Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association Reviews

so many hills. so, so many hills. programming is nice, though. zoo lights, after dark, etc.

Awesome place to have a nice walk looking at all the animals and the kids love it

My favorite zoo! Super beautiful place. This is such an amazing experience. I love all the animals. This oo is actually cheap on admission pricing. Its worth every penny. There's a lot to see and a lot to do.

It's so fun! The chimpanzees make it fun cuz they Interact with you.

This place is great for kids and the animals look well taken care of

Even though some of the exhibits were not fully functional it is a start in the right direction toward lifting Covid restrictions and moving toward normalcy.

Wife and I took the 4 kids to experience "LA Zoo Lights". It was pretty awesome, everyone enjoyed it.

Enjoyed it. Would prefer to go when cooler outside.

Went for the roaring 80s night with music from that era. Certain parts of the park open and it was a really good time. This was an over 21 event. A great time was had by all

We went to the light show which felt like a huge waste of time and money. The kids didn't seem to happy about it and it was a lot of money overall spent on food and drinks for a few minutes of lights in a few spots.

Went there with the whole family on a weekday. Wasn't so busy, which was nice. Saw a lot of animals!

Love it here. Better than San Diego. This is more kick back. Walk and explore on your own time.

This zoo is okay, as far as zoo's go. I'm not going to bother comparing it with others Zoo's. It's great for a workout, and to occasionally see the animals, but it is often crowded, has terrible security and safety issues, and their animal care facilities seem to be more about visitors, than for the animals themselves.

Nonetheless, I'm giving it three stars, because if you live in the area, this is basically only choice when it comes to a local zoo.

Great for the whole family, very affordable, parking is free and you can bring drinks and snacks.

The exhibits seem pretty run down. Not much character to the park. No snow leopard, black bear, jaguar, hippos. Most places only had one animal. Not much shade. I debated about going to san diego but wanted to go somewhere closer but not sure if it was worth it. Lots of walking between exhbits.

The carousel ride was nice, cool animals to sit on. Parking was plenty.

If you able to go to san diego zoo, i think youll enjoy it much better. If you been to the woodland zoo in seattle, the woodland zoo is way better. If you need an afternoon to kill this may be ok for little kids.

I didn't go to the Zoo but I Like to Hike the in the Area behind it very nice and Accommodating too

loved the zoo the animals were beautiful and the employees were kind and helpful

I took my 2 kids (3 and 9 months). The staff were knowledgeable and took the time to speak to the kids in words they would understand. We're members but always have a great time.

I can't believe how much has changed in the 30 years I have been coming to this Zoo. Now it is my kids favorite place to go. The Condor Consrrvation Center is a great place for kids of all ages. They have great member benefits too!

Fun Zoo with active animals. Adult price is $21, seniors over 62 are $18 and children under 2 are free. The zoo is close to Hollywood and China Town. There is also a small train inside the zoo that takes you around the zoo, you have to pay $10 adult and child $5.

Great for visiting with kids. Parking is convenient and prices are reasonable.

Even during COVID the zoo had so much to do and see. My daughter had a blast.

The LA Zoo is a great escape from the concert jungle that LA is. With great exhibits like the jungle of the Amazon and the reptile pagoda. The bird show is only on weekends on weekdays they do an open training session. Also remember that there is a back road with a couple animals that people miss if not traveling by tram.

All the animals got put away super early.. needs ASAP water REFILLING stations. I dont like to drink much soda.. food was ok

This is a fantastic zoo. It is large and can hold alot if people, but you dont feel crowded at all. Very well kept up and lots of employees to help you along the way if needed. It's a great place to see a good variety of animals and things to do. Tons of quiet places to sit out of the way and if the little ones get to rambunctious they have a huge play park to burn off the extra energy. The best moment for me was seeing the big bull (male) elephant with the large tusks. Been to many zoos and never see a elephant with tusks, besides he is a big ham and plays it up for the crowd. Definitely will go back!!

Had alot of fun the best was the Giraffe and the Chimps!!!

Plenty of hand sanitizers are available for your use. It is a great way to decompress from the hectic times.

What a lovely, low key zoo! Well layed out, employees are all very friendly. A must

Sooo disappointed. Its was dirty, not enough water for the animals, need more vendors for selling water, snacks, not enough shade for hot days.

THE PARKING IS ALWAYS A STRUGGLE YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR GOOD PARKING HERE. THE EMPLOYEES WERE POLITE.

Had a lot of fun was very relaxing and enjoyable and was very fascinated with seeing all the different types of animals.

Too big to see in one day. The animals are very active and seem content!

I liked it a lot and my children, there are many animals and very clean ..

Not too bad for 20 bucks. Kinda sad seeing some of the intelligent animals in there though. They look sad / lonely.

went for the holiday light show. It was horrible, most of the lights werent even on. The water show was not well seen. Only the people in the front could see.

It's nice to have family time here! But beer is too expensive thou...

The zoo has a vast selection of animals to view, feeding the giraffes is a must since they are the most adorable animals I've seen. Seeing the animals is amazing by themselves but having the extra material to teach you about them is a great plus to have. I would highly recommend this place to anyone

Great place for a family outing. The kids loved it.

Many attractions close.. $17 per adult and $12 kids( 2 y and up ). It's not worth ! Don't lose your time.

A lot of animals were not available. Adults walking around without masks. Kids running around unsupervised. A place to get a drink, at the beginning of the zoo, no where else.

Worth the $136 for a family pass (w/ student or military ID or senior) we would have paid about 90 for 2 adults and 3 kids under 12. They have a park for kids inside the zoo and you are allowed to bring food/drinks.

It's a great place for children and adults to go visit.

We went just to finally get out of the house and see some scenery in a safe way, and this did not disappoint. We love zoos-especially to do some amateur photography, and this is the closest zoo to us. It's a pretty normal, average zoo with some newer and some older enclosures, but you can still tell the animals are well taken care of.
The area is super hilly, so if you have a bad time walking (I walk with a cane), I suggest a motorized wheelchair or the tram if it's going (use the playground stop or the tram stop after that one to be generally going downhill then use the Australia stop to get back to the exit).
They have timed ticketing, all the circle exhibits blocked off so you can't go in (because they are too close but you can still peek in), some one-way-only, some food stalls and indoor reptile house closed, and a mask mandate for Covid-19 restrictions, but in all, you still get to see the majority of animals and definitely the favorites.

Its a cool spot to take my lil ones for a nice family day out. I got a family pass @ 150 for the year 2020. U can take food in for lunch/ snacks and there's a schedule bus u can pay for the day, cool if u go early u can jump on and off all day so less walking.and did i mention free parking?!

It was ok. Great ticket prices, but I wasn't too crazy about this place. Restrooms were clean, walkways were clean. There is alot of resting spots and shade. It was very packed, weather was hot and the lines to get something to drink or eat was just ridiculously long. The animals were just laying there. It was very boring and some of the habitats didn't seem very attracting to zoo visitors. I guess all that matters is if the kids enjoy it and if they're learning from their visit here, then it's worth the visit.

This zoo was one of the first zoos to arrange its exhibits by region instead of type of animal (all monkeys or bears together regardless of where they come from), and I like getting to see which animals would live together with each other. It's also a botanical garden (my parents say the first time they took me there as a baby, I just wanted to look at all the plants!), and the animals are in nice habitats. This is a favorite place for my family to take the kids, and they especially love getting to feed the giraffes! What a fun place!

Pleasant day. The family had fun. But the zoo is showing its age with many exhibits closed and the exhibits starting to show some shabbiness.

Grandkids loved the holiday lights display. Definitely worth the trip.

Amazing zoo ! So many varied exhibits, many small activities, great dispersion of drink and food vendors. Fair prices imo. You really get your money's worth

This is a great zoo. There is a lot to see and do. Totally worth the money.

Great place to spend the day... Best part ... No lines !

LOTS OF PEOPLE ON THE WEEKENDS BEST DURING THE WEEK LESS PEOPLE .PREPARE TO WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES ALOT OF UP AND DOWN HILL WALKING ALOT GO ON A COOLER DAY TO ENJOY THE PARK BRING YOUR OWN ICE CHEST WITH FOOD AND DRINKS TO AVOID OVER PAYING FOR FOOD AND DRINKS.

Not as best as San Diego zoo but still fun place for kids and adults.

I loved the place it has beautiful places to go and the food is amazing, it s a good place to go with your family I recommend for other people to come here but the only thing that got on my bad side was that a woman, we bought this hot Cocoa it was good but she didn t fasten the cup well so when I drank some drop on me and burn me but everything was amazing I will come back again.

I always come with my family during the summer.

Great place to take the family. The elephant demo was awesome. They do need more signage around the park. They have a lot of passages that split off and it s easy to take a wrong turn.

Other than the bees Everything was great I love seeing the animals and the gift shops have lots of cool things I recommend going
