Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association Reviews

The parking can be a total nightmare. We've gone in the past and had to leave because we couldn't find a parking space.

It was so Much Fun Excellent all four of the kids loved it & had a Fantastic time! I am so glad we got to see all the animals including the Roaring lion & tigers which I am glad they didnt put them right away at 4:00pm we drove far from the high dessert about 2 hours on Sunday afternoon & was pleased to see them! I recommend everybody to go there and see all the Wonderful animals!

Great place for kids, a little too crowded on the day we visit

Had a blast. Got a tour of the zoo from this guy named Moe. He has a lot of knowledge of the animals and made our experience even more fun

Lots of animals were not there
in the place thay had to be.

Save your money! We spent the get in $74 just for 2 kids and my husband, place was dirty! Restroom disgusting! Papers and trash everywhere! You have to walk a lot to get to one place and the other which makes it seem HUGE but they don t have many animals! Too much people for NOTHING... never going back! Visiting from Texas and for nothing!

Great place to spend time with your family ,my loves this place

So much fun! Kids always come home tired but with a smile! This is a parent's dream. Tickets are affordable and the parking isn't too bad

It is a precious moment seeing those lovely and rare animals.

I liked the L.A. Zoo Lights, but I think it needs more lights and music. I want them to be more attractive.

Came for the LA Zoo lights, while the lights were cool, I came on a day that was raining so that was a bummer. Cool lights, shame the animals weren't out though.

Beautiful habitat for a large number of exotic animals. Unfortunately, in the past years, the lions zone was closed for repairs.

Lovely place to visit, great to bring kids here as they will enjoy it greatly. Alot of different and interesting animals to see here!

If you love animals this the place for you!
But you will have to walk quite a lot to see every animal.
There is a restaurant,vending machines, and bathrooms so you can take your time .
All together it's a nice time.

Nice zoo good setup not that big half fay more then enough .

Lots of walking so bring comfortable shoes. Can be very crowded depending the day and time you visit. The only thing that disappointed me was how old most of the animals we saw looked. Not that they're not enjoyable but looked tired....

Great place to see and photograph different animals..please don't forget to wear your mask....

Decent entrance fee $21 and food not to pricy. Good day to see the animals and way cheaper then disneyland

Like the zoo but I was there for work. Work for city of LA.

The animals are adorable, but it's a small zoo for such a crowded metropolitan area. There's very little standing space, and even less seating at each exhibit, which only seems that much smaller with a decent sized crowd walking around to see each if the animals. My friend and I visited on a not-too-busy day, and it still felt far too crowded. There's no place to go inside to escape from the blazing southern California sun, and not nearly enough places to cool off (like the misters they have spread around in very few locations).

Every zoo I've been to has been better than this zoo! The price of this zoo doesn't match the experience $20 and military gets $3 off? San Diego military gets in free and most other zoos in the country. Most exhibits were small, the animals looked under fed, indoor exhibits weren't air conditioned and super humid.... Terrible zoo id give it half a star if I could.

Had never been there. Kinda disappointed with the habitats for animals. The information posted on each animal tells about the habitat they live in. What they had for most animals was nothing like described. However reptiles were awesome. Fun trying to find all the frogs, lizards etc. in their natural habitat. Zoo is also very clean.

The lights where not everywhere also the poor animals where shaking the whole time

the kids loved it it was awesome I had a great time I can't wait to go back

It's just sad..The animals look depressed. The zoo is not at all what it used to be.

When I went there the animals were all asleep (even if they weren t nocturnal), I was there for a while and never saw some of them up and about. The enclosures were over grown and dirty, and a lot of them had rats/mice in them. I hardly ever saw staff, honestly it was so understaffed most of the kiosks and snack areas were closed. It was almost like the whole zoo was run by five people. Overall, I think this zoo definitely needs to be checked for neglect.

Always a great place to have a wonderful time with one's family.

Always a great day at zoo! Even better now with reservation only. Perfect amount of people, plenty of room. Feel safe. Some things closed, i.e. shows of course. But during these times, expected. Grandbaby had a ball. As we were leaving she said, "Best day ever!". Whatelse needs to be said. :)

Had a goid time seeing all the animals, nut was upset that security closed the reptile exhibit 30 minutes before closing time.

It was awesome, we went for my daughters TK field trip and she and her classmates had a lot of fun!!

Overpriced beer, and animal exhibits seem a little small and sad as they are only here for our entertainment in contrast to the efforts of San Diego Zoo's Safari Park. However, this is a wonderful place to see and learn about our planets beautiful wildlife. I only wish they kept the facilities maintained and up to date.

A 'Los Angeles Zoo' review, in haiku form:
Juxtaposition:
How inhumane we once were,
But now...photo shoots!

Great time my daughters 15 & 17 were blown away thamks

I saw a gorilla getting transferred to another cage

Solid city zoo. Clean and diverse. Best in the early mornings or days that aren't too hot that the animals hide away from the sun. It's a workout getting around so be prepared (there is a shuttle for extra $). Good food options (not cheap, but there's alcohol!) and recently renovated, shaded jungle gym for the littles and parents to rest. Fake Cookie Monster loitering outside offering hugs is creepy to me but I don't know his story. LA Zoo Lights is a fun winter nighttime experience! Toddler-approved (and apparently great date-night experience).

One of the better zoo s in the state.giant crocodile.and huge zebras.a must see.youngbo.moneymobbn..

The zoo is just the right size for little ones. My kids are able to see all the animals in a day. We usually take our own lunch and sit in the playground area. It's busy during the school year due to field trips and the light show during Christmas season is super crowded.

This is a great place to take your kids, i take my son onces a month. He loves it and so do i. Clean and safe place to go. Nice play group and good shows as well.

I went in summer it was very hot. They have very clean. Some animals feel sorry for how they look sad because they are not in their natural habitat.

Decent place but I think it could be a little more lively and I felt the price was a little high because they seem to nickel and dime me once you get inside the park.

Amazing. First time I been to a proper zoo. I was blown away. We got there later in the day on a Friday which was a good thing. We missed all the school trips/kids and it wasn't very busy. The only thing is you miss all the shows, but I was fine with that.

Great place for family's .I recommend getting the family membership to go in all year long .

Great place for kids. Entrance is inexpensive. Everything else, like food and souvenirs are priced as expected. Friendly, knowledgeable staff . It's in a beautiful area and animals look to be kindly tended too.

They could have more places to sit along the way to each exhibit. They always have something to see. Great parking Easy access to the freeway. Great place to visit with kids & or family.

1979, 8 years ole, walked the trail, went down to the ole Zoo, Looked over the city of L.A., Special Place

Zoo is pretty great during the day but their lights night was extremely crowded which made it hard to enjoy.

Amazing family value for the money! Great variety of animals and plenty of food and drink stops along the walk.
