El Paso Zoo Review

The zoo offers an annual family pass. Take the kids for a couple of hours here and there.

Of the most beautiful zoos I have visited, it is well worth knowing.

It has the potential to be so much better if the city would stop being so cheap with donations.

Love the fact u can actually see almost everything in one day, especially if you have an itinerary! It's not as big as NYC's Bronx Zoo but is still beautiful and entertaining for the little ones. We fed a giraffe and the costs to participate in certain activities wasn't so bad!!!

This zoo ia amazing. Staff is friendly, grounds are neat and clean. There is a wide varity of animals. I'm excited for the new development under construction. Some water misters with fans would add to the park and help keep visitors fresh

It's good but there's a lot of displays that are closed.

I loved it! Excellent place to take my young children :)

Some dirty cages. Animal's water not clean.. Some of them dont have shadows to cover from sun..

Pavilion is excellent party venue, available for rent, on-site catering, roomy, and hassle free.

Always fun going to the Zoo and having the kids enjoy themselves and learn new things about the exotic animals . The Easter Eggstravaganda was fun this year as well.

They do not have designated changing tables for children in any restroom. Women or men, other then that. Decent.

Family friendly, small enough to not feel rushed. Bathrooms need some maintenance, some sinks didn't work, missing soap dispensers, etc. Some enclosures were very nice, others could use some improvement.

It was raining and I didn't get to go in and I wanted to but I would like to go some other day

Besides the beautiful upgrades to the zoo and animal exhibits, the after hour events such as Brew at the Zoo is a must go to experience. With great support from the craft community this bash is a blast.

Went as early possible which is better, less people and you get to see everything in time. Just this zoo needs more animals overall it's great!

They should not charge full price when they have so many exhibitions closed.

They have new exhibits. They also have more play areas for the kids to play. Keep up the good work El Paso.

This zoo was impressive. They had lions,tigers,rare monkeys,leopards,African gardens. Good way to spend a day if your in El Paso

Sorry, but this zoo charges way too much for what they have... Their animals always look like they're starving! I'd rather go visit other zoos out of town and pay less to see a lot more!

It's small compared to other zoos but had quite a bit to see. The weather was miserably hot so most of the animals were in hiding. One thing I noticed is that there were no employees walking the grounds monitoring the animals.

The food at the Passport Cafe was alright but pricey. I believe you are allowed to bring outside food and drinks, I saw people with coolers. The bathrooms were clean. They do not have motorized scooters for elderly or disabled but they have wheelchairs. No deposit on those just need to take your ID to the cashier. Their membership packages are affordable.

A couple of things that really bothered me...the sheep were not sheared. They need to be sheared during the spring so they do not overheat come summertime. They looked dehydrated and sick. Their sheep are in very bad shape. Also, the one elephant I saw was swaying and also looked ill. It needs to be taken to a sanctuary to roam free. Elephants don't do well in captivity for long periods of time.

Always under construction..nothing to see..we need a better zoo

The El Paso Zoo is the most pathetic zoo I've ever been to! Today was the worst experience ever! We went there on a field trip with children with disabilities and the security officers and general managers were more concerned about the right count of people than the safety and welfare of our students! We got there with 2 hours to enjoy the zoo, and instead we had to wait outside and inside the hot white tent so that they could recount the number of people! Are they really that hard up for money that they're that concerned about the exact count, when your security officers didn't do it right the first time!? Then to get back on the buses after only less than an hour to see the zoo, our children were still made to wait to get on the buses because once again it was disorganized! I'm sorry, but this zoo is boring, disorganized, and lacks empathy. I'm hoping that something will be done to help make this place enjoyable!

Excellent, family friendly medium-sized zoo with a diverse and interesting assortment of mammals, reptiles and birds. Shows educational and entertaining, especially enjoyed the lion trainer's exhibition. Wonderful playground and fountains for children to cool off and play.

The new Chihuahuan Desert area is a great addition and the Copper Canyon Ropes Course is great for kids of any size. Turning the splash pad into a snowy play area for Santa at the Zoo was a nice touch, all of the kids loved it.

Awesome day. Really friendly employees, we lived the birds hsow at the amphitheatre!!
