Provided by SuperpagesThe people in our group ranged from ages 3 to 69, and everyone could easily walk around the wooden platforms and paths around this zoo. I was concerned about the walking because my mother's knee has been giving her problems, but it was very pleasant. We got to feed the giraffes, and the kids had a blast.
