I have been in the zoo area for over a decade so I have spent the day at the hogal zoo many times. It is a great place to take the kids on days the normal "go to's" just won't cut it and keep everyone happy and smiling or as a family friendly outdoor activity everyone can enjoy at any age, with either the family you are born into, the family that you get to pick or the one that picks you.

The 1-day admission cost per patron and age is more expensive than I like to pay but that's just me and my old-school belief that "anything over $4-7 is steep and there should be a coupon for that" hahahaha! It is definitely a better deal to purchase whichever 1 year membership option that fits your needs if you are a local and make the zoo a monthly family adventure... Time spent and memories made with your people is what life is all about and worth way more than any dollar amount every time!!!
