This lovely little zoo is a great place for family fun and is quite reasonably priced. Located on the shores of Lake Michigan, the site has some great views . Penguins, lions, bears, zebras, kangaroos, monkeys, antelope and giraffes are well cared for and displayed. There is a walk in aviary and a petting zoo! Plus two nice play areas and plenty on seating.You can take a train ride and even feed the giraffes? A special brunch with the animals is a real treat. I was very impressed with their Covid safety precautions. This is one of the few places you can take small children during the crisis, even if all visitors must wear masks
