Reviews
The last remaining free zoo in the country. Now since its located in the Lincon Park its not as big as most zoos can be, Dont let that fool you, it is still a world class zoo filled with interesting houses, and fitting enclosures. They are working every year to update buildings and enclsures that dont suit the animals best, so they are always improving themselves.
