Great zoo, our 3 year old loves it! The train is fun as well, though has been out of order recently. Just got an Asiatic Black Bear! Great deal to join as a family. The staff are great and the"keeper chats" are informative and a good way to learn about the animals and the logistics of running a zoo. The zoo is a wonderful place for families in the Jackson area.

Nice little zoo.  A real hidden gem hidden in Jackson.  Reasonably priced and the enclosures are nice.  You can get reasonably close to the animals and take excellent pictures.  I really liked this little zoo and I'm glad I visited.

This zoo was a wonderful experience. I felt pretty uncomfortable turning off the interstate and driving through the absolute ghetto to get there, but once we got to the zoo itself I felt safe and welcomed. The personal were all warm and professional, from the gate attendants, to animal workers, to the maintenance staff. The animal exhibits seemed much closer than at other zoos, and very visitor friendly. I also found the place fairly well maintained and clean, even the restrooms. No complaints about this visit at all.

Could be a nice zoo if additional funds were invested in facilities. Animals seem to be well cared for; however, they could use an elephant, lion, and clean the repitile area where you can see exhibits.
