“Many animals to visit - A great place to see animals in their natural habitat. We had a guide to show us the park and explain about the individual animals. Unfortunately, we visited when it was 25 degrees, so most of the animals were hiding. I especially enjoyed the many different varieties of owls, especially the snow owls. There is a cafe, toilets, and gift shop available.” - Reviewed on 2019-09-03
