 2 years ago, and has 2 years of previous Cheer experience. Unbeknown to us, she was placed with the toddler class on three occasions, even after calling and explaining the mix up and promising to get her in the correct group, which never happened. She was humiliated and was told she did not have the "skill set" to practice with her age group. The front desk manager reprimanded my husband for calling and having a question about placing her in an age appropriate class during busy hours. But since no one answers the phone during closed hours, how would you ask a question or contact them? We drove from China Spring to Robinson for this class, so over Spring Break when we arrived to find no class and no texts, emails, calls, or any communication from the staff. They were quick however to let us know that there would be no pro rating because it was a short month from Ice storms and spring break. Again, it's no one's fault the weather was terrible and mix ups happen, but when you treat a new family so badly and then leave a little girl crying on 3 different occasions and feel no remorse or have no apology for wasting someone's time and money, that's awful. Awful management, no communication, complete waste of time and money. I do not have the front desk manager's name , but you should be able to pick her out from her unprofessional, rude, work ethic and the "been in a bar all night voice."

My son has been on the competitive team at Zero Gravity for two years and it has been a fantastic…read moreexperience for our whole family. There is just the right balance of seriousness and fun at ZGGA -- my son has learned to work hard and to push through fatigue and pain but he also gets to be a kid and have a good time. When we go to meets, some of the kids from other Texas teams look like automatons and you can tell that they are afraid of their coaches. In contrast, the Zero Gravity boys are laughing and are clearly participating out of love for the sport. The automatons usually clean up and win all the medals, but I would rather have a child with a smile on his face than a shelf full of trophies. A very serious injury at another gym in town about a year ago really brought home the fact that gymnastics is a potentially dangerous sport. I really appreciate the fact that ZGGA adheres to the strictest safety standards with regard to equipment, staff training, and supervision. Highly recommended.

Short version: Monica is a liar. They charge for every one unless they are 2 weeks old then they…read more"might not". The "manager " can't contact any other managers. You might get stabbed by rusty nails. Long version: We ( my mother, my 2 year old, my 3 month old and I) visited almost 3 weeks ago. The "manager" Monica (short lady , red hair ) charged me for my 3 month old. When I questioned why I was paying for him to enter when he can't play , she asked how old he was. I clarified his age and she reiterated that they charge for babies too because they have an area for them. In that area was a monster truck climbing statue and some climbing blocks. Mind you he can't even sit up on his own let alone climb or crawl. I went back and asked why his age mattered if they charged further everyone. Monica then said "if they are 2 weeks old then we may not charge". It seemed as though she was making up lies as she went. She couldn't give me a receipt. She says she didn't have the contact to any manager. Then she says she was a manager. Just a bunch of bs. My mother stabbed herself on some type of nail or dining in the "newborn place area" . It was just horrific. We said that we'd be contacting the BBB and calling back to shush to an actual manager, as well as contacting someone for the safety concerns. Maybe 20 minutes later she called my phone saying "we heard about the complaint and are issuing a refund " I knew it was her trying to save her job with a hush refund because we hadn't filed a complaint yet. Don't go here
