took our 2 yr old grandson to the little zoo there..he loved it so close to the well kept animals..very clean and well taken care of! Also has a nice restaurant(reasonable and good food) Ice cream was great! Nice gift shop and bulk food store,minature golf and woodworking store.
We love going there every year at least once. The zoo has some very cute and interesting animals and you can feed some of them. We love getting home made stuff from the store there. The ice cream place has great ice cream too! There are two mini golf courses that we never played but look fun and I'm sure we'll play at some point. :) The kids love it!
My kids love this place, they can pet and feed some of the animals, food is sold there to feed them (the animals, not the kids ;-) ) There's a pretty big variety for such a small place. The older ones like reading the information about the animals, the little ones just like to touch and feed.
Clearly a well run place. The animals seem to be treated well !! Nice gift shops and great ice cream stand too
We eat here every year after a family trip to enjoy the Cook Forest area. Meals are always tasty and the staff is efficient and friendly. Nothing fancy or exceptional - just reasonable priced homestyle meals. Nice salad bar and fair portions. Lots to do after the meal as well - ice cream, shopping, mini golf, etc. petting zoo gets more expensive each year - it used to be free.
Animal zoo good for kids, food not bad at all mini golf and driving range. General store has some unique stuff., Ice cream is good.
This place is awsome, if you make it to the area of cooks forest. make the trip to see.
Food was good at a fair price but really cant get into seeing these poor animals (bears, cougars, wolves) pacing frantically in their "jails" just for human amusement. Now I dont know if these were "rescues" from injury, etc......but this is not my idea of a fun day out with the kids. Actually dont know if this is even open anymore.
Very close to Campers Paradise where we stayed. We visit this place everytime we stay at CP. Love watching the little goats. The meals have always been great!
They have added so many things to this property since it opened that it has become a local favorite for many reasons. The food, the shopping, the mini-golf and the live animals are all part of the experience.
