RecommendedWe had a great time at the zoo yesterday! The only thing is it is very easy to miss something because we didnt have a map. We took the trolley up and the lady up there didnt have any maps.... :/ we almost missed the high path if we didnt pull the map up on our phones!
The reason I go to John ball instead of binder park is because of the tigers. I loved being able to see them so up close. Even had a very nice worker chatting with us by the tigers and telling us their names and facts about them. Such a great experience. ���
I really enjoyed the zoo. It is smaller than most, but it really has an excellent place for what we were able to see and do as well as the price for admission.
Great time for sure! Love the new playground equipment for the kids! Made it easy to stop & take a break while they play (:
Great zoo. It could definitely use some upgrades but I can only imagine how little funds they get being in Grand Rapids. As much as I feel the extra activities that require a fee are on the more expensive side, I can totally understand why they charge so much.They NEED more funding! I'm glad to see they have upgraded a lot of the bigger animal's enclosures since I was a kid. I wish I knew more about specific animal's behavior to know for sure if the animals seem happy and healthy. Overall it's a friendly and safe atmosphere... read more
