This is a great zoo. The setting is along the river, with many trees and serene spots. It is not HUGE, but big enough to entertain for a few hours. Great for smaller children-keeps them interested but isn't so big that they are disinterested by the time you're done. Our favorites are Tal, the tigers, the otters and the monkeys. Don't forget to go across from the zoo and ride the restored carousel. It's beautiful!
Ruth is a passionate instructor and delivers a high vibe experience to her students. I really enjoyed the group vocal coaching sessions and will be doing more in the future.
