I had a great experience here. An awesome place to have family gather. Fun swings and playground for the kids. Plenty of grassy areas for laying down or playing soccer. Nice fishing streams. Plenty of parking. Big trees. Just a great place to create memories. (Lifetime) 🙏:plz come
Very nice area for gatherings picnics etc. They have tables with covers for reservations or just bring a blanket & picnic. There's lots to do here! Playground, museum, baseball, horseshoes, fishing, disc golf, Zoo, Tea Garden, etc. $5 week days & $6 weekends/Holidays.
I remember always coming for a holiday and spending the day with family enjoying the fun zone and the zoo. Unfortunately the fun area is not open any more but being here brought back so many memories. Still very affordable. The Japanese garden was not open to the public only because there was a wedding happening but it was still fun to enjoy with family.
We found Micke Park Zoo by accident and really enjoyed the park. It’s small enough for small children with many exotic animals and common too. The animals seemed less than amused that day. Maybe some enrichment? It’s a cute zoo. 😊
Cute little zoo for kids! I have never been here before and I came for a field trip with my daughter's 1st grade class. There were many animals that kept them engaged. Took about an 1 hour for us to view and read about all of the exhibits. They have a nice garden and play area with picnic tables for relaxing as well. Parking is $5, tickets for adults $5 and kids are $3.
