超棒的野生動物園,不想走了

環境很棒的野生動物園區,大人小孩都適合,員工親切、動物挺多元的,而且幾乎都很活潑看得出來照顧的不錯,剛好到餵食時間也可以免費體驗餵食,非常有趣~整個園區慢慢走大概可以待半天,趕行程的也至少兩個小時玩得比較盡興,推薦!We can see all the animals are in good condition. It's a good spot for either adults or children. Friendly staff, happy animals, great experience!

很容易親近動物的好地方

這是一座有著半開放式圍籬的動物園,鳥兒、小袋鼠自在悠遊,是動物的樂園而我們遊客只是暫時參與其中,可以和動物們近距離接觸的感覺很好,孩子們非常開心!
