2 months agoAnimals were more active than the Houston zoo. My kid had so much fun. Small enough for kids to run around freely, but big space for the animals. Definitely coming back!!!

5 months agoWe went for a school field trip. The kids had a great time. It was a little tricky to get in due to the road construction (but that's not their fault!). It was a cute place even with some yucky weather. There was an employee who was quite rude to the people in front of us in line. I don't believe the "customer is always right" by any means, but in this case they were mistreated and then when the person on duty became involved the employee misconstrued the situation. It set a bad tone for the rest of the day. Overall it was a great trip and we'd go back!

2 months agoWe love Zoosiana! We visited from out of state when I was pregnant with my first and we can’t wait to bring our little ones there. The bird enclosure was a fan favorite for our group - we spent a lot of time laughing and feeding the birds!
