4 years agoI enjoy the small trail in the swamp garden, it’s very relaxing being surrounded by so much greenery. The petting zoo animals are nice and enjoy seeing you as much as you enjoy seeing them.

6 years agoGreat little place to sit out and picnic or relax for moment. Kids enjoy the animals in the barnyard zoo. The upgrades that have been done there are really nice and the displays of cajun and antebellum culture gives the place atmosphere.

3 years agoCheap visit for adults or kids alike. Animals are all extremely friendly and gentle for the most part. Would have liked to have seen the smaller contained animals in cleaner habitats!
