My family and I went while bringing along some of my younger cousins and they loved it! From the kangaroos to the buffalos, they loved it all! They also really loved getting to pick out a stuffed animal at the gift shop!

What a beautiful park on the river! A river boat was in dock and made a nice front for the sunset pictures. The grass amphitheater looked like a great venue for a concert. It also looked like they had a kids splash fountain (it was shut off). The park felt like a safe place place for an evening stroll.
