  • Chrys Grace

Excellent collection of animal specimens and live animals. Since we went when they opened, we watched the animals being fed. And were honored to see a tortoise feeding/walking, after 8 months of hibernation. Apparently, the tortoise hibernates 8 months in a year. Saw Gecko, snakes, toad, chinchilla, newt, owl, etc.
