A lovely zoo, the pandas are the best. We stroked the animals and took extra merry-go-rounds and trains. These were especially interesting for ten years old like us, who thought she was a bit too old for the "children's playthings", but smiled all the way. The zoo is a bit smaller than the Baton Rouge Zoo, which is smaller than the Columbia and Ohio Zoo, but it is suitable for family fun activities. It takes about five hours to complete the tour. Of course, it's cool to get free tickets from your local library.
