It's fun but... Cages are dirty, not enough green inside the cages. I felt bad for the animals (but this might just be me). Staff are very nice, price is very good. I would actually be okay to pay more. I also liked feeding the animals! I'm not sure but I think this zoo has rescue animals and that's great.

You can pet the rabbits and goats in this mini zoo but the places where the other animals lived were dirty and seems the staffs didn’t take care of them such as cleaning their stables and cages! The entrance fee is quite expensive as well!

The most depressing zoo I have ever visited in my life. Pens are mostly mud and cobblestone with no grass, animals look sick and filthy (damaged feathers, discolored fur, eye infections, a deer was missing a hoof), a tortoise had such a tiny cobblestone enclosure it could barely turn and there was no drinking water.

It was very upsetting to visit this zoo and I don't recommend bringing sensitive children here. One of mine cried when she saw the condition of the animals, particularly the three legged deer (pictured) who is on its own and can do nothing but sit or stand. Some of the Japanese monkeys fought constantly and some, including a baby, had scars and/or fresh bloody wounds. Many of the rabbits have eye infections. It was a really horrendous experience. However, the young staff we talked to were very nice and I hope they can work to make the zoo a better place for the animals. Also, they have signs up to say they are improving some of the enclosures. And I give it two stars instead of one with the hope that the animals came to the zoo injured and that their injuries aren't from lack of care. With the Japanese monkeys who had fresh bloody wounds: maybe this happens in the wild too?

Nice to see animals, but the conditions are dirty and not well maintained. You can feed the animals too.
