Feeding, observing, getting a really close look and feel of these beautiful, mainly Safari animals. Some were impressively large like the bison, longhorn, buffalo, zebra's, camels with extremely long tongues and large teeth! It was quite pricey, because you get charged per person and not per car. It rang up $79 total for our party of four. I would definitely recommend to bring wipes for your hands, to clean up, and a car wash afterwards because your car will be covered in saliva. This was quite the experience and very well loved!

They have an underwater rope course you can use to navigate from one side to the other. The waters color and clarity come from its origin. It was originally a Limestone Rock Quarry. Spring water has filled it up making this a good dive location. Another feature I found to be very cool for instructors is the large underwater decks. These are part of the course and make a great place to perform dive skills without disturbing the silt on the bottom. My dive site had an easy entry and exit. The depth ranges depending on the amount of rain throughout the year. This is a great place to teach new students, practice your skills, or train as a dive team. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Being this was my first time here they answered all of my questions.

The only thing sad was that the waterfall wasn't going and the water level there was almost nil. However, if you like koi fish, they have some in the pond.

There was water easily available and the grounds were kept clean. They have multiple fenced in areas for your pups and if they can't handle a big puppy crowd, than you can use one of the other fenced in areas for your dog park needs. Both me and my boys really enjoyed the afternoon spent out here. The only thing I would say could be improved is that the poop smell from the trash cans easily seeped out and spread a good distance from the trash can. I LOVED their doggy wash room! Super nice! If only it could fit more than one dog!
