    Review summary

    Excellent
    2.5K reviews•Google Maps

    The Exotic Resort Zoo delivers a reliably enjoyable experience that keeps families coming back. Visitors consistently praise the knowledgeable and friendly staff, with guides like Amanda earning special recognition for their enthusiasm and expertise. The facility offers flexibility with both self-guided drive-through options and guided tours, giving you control over your pace while ensuring plenty of animal interaction and feeding opportunities. The animals appear well-cared for, and the petting zoo is a particular highlight for kids and adults alike. One visitor humorously noted the abundance of deer among the 700+ animals, suggesting the variety might lean heavily in one direction, though this didn't dampen their overall enjoyment. Most guests find the experience worth the cost, especially considering the generous portions of animal feed included and the educational value provided by attentive guides. It's clearly a place that earns repeat visits, with multiple reviewers mentioning they've returned or plan to come back with out-of-town guests.
