Chehaw Wild Animal Park

We had a wonderful time here! The animals actually look happy and like they havent given up on life like at our local zoo. The gators have a wonderful huge exhibit that looks very natural. All the animals look healthy and happy. Im big on ethical zoos and this one really seems to be doing a good job. Currently not AZA accredited due to what I hear is mostly funding problems but they are still operating as if they are AZA and holding a high standard of care. The cheeseburgers at the food stand were delicious! Some of the walkways are in need of maintenance so watch your step in some areas. A nice selection of cool animals all of which seem to have plenty of natural looking habitat to roam. And staff were happy to answer our questions and seemed very content in their jobs. The local keepers by us all seem miserable like the animals. Overall this was a delightful couple hours with pretty foliage and amazing animals!

Small but enjoyable. Everyone is friendly especially the girl at the food stand. Didn't get her name unfortunately so I can't call her out for great service.
