RecommendedFirst time visitor today and we loved it! Much more impressive than I was expecting and the staff was so friendly. We’ll definitely be back.
RecommendedNice variety of animals in natural habitats. We enjoyed the opening day! Zoo staff were helpful and friendly while keeping us socially distant and sanitation stations were available in many areas.
Recommendedtoday's visit was in early spring. it was chilly so many animals were indoors not on display. I have also visited during the summer. this is a smaller zoo than some more well known zoos like Detroit or San Diego. they don't have the variety of animals those zoos have. that said, it's still an enjoyable afternoon. if you don't dilly dally you can see all of it in 3 hours. note that the zoo is built upon some fairly steep hills. it might be a challenge for people who struggle with physical exertion.
RecommendedIt was great 👍 place to go they super nice to us you should come here it’s fun and it’s great place to go
RecommendedFun family fun even with the restrictions in place
RecommendedLego displays were amazing.
