    Huge store with lots of selection and friendly staff. Downside is it can get busy and parking can be a pain. Don’t bother trying to call either, I was transferred 6 times and on hold for 10-15 minutes.

    Have been regulars just visiting with the kids using it as a "zoo" and random things, but yesterday we finally got some new additions! This is the first pet store that has EVER asked me about my set up at home, and genuinely care for the animals after they leave the store. 10/10 from the animals, to the set ups, to the staff, and the lay out.

    Great place , kinda like going to the zoo, the staff are very friendly,knowledgeable & helpful, they have a "pet pantry" where you can get food donated, on a Monthly basis but nevertheless it's still helpful in tight situations 👍 👍

    This isn't a store, it's a destination! You have to walk everywhere and then you'll be able to take it all in! 30 year old sturgeon in a small river, just an awesome delight for all senses!
