Title: Old Exotic Animal Paradise?
Post by: Hatfield McCoy on May 16, 2008, 10:59:23 AM

I have noticed that has new ownership.  Does anyone know if it is becoming a theme park, or staying the same?

Here's their website, it's now Animal Paradise.

It looks like it's more of the same.  You can drive through in your own car and view the exotic animals (from behind a fence).  They also have a guided tram tour that allows you to feed the animals from your own hand.  They also have a petting zoo and Family Fun Center.  The Family Fun Center has an arcade and go-karts, among other things.  They're open daily from 10-6.

Thanks for the link.  I was hoping it would grow into something unique with new ownership.  The kids love zoos, but the drive through approach doesn't appeal after a long drive to get there (for the kids at least).  They would rather go to a walk through zoo and stretch their legs. 

Thanks again.
