![]() The animals were generally friendly but we noticed that many seemed to be either old or malnourished. Perhaps this is normal, as the girl at the front desk stated, but then what else would they eat when there is no evidence of food? We bought 2 bags of food and set out for our grand adventure through the park. We observed the monkeys eating their own feces. We couldn't find where they had any food or water. The monkeys were in a cage with essentially nothing to entertain them. While we were there the girls went over to visit the monkeys caged off on one side. Upon arrival you come into the front office/gift shop. From a high level overview the parks seem to be the same. The experience had been so amazing that we decided we wanted to take all 3 of our girls on an adventure at this park. My wife and I had previously taken our youngest to a wildlife park similar to this in Gentry, AR. I asked where the animals came from and did not feel I got a straight answer. Signage about the animals could definitely be improved. The reptile house was interesting, but somewhat lacking. Don't miss the two giraffes in their own enclosure so sweet. To the contrary, we were surprised that the lions were so active. Unlike another reviewer, we did not find the animals lethargic. I imagine that for a place like this in a harsh and diverse climate like this it is an ongoing project to keep everything in tip-top repair. There were a few empty cages in the Walk-About area, but mostly not. Another advantage of the shuttle is that everyone has an opportunity to sit by an open "window" and move from side to side to feed the animals. We drove and stopped at least as much as one would in a car, but the animals are used to the bus coming and that is a plus. In addition to explaining how best to feed each animal type, a guide points out and shares knowledge about the many different animals. The driver over the 5-mile road was good and knowledgeable. We decided to do the shuttle and are glad we did. In theory the ticket allows one to do both, but we didn't have that much time. We debated on driving our own car or going on the shuttle. The experience can get pricy, especially as you will want a lot of feed, especially with youngsters along. That is also where one buys food to feed the animals. We bought our tickets online, but still showed our receipt with the QR code at the ticket counter.
