It is a very small zoo, and they do allow the kids to feed them, pet them and chase some of them :) They do have warnings that they are animals and they do have the potential to bite, but we have never encountered anything but love from all of the animals.<br /><br />We do have a larger zoo in Toronto, but I am a little torn about it. I really hate to see the animals in a place where they shouldn't be. You know, like elephants and tigers in Canada, that is just not natural. I struggle with it and am not sure we will visit it.Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476209107377395745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-58391051101984665442012-03-27T22:47:55.628-04:002012-03-27T22:47:55.628-04:00It was a ton of fun.

We actually picked up a few feathers as well, they sell them for $1 each.
