Had a nice outing with my family, interesting and cute animals, no admission, and a fun playground for the kids!

I have been to the Riverview Park and Zoo many times! There is no charge to enter the zoo, so it is a great inexpensive place to visit. There aren't that many animals at the zoo, but there is a great splash pad and lots of different playground areas for children of all ages.
