Review of John Ball Zoo Society

Been going to the zoo since we had kids {9 years)....

Been going to the zoo since we had kids {9 years). Love feeding the 'birds, looking for the mountain lions and snow leopards, riding the camels, watching the penguins,...Kids never are bored there. They don't fight and we can easily spend a day walking the whole park getting fresh air. If you bring a lunch it can be next to free; if you pay for a membership and use it more than once. Family membership very affordable. We always ride bikes there and make it a destination. The surrounding park has plenty to explore also. Easily a place to make a regular stop at and great for young kids and parents who don't want their kids spending our wonderful west michigan summer inside watching TV!
