"We're going to allow people right in with them to hold and feed the babies," Kagels tells WKBW.

Niagara County Down Under isn't your typical zoo with 9 to 5 hours. Kagels plans to offer private tours once she gets the proper insurance. She's also holding fundraisers for Australia after the devastating fires and will donate a portion of proceeds from admissions and the store all year long.
