Fresno Chaffee Zoo Review

We enjoyed our visit, very low price. We will be back again!!

The reptile exhibit is pretty cool. It was a nice zoo and not too expensive to get in. Food and drinks are expensive here if you plan to eat here. Went around the whole zoo but they were missing a few animals. Some you couldn't see because they were sleeping in the shade away from sight but that's okay. Nice place to walk around on a date or bring the kids. I wish I could have seen the elephant and the rhino's a little closer but them having space to roam around is better for them. It gets hot so make sure to stay hydrated.

I went for Zoo Boo. We had a good time but would definitely be helpful 2have a map so u dont miss anything.

Very nicely laid out, nice new safari area, cost is pretty good. Nice place to take the family. Great giraffe feeding area.

Amazing place to have fun with family and very beautiful there was animals up close and my favorite part was the sea lions show it is a nice place I recommend it to family s who want to visit it

So many amazing opportunities for children of all ages to "dig" and unearth bones and truly gives them a hands on approach to possibilities.
Truly one must plan on more than a single visit as there are so many areas to visit.
The grounds are well maintained...plenty of clean restrooms. Parking is ample though at peak times, you may have to walk a bit further. There are food options as well as coffee bars for those must have cappuccinos and lattes.
The staff are all very helpful.

Lovely place to take the kids. Look into the memberships.

Such a nice zoo. Was a nice way to spend the day with our family

Lots and lots of people come early or you'll have a long walk

We had a great experience at the zoo . The children had a blast looking at all the wonderful animals

Awesome zoo for a small City like Fresno. Awesome zoo. They are constantly trying to make it a better place for the animals and a super experience for the public. Tickets aren't too bad, but if you want to go back more than once a year it really pays to get a membership! Then you can go as often as you please and you get discounts in the gift stores and I think even on food, but don't hold me to the food. There is so much to see and experience and learn! Special places for kids and lots of benches to just sit and enjoy. If you like animals you have to check this place out!

It was a beautiful place to revisit! So much better now than when I was a kid. They have expanded and some of the exhibits are beautiful and amazing! They have really upgraded this zoo. I would highly recommend taking the kids here! It s educational and FUN!

I love this place is for me the best option for the whole family is enjoyed and exercised at the same time

The best place to take your kids to walk and have fun

Restrooms are filthy. Plus they want to charge you a $5 fee just to go in during the day. Unacceptable.

My family and I really enjoyed our day at the zoo. It is a beautiful zoo and the animals look happy and well taken care of. The jurassic part was awesome and a big win for the kids.

They have done.
Such a Great job with this place. Abd the food is off the hook as well.

Great service, it was a little hot but I had a fantastic time, especially in the Africa unit where you can feed giraffes, see Lions, eat in a marvelous food court that looks out on the "African Savannah".

I don't like this one too many homeless hanging around I don't fill safe

Was a blast me and twins class made a day of it !!!

A hole lot of fun great for small kid and big ones too

It definitely was a cool way to spend the day with my nieces and nephew but it was so hot. I hope they think about putting more misters. So much fun!

Had a good time my daughter we both enjoyed ourselves..

Amazing safari area love the upgrades and kiddie section well done chafee.

Good place to go to have fun with the children are still under construction but it is already bigger than before, the price is accessible.

It has changed a lot since I was a kid! And I'm glad that it is, it getting bigger and adding more animals. The new cafe is the best for a quick lunch too. Now I take my kids and they absolutely love it! If you find yourself or your whole family going a lot, invest in the yearly pass it is well worth it.

Lots of variety in animals. Zoo keepers are well informed

Fun little zoo! Feeding the giraffes was the highlight of the trip! A little crowded but overall a wonderful place to bring the family!

Visiting my sister here in Fresno . I'm from Montana. What a beautiful experience with the happy, healthy, vibrant animals you have.

Very beautiful and one relaxes 100% and 100% recommended.

Had a great time with the family. All staff were friendly. Noe we are season pass holders

Lots of changes and updates to the zoo. Best place to catch Pokemon in Fresno I think. Lots of things to do for little kids. Definitely a must do everything here at least once.

We just moved from LA to Fresno and this is zoo was a big surprise! It is really huge! It is the fastest-growing zoo in the nation and it has some marine animals like seals and stingrays you can touch, it has an amazing open space for African safari that resembles the San Diego Safari Landscaping where animals roam freely around a beautiful Lake. We fed the giraffes and got to learn so much from zookeepers! We definitely will be back many more times, got the membership which provides a lot of benefits like 10% discounts in the cafe and gift shop and preview events. having been to huge zoos like San Diego Zoo and San Diego Safari in the Los Angeles Zoo, we were surprised beyond our expectation at this beautiful and well-kept Zoo. It has so much to Explore! Oh, before I forget. My kids also spent a good hour digging in the dino dig, it was actually really fun to unearth bone and to get a real feeling of what it would be like being part of it fossil Expedition team.

Love this zoo. Our kids love it. Lots of animals and knowledgeable staff. Food is expensive but good. New water attraction is fun for kids and adults.

Great experience, I love animals! Had some ice cream here as well and it was delicious. We spent a good 3 hours walking around to look at mostly everything. It's only $3 to feed giraffes! Enjoyed it very much.

The staff is friendly and my family just loves it. My boys love feeding the giraffes, and make us see every animal some twice.

It was amazing you had alot of things you can do like get wet touch sting Ray's and also you can eat and have drinks it is also big and huge

Love this zoo ... to bad I moved to Missouri ... kids and I came to the zoo a lot

Had a wonderful time here. Staff is very knowledgeable. Facility is clean and open. Went with a few classmates, they have a lot of endangered species. Some animals are there for rehabilitation or because they have permanent disabilities (such as the blind sea lion). There is plent of space for the animals to roam, they are treated well and seem very content.

The greatest thing for families in the Fresno let's keep it going thanks for all the supporters!!!

I love the zoo, the walk, the animals the bonding with my kids can t get any better than this

Love visiting this place. Ideal place to take the family. Lots of place to barbecue.

Great way to spend a day. Make sure to check the weather, hotter days aren't the best. The park is clean and the staff is nice.

We had a great time! Loved their focus on conservation. You can tell their animals are loved and cared for. I got an affordable membership and will be going back frequently.

Wonderfully kept zoo. Animals in good environments and we'll cared for.

It's really good and my little brother had so much fun. So did me and my older brother and he is a teen so it's hard to get him to have fun but Chaffee zoo did it

Love the new area for the animals to rome. The only reason gave it a star less is San Diego Zoo is still bigger, but Fresno is improving for sure.

Really I really enjoy coming to the zoo with my family. I love the new attractions. The kids really enjoy feeding the animals and I like how it's not too expensive to partake in the activities there. I also love that you can bring your own food and drinks.

Wish they had more food options. Overall we enjoied out visit.

Do the giraffe feedings, petting stingrays, and dinosaur exhibit. Worth it!!

I really enjoyed going to the Fresno chaffee Zoo it's a very family friendly place the pizza is good as heck worth the 8-9 bucks.i just didn't like how the people rush you when you get to feed the giraffes the old man was rude I f not I'd give this place 5 stars .all in all it was fun I really liked it
