This classic small zoo almost doubled its size and elevated its allure with its Africa exhibition in 2009, at that point still known as Glen Oak Zoo . You can find yourself eye-to-eye with a giraffe on the elevated walkway that surrounds the circular exhibition. Look for rhinos, zebras, antelope and giraffes wandering across the area and stand inches from a lion playfully pawing the glass. You can cool off in the older part of the zoo, which has plenty of shade. Look for snakes, reptiles, bats, monkeys, a camel, emu, porcupine, tortoise, black swans, sea lions and a petting zoo. You can see it all in an hour and a half to two hours, making it perfect for young children.

I don't have any guides of this zoo. Does any body know if they made any guides? And where I can get those?
In the years 1980 and 2005 they had theire anniversarrys. Have they made any books on this occassion?
