About this spot

This popular zoo lets you observe over 100 species of animals, including lions, tigers, elephants, and giraffes, up close while riding in your own car or a safari bus. Free-roaming animals sometimes approach right up to the vehicle, which is sure to thrill children. There's also a petting area and a corner where you can interact with small animals, offering plenty to enjoy on foot as well. It's a beloved leisure destination that has long been a favorite family outing spot in this region during summer vacation.
