The zoo is in need of some T.L.C. My first impression was that is was very depressing, due to the lack of care. The animals that were in captivation seemed also depressed. The flamingos area smelt so bad that it was not an pleasant experience. The monkeys were cute, however cardboards boxes were thrown in for them to tear up for activities???? The area for small children to enjoy petting the sheeps had feces all over the ground. Animals looked like they had mange and the moose was under vets care!!! He was so sickly and pathetic looking, he definitely will leave a lasting impression on the small children!!!!! I am sorry for sounding so negative as I feel animals need to enjoy the wild. I know in their world only the strongest survive and alot of these creatures would not make it on their own. I just think that going to a zoo should be a happy, learning and memorable experiences, especially for children. The soda and candy machines didn't work and the benches, picnic tables were dirty. I sure their are lack of funds. Maybe some type of volunteer team could be set up and focus on making this zoo enjoyable to go too. Thank you
