Great Attraction
Valley Zoo is a great place for kids and parents to enjoy anytime of the year. During the summer the mature trees offer a lot of shade and there are places all over the Zoo where you can sit down and rest. My daughter loves the little boats, the carousel and the animals so we usually visit Valley Zoo 5 or 6 times a year.
