Great place for kids to play they need to restock the the ponds with more fish though I remember when you could catch several now it's like you might get a bite or two and kids need to learn to catch fish teaches patience

Needed a place to eat some Little Ceasars pizza because they don't have a dining room and Columbia Park has covered picnic tables with a nice atmosphere that makes the experience wonderful.

Columbian Park has so much to offer children and adults. Not only is there a zoo and a waterpark, the playground is great. Different play areas according to the age of the child. Safe and friendly surroundings. Walking and biking paths. A pond with a fountain. A train to let you tour the park relatively inexpensively. All in all, an amazing park.

What's not to love? It's free, small enough that kids can make it through without being exhausted, and fun. The only downside is that it's not very stroller friendly. Several of the exhibits require strollers to be left at the gate.

A lovely little zoo that is free of charge. This was a great way to spend an hour or two with our kids. We all loved the petting zoo! Definitely give this place a look the next time you are in Lafayette.

I lived 3 blocks from this park all my life. It's a great place to grow up. What peaple may not know is there is another park 3 blocks from Columbian park that is Murdock park. It's a nice woodsy area great for picknics. There are trails sled runs and the had a big movie night recently.

I like this park, but I feel safety for the children is less than adequate. I feel the watered areas should be fenced in and the man powered merry go round in the playground area needs updating. Safety issues for kids.

This is a great zoo! Admission is free but extra activities are not, like the train or feeding the animals. Its bigger then I thought so wear your good walking shoes. Strollers and wagons are welcomed but you can't take them into the exhibits (for the safety of the animals) so they ask you to leave your wagon or stroller outside the exhibits entrance and you have to walk back to get your stroller or wagon after you exit the exhibit. Nice, clean park. We had a great time. If you have the time make sure you go to the water park that is right next door.

Wanted to go for years and finally did. Great experience despite some rain when I was their. Exhibits were all great and staff very helpful even with the COVID conditions. Going to be coming back again.

I can't say enough good things about this zoo and the whole park in general. It is absolutely the quintessential park in central Indiana for very affordable family fun. I always recommend it to anyone I know that have young children. Can't go wrong with a fun day at the park.

A small zoo is really not as big as a big city, but it feels very comfortable. It is suitable for family and children to play. No tickets required The essence of the entire columna park is here! Oh right! Pokemom go's catching squad! Last week and this columna park is the nest of the squid king!

Lots of playground equipment located with benches for parents to take a seat and watch the kids play. The large pavilions have picnic tables with enough seating for your Birthdays and family gathering. The Zoo is free and adorable with a small number of animals, metal sculptures and variety of plants. This park has enough to enjoy for hours! Kiddie train ride is another feature. Must see park! Adventure is waiting.

The park was better when I was younger, no it didn't have this big fancy playground, but it still had a playgroud, it didn't have a water park it had an actual pool & it had rides for everyone! & of course we can't forget monkey island! My husband reminisce about this all the time wishing we still had the old park
