The NEW Zoo & Adventure Park is one of only seven Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA)  accredited zoos in the country that does not receive local or regional tax support for the zoo’s annual operating budget.  The miles of trails, picnic areas, trout ponds, and animal exhibits provide fun and enjoyment for the whole family. Guests who ride the Zip Line will stand at the top of the observation tower, just south of the zoo’s main entrance building, and see a good portion of the animal exhibits and lush habitat.
