No one wanted to let the flamingos get too close Manhattan, Kansas' Sunset Zoo is a nice small town zoo. Most displays are modern & roomy, and the animals all appear healthy. I like the ways that they allow visitors to go into a number of the pens, with just the instructions to stay on the paths. I imagine this couldn't be done in a larger city's zoo. But the animals made me nervous a couple of times - the flamingos and some chickens that may have been just looking for handouts, but were too aggressive acting for my peace of mind. Admission to the Sunset Zoo is only $4, and the zoo is good for about an hour visit. Combine the visit with the Kansas State University Display Gardens and Bug Zoo for a pleasent morning or afternoon.
