We love the zoo so much! My son is 1 and a hf and knows most of the animals. We are members and go as often as we can! Best $ I've spent!

Small, easy to get around - and covers all the bases for a small zoo. Of course I bought a membership because my son loves Stingrays, saw them once, then they all died. I will not buy another membership, because that was the pull for us. Next year our money will go to an aquarium.

We did a behind the scenes tour & my daughter also did the penguin feeding! It was a great experience. Our tour guide, Jen, was fun & informative. David helped my daughter feel at ease with the penguins! Thanks John Ball Zoo for a great time �
