Hesperia Zoo Review

Animals + High Desert + Twilight Zone = Hesperia Zoo. This place is super fun, but it's not the kind of place you'd go on a regular basis because of the guided tour. I will say, the tour guides mix it up and always have different things to share and tell the guests. I have always wanted them to sell some sort of annual pass that would allow us to roam as desired, and see the animals more regularly. But the fairly rehearsed tour, makes it somewhat repetitive, so we usually only go about once a year. Fun nonetheless, and I'll always enjoy ignoring and then giving that darn baboon one last look that will keep him from flipping out. I will say, this is not the kind of place you'd let your little ones run loose in. The fences and enclosures don't look quite zoo worthy, but are effective. I usually hold the kids hands and keep them close.

This is a neat location, with a fun story, and every animal has serious character. I'm sure the behind the scenes tour is gritty and exciting. Always a treat. If you live in the desert, you must go! Might not be worth anything longer than a 30 minute drive though.

This is an awesome little gem and our tour guide d was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive!

Amazing Halloween experience, They do an awesome job..... Everyone should experience it this year

Very boring, just a few animals that they show you.

They could advertise the business a bit better cause u honestly can't even tell it's s zoo

Small zoo and offer a guided tour only, but well worth it. Cheap, especially with groupon. Its not a huge zoo like LA, but the bwst thing is you get to see the animals up close. The staff care very much for the animals there and you can tell in their interactions.

As a volunteer, this zoo a gooooood place to see the adorable animals here:). Good staff / workers here:)
