We were honestly surprised by the number of unusual animals showcased in this small zoo in Illinois. We’ve been to many zoos, and we saw a number of animals here we’d never seen before.
Unfortunately, there were at least three large sections of the zoo being torn up and renovated while we were there, plus the train was not functioning and was out of service indefinitely. The zoo is a little bit spread out, so we ended up walking a lot of the zoo with nothing to see but renovations. It would be interesting to go back once all of those renovations are completed.
We spent around an hour here, and that’s with looking at everything pretty thoroughly. Overall, still very nice for a small zoo. Recommended, especially after the renovations are complete.
