The zoo is easy to get to, as it s right within Akron city. It s a cute zoo, with diverse displays. It s not the largest zoo, so is manageable within a few hours time, and has a lot of educational moments for kiddos. The animals seem calm, relaxed, and we ll cared for. I overheard a zoo keeper state they ve had several babies recently, which is a sign of a good zoo. We saw one, an adorable gazelle! The Red Panda, Grizzlies, Lions, and Komodo dragon were particular favorites. I haven t been as close to a lion another zoos and I could appreciate their size! A lot of the cafes and other stops along the zoo trail were closed, which was too bad, and I wouldn t plan on getting a bite here. But, lots of places are nearby.
