This small zoo allows you to get up close and personal with lots of cool animals and reptiles. The…read morebaby animal room was the best part and well worth the extra $5. Definitely a hit with the kiddo! We took our 6yo daughter on a Sunday afternoon and she loved it. We saw alligators, capybaras, all sorts of weird fowl, goats, monkeys, a pig, an emu, some zebras (they were far off in an area that wasn't accessible), bears, baboons, roosters, a donkey, a miniature pony, peacocks, and tortoises. Probably the coolest thing outside the baby animal room was the alligator feeding. One of the handlers came out with a bucket of raw chicken and some gator knowledge, and we stood just feet away as these massive gators hissed and jumped and came up out of the water to eat. It was so awesome! In addition to the animals, there was also a small playground with ropes to swing on and climb. On our way out we stopped in the baby animal area and got to hold ferrets, a bearded dragon, two snakes, a baby coati, and a baby alligator. There was also a sweet baby muntjac deer you could pet (but not hold). We took a lot of really fun pictures. It was a great way to end the visit. The only drawback is that the grounds don't seem well-maintained and need mowing and other work. The barns were really dirty and covered in cobwebs. There were giant tortoise turds on the walkway. One of the feeding tubes for the bears was broken. You can tell the place is in need of some repairs. I'm sure it's because all their profits go to the animals and not the facilities. It didn't prevent us from having a great time and we would definitely visit again!

We choose a specific slot time thinking that it would be myself and my husband with a monkey. Instead we were in a group, which is fine / I understand they made it work because they were understaffed. However, he brought a lemur and a baby monkey in. The baby monkey was extremely cute but we were not allowed to hold it. I was pretty upset inside and I did mention it and he said if I could hang around longer then he could possibly make it work, but it was 1PM and I didn't eat yet.. so we left. I just wish it was a different experience. Still thankful I got to touch the monkey.. & all the staff was extremely kind.

The Worst Birthday Party Experience -- Save Your Money! I…read morewould not recommend Whatz Up in Seven Points, TX, especially for a birthday party. What should have been a fun, memorable celebration for our grandson turned into a stressful, upsetting, and very expensive experience. The outside of the building appeared run-down and dirty, which was not a great first impression. Our grandson's mom had paid a deposit weeks in advance and had been sent a picture of the party room. When we arrived, the room looked nothing like the picture. We questioned whether we had been given the wrong room, only to be told that the picture they had sent was an old photo. If customers are paying a deposit and planning a party in advance, they should be given an accurate picture of the room they will actually be using. We decorated the room anyway, only to discover that there was no working air conditioning. It was hot throughout the party, making an already disappointing situation even more uncomfortable for the children and guests. We had requested the complete three-hour package, including go-karts and the other activities. However, there were problems from the start. The staff took a while to bring the children their activity passes, and when they finally did, they handed out cards instead of wristbands. After about 20-30 minutes, some of the children returned because their cards would not work on the go-karts and some of the other attractions. We were then told that the children had been given the wrong items and should have received wristbands instead. When their mom asked the staff to correct the mistake, she was told that the cards could only be exchanged for the remaining unused credits. She eventually agreed to pay extra for wristbands so the children could enjoy the activities they had been promised. As a result, the cost ended up being more than double what she had originally been quoted. She also had to purchase additional food beyond what was included in the package. By the time everything was added up, she had paid over $500 for the party. To make matters worse, the staff would not provide the wristbands until she paid the entire balance upfront, even though the confusion over the activity passes had resulted from their own mistake. After she signed and the charge had already gone through her bank, staff asked to see her driver's license, saying that the signatures did not match. She signed again, but the situation continued to escalate. Management then accused her of being rude and called the sheriff's department to have her removed from the building. She was told to leave, and no refund was offered, even though the children still had more than an hour and a half remaining to enjoy the activities included in the package. Imagine spending hundreds of dollars to celebrate your child's birthday, trying to resolve problems that arise during the party, and ending up being told to leave before the paid activities are finished. That is not how a family should be treated. Our family and friends had also spent money on activity cards and wristbands. After what happened, everyone left, and the money spent on those activities was essentially wasted. What should have been a happy birthday celebration for our grandson turned into a day of frustration and disappointment for the entire family. Instead of enjoying the celebration, we were dealing with an uncomfortable party room, incorrect activity passes, unexpected additional charges, and a confrontation with management. Mistakes can happen at any business, but how those mistakes are handled matters. We expected the staff to work with us to resolve the problem, especially since we had paid for a complete package. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. Based on what happened, I would strongly encourage families to carefully consider their options before booking a birthday party here. I would not host another party at this location, and I cannot recommend it based on our experience. Our grandson deserved a fun birthday celebration, and our family deserved better for the money we spent.
