Ready for safari? This is no ordinary zoo. It lays claim to the largest collection of primates in North America. In addition, there are thousands of additional animals to see, hear and yes, smell throughout nearly 170 acres of discovery. The zoo also features an Australian Adventure and enormous two-acre indoor tropical rainforest. The Australian Adventure is designed for children and has many unique sites, sounds and activities available for its little explorers. And the rainforest captures the mood just right with its towering waterfall entrance to a room that rains every 15 minutes. It comes complete with wildlife, including animals and plants.
