My kids absolutely loved getting to look at all the animals. It was such a highlight for my four year old to see an axolotl in real life. She jumped up and down.

Had my daughter's 5th birthday party here and it was so great! The party area was larger and nicer than expected, and the educator Steph was just incredible!

Our tour guide was so enthusiastic in answering our questions, introducing us to the animals, and letting us hold them.
