Wow. Hippos as agile as seals underwater. Black rhino pacing shyly at the back of its yard. Giraffes that glow in sunlight. Black jaguars with spots only hinted at under daylight… This is an amazing zoo! We wandered throughout most of its acreage before succumbing to exhaustion. We also managed to slide in the aquarium house – jellyfish, sharks, snakes and frogs! We spent almost 5 hours at the zoo and loved every minute.
They have a polar bear enclosure that puts Winnipeg to shame.
The big cat area was great – we saw adorable wild cats as well as lions and tigers. There is a nocturnal animals area where their day is lit for night. Lots of small mammals: bats, aardvarks and mice.
