RecommendedI went to JBZ frequently when I was younger and just took my son and his friends. The zoo is still clean, and the updates are great! We particularly enjoyed reading the stories behind where the animals at JBZ came from. We will be back for sure!
Me and my family had a fun and relaxing time going to the zoo in Grand Rapids it's definitely not the biggest zoo in the world but it is definitely a great one to visit! Great animals and a fun atmosphere! We live about 2 hours away from the zoo and we love to go back to it time and time again! It's just a nice place to go to and just spend a whole afternoon enjoying everything that it has to offer!
Very nice little Zoo. Love the tiger enclosures with a tunnel leading through the woods to each exhibit. Looked like the tiger was walking on top of the edge in the woods. It's hilly but great walkways made it easy. Staff was friendly. Could use some volunteers near the exhibits to answer questions. Maybe they do more during the summer months. Overall we really enjoyed it.
It was awesome, just wish it had been warmer so we could have seen all the animals
I adore this zoo and the kids I nanny for also love it soooooo much!!!
We had so much fun! Love this zoo! Everything was clean, and fun!
