This was a small zoo, but worth the price. It has a nice variety of animals to look at and the landscaping is gorgeous. It was a quick stop with family, and they had a fun time. Full review by sarahpH2526QZ

This is a very smsll family owned zoo, so there isn't a huge variety of animals to see. But the grounds are beautiful and well maintained, and the animals appeared healthy and happy. Bring a picnic. … Full review by VanEsq12
What are the hours Sunday to Saturday? And are there any price differences on certain days? & are there food vendors or do we need to bring our own food?
A:
During the summer hours are 9-5. You can get a drink in the gift shop, but bring your own food. There is a great park right there to eat in.
Best time is when it is a comfortable temperature. Most animals are a little like us....they do not like extreme heat or cold. They are more responsive when they are comfortable.
How does Boo at the Zoo work? Hours, do we need to get tickets ahead of time, is there just a certain number that gets in, how late can you get in?
A:
It is from 6 to 8, they have a Facebook page with some info, usually folks line up early! Fun, fun! Usually bounce houses, candy and some awesome light effects!
There is really no specific feeding times for the Giraffes. Everything is really laid back at the Frank Buck Zoo so you can just do what and see what you want. Brian
