El Paso Zoo Review

Awesome place to take the family. It is totally worth the membership

Awesome spot for family. New attractions were being built when I went on Easter. Was a good family experience.

The zoo's a great place to pass good family time. Great expansions and improvements are happening, can't wait for summer to arrive!

The animals looks better than ever! My kids love the big playground in wood that they have! We ve a lot of fun!

I strongly believe that prices should be lowered while under construction...considering many displays are closed.

So many animals were out and in the water tonight! Was really neat to see....

Saw two dead birds on the ground,barely any staff and the gift shop was an awesome ending. Tried to buy two cute pens, $3.99 and 5.99, the girl tells me it'll be $20 and change. I said no, look at the sign right behind me, she says well the signs wrong, I said, so that's the price you should give me, she said no. So rude, who ever would pay more than $20 for two plastic pens! You should raise your entrance fees so you can create some more humane enclosures.

Boo at the Zoo is a fun event for kids but don't go if you're expecting small crowds.

I have been going to the El Paso Zoo since I was a little girl. Now I have my children and they also love visiting the zoo. It may not be as big or as fancy as other zoos but it's nice enough and big enough for us to enjoy. Some things, like food and souvenirs, are a little pricey.

Great place for el paso kids to go. The annual pass is well wroth it. It's basically the cost of going twice with a full load of kids, but you can go as much as you want. Also give discounts to other zoos throughout the country.

Nice zoo for the area. Giving it a four star because every time we go the birds on the wing show ends up being cancelled for whatever reason and alot of the animals aren't on their exhibits. The staff is very nice and the zoo is very clean.

Your lion and tiger looked hungry! We love this zoo and the animals have always seemed well fed and healthy in the past but my gosh, the big cats seem to be wasting away!

Really familiar I had many years that I did not go to the zoo and this trip was incredible to see all the remodeling done and what they can do.

Small but very affordable zoo. Some really neat animals.

Well maintained, nice alternative for family day trip

We love going here. The staff are so nice and wonderful.

I recomend this zoo because animals seems happy! Many of the zoos have sad animals. They look upset. But, El Paso zoo has a good appearance. It is so clean and they have kind employees. The only thing is that some animals do not have space enough.

Very fun, loved the bird show!! You can tell the lady enjoys her job!

The zoo has beatiful exhibits - we enjoyed a beautiful day watching the animals.

We had an amazing time at the zoo. We enjoyed walking around and seeing all the animals in their in their habitat enjoying themselves. We especially enjoyed the bird show. My daughter volunteered for the the dollar trick except the bird was not fallen for it. She had to walk the bird back to its cage. All in all it was an amazing show.

Needs more entertainment and the animals look like they want to commit suicide

Pretty cheap,small but they are trying to expand, pretty good for family

I loved the treatment of the very friendly staff, their traditional train and their fountain area. A place to live together as a family

Obviously things are overpriced in the same way concert tickets and t-shirts are, but overall a great experience. Friendly staff, plenty of appropriately placed trash cans and a great place to take the kids. The best days are in the middle of the week. Crowd control with a million strollers on the weekend could use some work.

Good place to take the kids and they got a cool area where the kids could get wet.

He is very father, I feel that something was missing, but I hope he is better after the remodeling they are doing

Awesome new Chihuahuan Desert exhibit! Winter is a great time to go since it isn't crowded and the animals are more active when it's not so hot. Also the new obstacle course looks really fun! It's $6-$8 to try it out.

Getting a family pass is well worth the price. The zoo is big and it will keep young children occupied. There is a large playground and splash pad there. You can bring in your own coolers and foods.

I've been a few times in El Paso Zoo. The animals look happy, well fed, and clean. The zoo is not too big or too small, you probably will need around 3-4 hours to walk around. The grounds are well maintained. If you want to have a snack there are places that serve food. Highly recommend visiting the El Paso zoo. Good quality time for families.

Had a nice time looking at the animals that decided to come out into the heat!

Its cool but its under construction and theyre expanding. If you come later in the day, most the animals are hiding. The seal is cool because he recycles!

VERY DISAPPOINTING. We wanted to watch The Birds of Prey exhibit, went to where the sign said it would be, waited until 5 min. Past the posted time and finally learned it would be in a different area, hurried there, waited, finally asked an employee and were told the bird was "mad" so it was cancelled. We went to the Sea Lion exhibit, the glass was so filthy you couldn't even see the Sea Lions. Staff was seriously not helpful, just a very disappointing day

The event was an after hours sports themed evening. The animals were out and active. I took our 23 month old grandson and he had a blast!

I love to go there and have a nice family day. With the remodeling I am very father

Everything was fine until we got to the area of the tiger and the area of the Eagles is closed and many other animals that I did not like because they charge you the same and it is half closed

Fun for families and kids of all ages. They have quite a few 'Meet the keeper' events throughout the day where you can see the zookeeper feed a certain animal. Very interesting!

Not bad for it's size. Animals were moving around where you could see them

The membership is totally worth it to make quick visits throughout the year when looking to kill time or just get the kids out of the house. Always something new to see, e.g. I saw the wolves for the first time this visit...we didn't do it this time but feeding the giraffes is a blast for kids and adults alike!

For a few hours of distraction it is very good. My son enjoyed it. They have places where children can cool off by playing with water.

This place has improved greatly over the years. Looking forward to all the improvements to come. The new Asia region is beautiful. The new carosel is gorgeous! Definitely somewhere you can take the kids and spend the day.

Clean, animals looked healthy . But must go at a good time to see all of the animals because they don't move much until in late afternoon when they get fed , also some new additions coming to the zoo soon .

Really nice place for the kids. The zoo is expanding and has some nice events on the holidays, giraffe feeding is awesome. There are a few suggestions I would make: clean/replace some of the glass dividers (specifically the sea lion glass is impossible to see through), a vendor or two on normal weekends might keep people at the zoo longer.

Great collection of animals and they're cleverly grouped by continents; a smart thing to do, in my opinion. My family and I recently became card carrying members!

Many of the animals were not on exhibit. Nice gift shop.

Great place to take the family. You can take food & water , they also sell food and drinks inside. Learn about different wildlife & enjoy.

The time we went all animals were put away it was not fun it was like 2 hours before close , the shop was close we wanted to get an elephant , it was annoying walking around not been able too see any animal

The Zoo in El Paso is pretty awesome. Boo at the Zoo is fun. It's got a decent layout a good amount if animals and activities. Only reason I don't give 5 stars is the size. Not a larger Zoo but perfect for a family outing.

Alot of animals missing and Construction. They closed the sea lions area early on a Saturday.

Nice zoo good selection of animals beautiful landscaping but very very crowded with field trips and day cares during the week

Zoo has improved so much! Loved going had a good day with my family

It s still under construction and it has been under since 2010 and I just want it to be done! Other than that it s so beautiful and so much to see. It was grown so much since I was a kid and now as an adult I m enjoying it even more

Great time to visit with the family. Go during the week, very little traffic.

Good zoo. Not overly huge, so you don't feel like you have to spend the entire day for your money's worth.

This zoo used to be a lot better.. they barely even have animals now..

Very enjoyable place to spend the day! We ONLY had a FEW HOURS to wander. However, saw enough th HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Bring towels for the kiddos:-) Splashpad

The zoo is much improved from even as recent as a couple years ago, the exhibits have grown! Unfortunately there is not much catered for visitors looking to avoid the weekend crowd, no shows or guides

Magic show using kids from the audience was cute. Interactive.

It's getting there, but has a long way to go.
Too many exhibit's were closed, still payed full price.

Didn't even make it inside. We got there a little after 3:00 and they said they put the animals away @4. Why!? If you close @5, why put the animals away a whole hour before closing? I may return but definitely do it before 3pm because that's just ridiculous.
