Always a fun time at John Ball Zoo , staff is friendly and the grandkids enjoy the whole park
loved it all was hotter than hot very humid but left at 2:00
We had a wonderful day at the John Ball Zoo! We loved exploring all of the animal exhibits and looking at the sculptures of animals created from marine debris. My children enjoyed feeding the birds, riding a camel, finding gemstones, and getting their face painted. The trails through the Zoo are surrounded by nature and are absolutely beautiful!
Love john ball zoo!!! it is great for a family day food prices are as to be expected anywhere else but one thing I love is that you can bring in your own drinks and food the exhibits are amazing my favorite is the red panda I also have activities like ASAP line and an obstacle course they have camel rides and Disney's Dole Whip
Love the zoo. The experience is very interactive, zip line is awesome and well worth the cost
Staff is friendly, clean park, cheap pricing, lots for the kids to do. Only thing it I wish they had a rope maze for kids shorter. Lots of animals to see also.
We love John Ball Zoo! The tigers, red panda, penguins, meerkats, and bears are always a hit with the kids. The special visiting exhibit with koalas was cute too. When we have extra time we enjoy doing the ropes course.
it has changed so much over the years....well done!!
