The Columbian Park Zoo is a great small zoo. It is free of charge and has great animals that one might not expect in such a small zoo. There are wallabies and prairie dogs, not to mention the large monkey cage. It was great to be in such close proximity to the animals, but also feel safe of course. I would definitely go back again.
