My wife and I took my sister-in-law who was visiting from Korea to Galena. We decided cross the Mississippi and to go to Dubuque. We took a wonderful horse drawn carriage historic tour. We later went to the Casino for awhile and then to watch the greyhound races. It was the first time we had ever been to see greyhound racing. I'm from Chicago so I've seen the various types of horse races. However, I was extremely surprised to find it SO EXCITING !!! We wagered on just about every race, and win or lose we were totally entertained. BTW: We all left winners ! WE WILL BE RETURNING OFTEN AND WILL BRING FRIENDS !!!!!!!!!

We wanted to add a little something to do for our kids after our field of dreams visit. I read the reviews and yes, this is not a zoo, I would call it a park. But a wonderful park! My kids loved it. No animals out to pet, but we saw cows, ducks, goats, and chickens. The enclosures needed tending too. Worth a visit for the park and scenery!
