This zoo is fairly small, but it's a great space for an afternoon trip! At 10 dollars standard admission (cheaper for kids and seniors), this zoo is an excellent and affordable location to enjoy nature, learn about exotic animals, and support wild life conservation.

Mill Mountain Zoo is an amazing part of Roanoke. This is fun for all ages. The parking is free. There are many types of animals from reptiles, to cats, to an amazing bird enclosure. There is also the zoo train that runs every hour on the hour and is really fun. The bathrooms are clean and the staff ...

Way overpriced for the limited number of animals. I believe we paid $25 and saw 7 animals (not exaggerating). It's not really a Zoo, it's a very small collection of about 5 unique animals. The snow leopard and linx were the only real attractions. Everything else I can see out my back door any give...

Although the staff was very friendly, knowledgeable & engaging, the zoo was a mess. It was heartbreaking to see such beautiful animals being housed in enclosures that were far too small & in many cases, in disrepair. My family & I watched a raccoon, who by the attendants report had been trained to b...

Very disappointing. Due to Coronavirus, they were giving a $1 discount! Over 1/2 of it was closed! Also, well over 50 people there and most were children (understandably) running in many directions with no facemasks (except my grandson). I have been many times before and this was my first experi...

Mill Mountain Zoo is very small, but full of life! Unlike other zoos we have visited, the animals were all awake, active, and alert. The snow leopard, Bali, put on a great show playing with a baby pool that had just been introduced to his enclosure.

I ve been to several small town zoos, so kept my expectations within reason. The good news is friendly staff and a pretty natural setting under big trees, clean restrooms. But honestly, this zoo is SO sad. It s very, very small with tiny enclosures for the animals, most of which could not be seen, b...

It's a small zoo, a nice stop along your route. They have a snow leopard, which is cool. Some of the enclosures and buildings look like they need some maintenance, or completion (there were some under construction that looked like it's been taking a while). The zoo train is cute and a unique feature...

Small Zoo/ large animal sanctuary. Indiginous critters that have been rescued but are unable to survive release back to the wild. The staff is dedicated to wildlife conservation and love the inquisitive queries of interested visitors. If you are in the Roanoke area, add a half day here to your itine...

This is a very small Zoo, but they have a reasonable selection of animals to see.

On the whole you get the sense the animals are well looked after, but those enclosures are so small. Seeing them is such small cages is hard to take in.

The fee to get in is pretty cheap and they even do a free e...

Cute little Zoo. 9 year old and 3 year old had a great time. The smaller size of the zoo allowed the kids to spend more time at each exhibit, and see every animal. They have a variety of animals, reptiles, birds, fish... It was cool. They have a train ride that we went on. Bought a couple things fro...

This is quite the little zoo. In October 2020, it s a bit discounted to $9 a person since the reptile part is closed. There s soon to be a black bear! The gift shop is tiny (it s mostly stuffed animals; there are not really any magnets or key chains or the sort). There s about 10-15 types of animals...

Quaint little zoo. Reminds me of the one I volunteered with while stationed in KS. Small enough to go through quickly, but large enough to enjoy. If you are looking for a big zoo with the bigger animals then this isn't the spot for you, but if you are just looking for a quiet get away which is se...

Giving this a 3 star review because I wasn't aware they hardly had any animals. Now as I look at their website, I see they don't offer much. When we checked in to buy our tickets, we had 3 adults, a 8 year old, and a 2 year old so the price came to $38.00 even (which isn't bad) we drove two hours he...

My parents and I had a lot of fun in this small, but well-kept zoo. The keepers were friendly and knowledgeable about their animals, and said animals were playful and active when we were there. Definitely small zoo but worth the $7.50 admission (less with AAA discount) and the amazing views in all d...
