My husband and I took our son out to the killman zoo.
Neither of us has a problem with zoo's, as long as the animals are properly cared for.
As we were entering the zoo, a couple with their son in a stroller warned us about an "agitated" tiger that "doesn't like strollers" the tiger apparently lunged at the family walking by.
We spoke to a staff member, who said that the tiger had previously been teased by someone with a stroller (who would do this!!???)and now is irritated by kids in strollers...the mesh fences are so flimsy, I worry that this is a horrific accident waiting to happen.
I checked out the tiger, without my son or his stroller, and this huge animal was pacing back and forth, glaring at the kids running around. the majority of the visitors that day were families, with kids, most of them had strollers! All of the cages were filthy, and mostly devoid of anything for the animals to keep themselves busy. The animals did look healthy and well fed though.
My biggest concern with this place is the number of predatory large cats and the flimsy little wire fences that they could take down no problem if provoked or irritated enough.
We won't visit again.
