This is a pretty small, older zoo. The animals appear well kept, but it has an older, dated appearance to it. This is not a flashy, newer Zoo.
You can probably go through here in an hour and a half or so. There are good information postings for the exhibits, and there are some interesting habitat changes as you walk through the area. My wife and I didn't mind it so much, but my kids were a little bit less impressed with this place.
If you are visiting the parks in Orlando, and have a few younger kids with you, I think there are better choices than this Zoo.
We did not feel that it, or that the food was particularly expensive. I would really like to give this three and a half stars, but I think I have to go with 3 because of how my kids felt about this place.

A lot of animals in an easy loop to walk. A few buildings to get away from the weather. We had a blast! Loved how many lemurs they had and the bear exhibit was awesome!

Good place for an afternoon visit, not a whole day experience. We have the annual passes because there is still a reciprocal agreement where you get half off at the bigger zoos in Tampa and Jacksonville. Additionally, it's a nice place to visit for a couple hours. It's our low key Sunday outing.
Some thoughts though, it is a SMALL zoo. They have improved a lot in the last couple decades and most of the animals are in reasonable enclosures. When I was going to this zoo as a kid, the lions were in the same size cages that the monkeys are in today. However, there are still a few enclosures that leave you going, huh, who thought that was a good idea? The cougar enclosure comes to mind specifically. BUT, most of the enclosures are decent, which means that they do not have many large animals as it's a small zoo. If you like lemurs, they have several different kinds.
Another thought, do not go here specifically for the trick or treating. We have passes so we were just at the zoo because it was Sunday. However, people who were there to trick or treat had to have been disappointed. We were there for two hours and stopped at 7 stations and my daughter got a dumdum lollipop, a mini kitkat and 2 Hershey kisses. It was a pretty meager haul and plenty of disappointed children who came out in full costume for a couple pieces of candy rattling in the bottom of their trick or treat buckets. It seemed like half of the candy stations were businesses advertising and handing out a single piece of candy after you listened to their little spiel.
In other words, perfectly fine if you were already going to the zoo or had annual passes; total waste of money if you got your kids all dressed up and then spent $75 for your family to go specifically because there was going to be candy.

It will take you little over an hour to walk entire zoo. Price for admission goes down after 3pm.

The experience was fantastic. The animals look very healthy. My son had the opportunity to feed a giraffe, and the service was amazing. The trip turned out to be informational and fun from the moment we entered until we left. My 5 year old didn't what to leave. That says a lot.

Awesome hidden tree top adventure!
This particular rope course focuses more on technical obstacles than on ziplines.. Great place for an active couple to have a date. We opted for the 2 hour package that includes two different courses that vary in difficulty. If you arent very coordinated or have weak ankles/knees this type of activity will be very challenging.
The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Overall great experience!

It's mostly obstacles, not too much gliding. Wish the ticket sales people would tell you upfront how much time you'll be spending there between waiting for instructor, the instruction, and the course.

How this zoo has so many stars is beyond me. They must have paid people off to lie. This place is awful and the animals are NOT well cared for. In this heat, there is not sufficient shade or ways for the animals to cool down, they look miserable, underfed and clearly not meant to be there. My heart broke to see some of those animals stuck in enclosures clearly not big enough for them or well enough equipped to properly care for them. Never going back.

I found a lady's wallet Saturday afternoon in the smoking area. So, if lost your wallet, don't worry, everything is still in. Jessica, the zoo manager, locked it in the safe. I hope you read this.

Admission is a little pricey in my opinion. Sonnys option is awesome but was hoping their prices would be a little lower as well & maybe a better menu? I get it it's not a full service option but the options arent that great.

If they want to be a zoo then they need to spend much more money and time on the animal exhibits but it seems like they keep spending money on kiddy entertainment.

For what it is, kids loved it. Yes seen previous reviews and if you know what to expect as a adult you are not disappointed. Some animals were not out, but that can be the case at many bigger zoos as well. Its animals laying around, like they do alot in nature. Cutsy miniature train ride that lasts maybe 5min, $5 for 2 tickets. There is ziplining and adventure course for more $$ but our kids had fun in this smaller zoo.

The zipline is the best experience and it is great. The cheetah is personally my favorite animal, because I wish I had that type of speed. Overall there is a lot to do. There is a train ride for little kids and it works out well.

Very disappointed! 45 min drive , Waited over 30 mins in-line just to get in, paid $35 to go to a park Where there are few animals to see. I planned on whole day at zoo with my son. 1 hr 30 mins and we saw whole park and he was bored . It is worth Driving an hour more to go to Tampa .

It doesn't look like much at first, but listing the things to do here make me realize how much they have to offer. We can always find something to make a good time of our visit here. Play with sand, the giant connect 4, splash pad, feed the giraffes and animals at the petting address surrounding the gift shop. The gift shop is kind of pricy, but has a few pretty neat things. I especially like their selection of flavored crickets. They have extra fun events on Halloween and we've of year. Right now they're doing the festival of lights and I'm very impressed by the quality and amount of effort that had been put in their decorations. Beautiful!

I had a bad experience in the zoo, it started raining without getting so they continued to sell tickets, 10 minutes after entering the park closed for an incident, they did not have the courtesy to return the money or to give us tickets for another day , in summary I did not notice anything I did not enjoy anything and I lost my money and that did not seem good either for me or the other people who also paid to enter and left at the same time.

We were very disappointed in the amount of animals here for the price .. price and amount of exhibits is wayyyyy out of line .. takes about a hour to look
At the entire zoo if you take plenty of time .. we were on vacation from Texas and drive over from Kissimmee and for the price we were expecting equivalent to the Fort Worth or Dallas Zoos which was very much not the case .. also one person running the food area that was also very over priced .. what was there as nicely kept up and staff was friendly but that was definitely only worth about $5 per person ! Just saying

Amount of handicap parking is terrible.. 4 spots up front. Why so many spots for maternity are available is beyond me.

I prefer to start with the positive part, in the front of the zoo is a children's carousel and a great high ropes course and 1, 2 other great things. The rest was unfortunately quite disappointing.
the animals do not have much space in most enclosures, which was wasted on other things such as a huge gap between enclosure and visitor (which was often even as large as the enclosure itself or larger), many play opportunities for small kids (which is great, but so much in a zoo ??? where it comes to animals and eig the kids should learn something and see) between the ways much wasted space, ...
Unfortunately, some of the enclosures were not occupied at all or the animals were demarcated in the back area. The white-tailed eagles and macaws were trimmed so they could not fly out of the open enclosure and placing the cheetahs right next to their lunch (warthog) is not that good either.
Drinks and food are not allowed in the zoo. At least not from outside. Inside you may like to buy it. If the stalls are then occupied.
Unfortunately you can not speak of Botanical Garden here. Zoo & children's playground would be more appropriate as a name.
So if you need employment for your kids and want to see a few animals and have no big claims, I think it's in good hands abef should be better in the season.
Almost $ 20 per adult person is a bit over the top for out of season and this zoo.
Greetings Rebecca
GOOD LUCK

Very knowledgeable about the animals. I got to feed a giraffe.... It was great. Refreshments were surprisingly reasonable. The cost to get in was also well worth the visit. I spent about 3 and one half hours there. Perfect for family outing. 8 stars!!!!!

We really enjoyed the flora and fauna. Saw more and wider varits than Disney animal kingdom had up closer and in natural local settings. Sort is a diamond in the rough. Not a large crowed everyone had time to converse and answer question. Just a nice comfortable lauded back time, and inexpensive. Enjoyed the afternoon!

Animals seemed unhappy. 2 year old daughter had tons of fun though. Also there were many things closed such as the train, also the frogs and lizards and Snake s exhibit was extreme dusty. I could hardly breathe. I was forced to leave the exhibit because of all the dust in the air. It was like being in a box made of dirt.
