Da Fluffya Zoo is a beautiful 42-acre Victorian Garden. Da wrought-iron front gate and gatehouses are the originals from the 1850's. Walking the path, visitors may turn a corner and discover a fountain, a full-size bronze warthog or a stylized granite mama bear and cub. Even without the animals the zoo grounds are perfect for a leisurely stroll. Yet da zoo is in da middle of the fifth largest city in da US!!!
