A 14-acre facility, the zoo is home to some of the most unique wildlife in the region and offers educational programs for visitors of all ages. Among the wildlife at the zoo are giraffes, monkeys, giant tortoises and elephants. There is also a Reptile Building, with lizards, frogs, turtles, and snakes.
