You can tell by the animals that they are well cared for, and the fact they have a rehab facility for Kansas native species...not just one type of animal...they have a passion for what they do.Just recently they got a new educator that does awesome outreach during birthday parties.Thinking of having my kids volunteer here with me.Get a slushie in the gift shop and take a train ride.Sometimes they do tortoise feedings too.Great FREE!!! place to take your kids but bring some extra cash to make a donation to keep it going.

Excellent layout, friendly staff, plenty hands on for the kids to do. Mostly Native Kansas animals, but some Ive never even heard of, and Ive lived in southern Kansas my entire life. If you bring kids, dont overlook the prairie dog tunnel! Ive paid much more for a lot less at other places.

This is a free zoo that would be an excellent value if they charged. It is very photograph friendly and the animals are managed to be active during open hours. They also have several small animals not normally found in zoos like raccoon, road runners, red fox, and the cacomistle I have never seen before. Great zoo

For a free small town zoo, the gift shops and grounds are excellent! The exhibits are interested and well maintained! Definitely worth the stop!

This gift shop has many unusual items that would make great gifts for the holidays.
