We want to make sure that you have all the information you need right at your fingertips.

Red Pandas have been a favorite of mine since I was in grade school. They're incredibly adorable, it is too bad I can't have one as a pet, they look like fluffy stuffed animals. Here is where you can visit some Red Pandas locally!

There are so many things to discover at the zoo, so while there don't forget the amazing opportunity to visit with animals that otherwise you wouldn't be able to see unless you did some globetrotting. Within the 45- acre zoo there is much to see, including creature encounters in global-specific regions within the zoo. Such as visiting Rupert the Rhino in the Asia area along with tigers, and encountering animals native to the African wilds in the African Panorama exhibit. In the Amazonia exhibit, there is an expansive 20,000 square feet in a greenhouse-like building to visit animals that are native to the tropical environment of South America.
