If I could give zero, I would. They had a zebra in with a just born baby camel, it still had its umbilical cord attached.The mom was doing her best to keep it away from the zebra. Well of course the zebra ends up kicking the newborn. After we called it to their attention they removed the zebra, and gave the baby a fast look over, hopefully it survives it and nothing internal happened. No animal should ever be in with a newborn and its mom! Also it is 86 degrees and most of the animals do not have a shaded area to get out of the sun.
This is a great zoo. For a personally owned zoo that raises all their animals on their own from birth, I think they do a great job taking care of all the animals. Some cages may be small but the animals are happy and the kids love that you can get right up close to all the animals especially the giraffe! The petting zoo is always the best part and they have an amazing playground for the kids. The owners are great and friendly and always come with plenty of quarters because there are tons of goats and a pig to feed. A fantastic zoo that I will definitely keep coming to!
I was pleasantly surprised how many animals were there. You can tell they are loved. The animals seem very affectionate. My son loved the train ride and petting the animals! We love exploring new places!
Just love coming here every single year!! One year we even came home with a new fur baby bunny!! It's just so beautiful there!! I always post my pictures to their facebook page!! My son even got hold and name one of the monkeys that were being hand raised in lobby area. That was so cool!!
Overall, good experience. I almost avoided taking my family to this zoo based on previous feedback on Google Reviews... However, I'm glad we went. The animals looked well fed and seemed mostly happy, the staff was kind, and the zoo was moderately clean (not quite as clean and uniform as other major zoos- but understandable as it is a privately owned zoo). With that being said... I'm not an expert on how much living space these animals need- but the living space did seem a tad bit small for some of them (lions, tigers, and even the giraffe). Other animals seemed to have ample space. In summary, I would highly recommend visiting this zoo... especially if you live in the Appleton, Neenah, Menasha area and have kids. My kids had a blast, the animals were very interactive, and the prices were very reasonable.
