    Come on free Jackson Co. Day. Say you're from Jackson Co. Helps if you're tatted up and wearing a wife beater.

    More than 200 acres of adventure and 1,000 animals in naturalistic settings. Visit Nikita year round in the new Polar Bear Passage. Watch as he swims in his 144,000 gallon swimming pool.
