Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association Reviews

Pretty nice zoo. Layout a little confusing

I enjoyed the greenery almost as much as the animals.

If you are visiting from out of town and have a membership with your local zoo that offers reciprocity, be sure to have the details printed out or easily accessed on your phone. Admission staff don't seem aware of which zoos have this arrangement and it took quite some time to get the issue sorted.

I love going to this zoo. Very kid and handicap friendly. Clean and well kept.

Safety pin! The entrance is worth every dollar, it is an amazing place and apart from that it collaborates with the conservation and research of the species. You have to take a good time to be able to see each exhibition and try to follow an order so as not to miss anything, since at 4:30 or earlier they are already keeping some animals and it is a pity to miss some exhibition. The chicken tenders at Reggie's Grill were delicious!

Can't miss it! The ticket worths every dollar, is an awesome place and you collaborate with conservation and research of the species. Take your time so you can see each exhibition and follow a route so you don't miss anything, because at 4:30 or earlier they take animals off to rest and it's a shame to lose a single exhibition. The chicken tenders at Reggie's Grill were delicious!

Wonderful animals everywhere. Some exhibits were closed sadly, but it was still a great experience. The snow leopards were the most active and exciting.

It was a fun experience with my family. My nephew though being a baby seemed to enjoy it as well, unfortunately it looks like the most fun would be to have gone later at night.

Love the Zoo and the animals and so does my 3 year old grandaughter, which is why I got them a membership. They go 2 a month. She even had her birthday party there. Please go the kids will enjoy it and the parents too!

We had a great time at the Zoo.
I checked off a item from my bucket list. Feeding a giraffe was a fantastic experience. The grounds were well kept and bathrooms were clean.

Lots of walking but worth it for my granddaughters.

Wide variety of animals from every continent. Also 90% of the exhibits are operating.

Nice place . But bad reception For phone service and data service in half the park.

I Remember the zoo use to be $8 for a adult and the animals were much more impressive . Lack of animals in there homes and the ones that were looked starved and deppressed . I brought my sons and 3 year old daughter and I must say it was very Disappointing . We will probably just take the drive to san diego next time we want a zoo day .

Boring most of the animals were either dead or asleep or fake and made out of plastic.

Went for the halloween event and it was good there was activites, shows and candy. I just wish they had more candy stands and different variety of candy to give out. But besides that it was a good experience. I would definitely do it again next year.

They sucked they didnt trashy have any animals and they all looked like there dying

I am forced to give one star to publish my review. But my rate is 0 for this LAGER-ZOO.

The rights of animals must be really respected. For sure they are not respected at the Los Angeles Zoo.
One of the most horrible experiences in my LIFE.

The animals are kept in narrow places. The CONDOR, which flies at an height of a Jumbo Jet, constrained and forced to stay a narrow cage.

The snakes are in closed in glass BOXES!!!!!!!! The ASPCA would have to take care of these animals too, not only the pets. They are LIVING BEINGS. All the animals are depressed.

The Dollar God leads everything, at the point that people enjoy (!) to see the animals with a life sentence on them, because their fault is to be wild!!!!

But how can we live, thinking that we can live and move freely, while this animals have a life sentence on them, simply because the people can admire them, as if they were just clowns.

I cannot think of the birds closed in narrow cages, or the flamingos that are in a suspected open space, just because they cannot fly.
Why? Flamingos fly and are dark pink not of a fading pink color.

I wanted to finish my "visit" to realize how deep it was the animals' misery. My heart is full of sadness.

Look at the chimpanzee's glance. Look at the poor condor desperately looking for freedom in the pictures.

Mercy for them!

A great place to take your kid here. The dino exhibit is lame. Not worth the extra money to see. The animals are awesome. Big negative on that creepy cookie monster dude at the zoo entrance. Reminds me of Mr McGibblets from the show The League.

Got an annual pass because my kiddo loves animals and the bird show is something we always go to whenever we are here.

I liked this nice and the children have fun watching the animals

Impressive and speechless very beautiful and for me and the family

Well maintained but there are big non visible areas in the captives.

A lot of things were closed today but they really have put a lot of work into the place.
Granddaughter really wanted to see the giraffes and wow they had five of them!

It's beautiful walking all around the zoo, really interesting the number of animals they have.

Great family time! They're redoing a lot of stuff and it makes the zoo much more fun.

Such a busy place! Nice selection of animals to view. Wear comfortable shoes as you ll be walking far, both up and downhill.
Bathrooms are usually pretty gross, but stocked. The limited availability of seating is difficult. There s a major lack of food stands and choices. Some of the sales/promo booths are usually empty. They have ONE mister to help keep patrons cool since it gets so hot there, it would behoove them to install more around the park. For such a large, spread out zoo, the maps are few and small. The employees are professional, but not very courteous or friendly. Parking is spread out. A few habitats that have been closed and are still in desperate need of renovations, but just sit empty with no notices or signs explaining what s going on.
There are plenty of improvements Los Angeles SHOULD consider for this place and many ways to enhance it that remain neglected.

Great way to spend half a day! Had a late flight out of LAX. Could not check in until 6 PM. Needed something to do from time checking out if hotel until flight. After a leasurly breakfast hit the freeway. Was easy to find. Before checking out of hotel found a brochure for Zoo which had $2.00 off per adult. Price for adults is $22.00. not a bad price.

Unlike many places, this zoo does not check your bags or prohibit be you from bringing your own food or snacks. Do bring your own or at least a bottle of water. You can refill at drinking fountain. Otherwise at vending machines expect to pay close to $4 for water or Gatorade.

Strollers, wheelchairs and scooters can all be rented. I saw many families using wagons. Be warned: there are many hills to climb and it gets hot fast. Come early if possible. There is a bus pass that you can get to take you to different stops around the park. Price is currently $5 per adult. We did not have any kids, so I did not check prices.

Although many of the animals were sleeping, we still saw quite a few. Visiting the zoo is a way better alternative to sitting at the airport watching the clock. It's been many years since we last visited a zoo. I'm happy they are longer just in cages. We would definitely go again. Also, if you will be in the area for several days, check out the combined Zoo and Aquarium of the Pacific package. Might be a good way to save can some money!

Awesome I love the animals that they have and kids have fun

Love it and great for walking too. The exhibitions are so much better than when I was a kid. Great picnic areas too.

This is a review for the L.A. Zoo Lights Only.

I must say, expectations are high when coming here and the deliverance is next to mediocre. First of the price is just far to high for the minimal amount of lights they place, in all honesty the best part of the display is in the back at the very end of the walk. Kids may enjoy it more than adults, but as a parent you will not be satisfied. Another thing is the wording on the brochure of the walk, it states things like dancing elephants, snowboarding Iguanas, Disco ball bash. All things to make you excited for what lies ahead, instead you get this - 2 4ft neon light elephants with music in the back, No Iguanas and no snowboarding and lastly about 4 disco balls handing in a random place... stay away, go elsewhere, trust me, you'll thank me next year

One of the best zoo s we ve been to. Lots of walking that s for sure but never a dull sight. My family really enjoyed our trip here.

Great Zoo. Had a great time with my family here. Thanks!

Half of animals weren't out,came two in a half hours wY ???

There is no more Rhino :( my son was so looking forward to seeing the rhinoceros but after searching and finally asking a worker they said the rhino passed away and there is no rhino exhibit. Still had a good time feeding giraffes and looking at the other animals.

Very big zoo, tons of birds I would suggest going during warmer seasons since most of the animals are put away. It's a bit pricey, but we spent about 330-4 hrs here so it was wort it.

Amazing experience, we were there over night and staff is amazing! So many diff. Animals to see and the exhibits are great. Very clean and wheelchair accessible.

Its been a wonderful experience
i enjoy a lot

There are more animals then I thought there and each animal had a HUGE enclosure so it feels like the animals are actually happy there.

Our family loves the zoo... great place to take kids to learn and explore

We had fun here at the zoo, and the day we went there weren t many people at all. The zoo was a little bit too expensive, and I don t see myself coming back to visit it again. It was a fun day though, and the gorillas were posing for so,e of the photos we took!

The kids had a good time. Came from New Mexico and had a blast

World-class zoo, owned by the City of Los Angeles, on beautiful, large (54 ha) park grounds. Open daily from 10AM to 5PM. Admission price per adult: $22; senior: $19; child 2 to 12: $17.

I love it!!! Me and my family had a great time. Friendly service.

Love the water stations they have here to keep cool in the hot summer

My 4 year old absolutely loved it! Ex-Raid Eligible!

Very fun, HUGE, and a lot of animals. Only downside that there were quite a few empty or closed off exhibits but overall, would definitely come back.
