This zoo used to be free with a suggested donation ... now the cost is almost the cost of admission to the Milwaukee County Zoo. Also a lot of the animals were not on exhibit due to the season. Admission rate should at least go down during the winter months since you can't see all the animals. I do feel like they do take good care of the animals that are there though. That is a major pro.
It is a very nice zoo! Lots of the animals were out and that was very nice! Had lots of fun!
Plenty of room to move around. Some spots are closed but still a great reason to get out of the house
Went with 3 kids, under 10, early in the morning and had a pleasant time. It was a fun experience for us all. We ended the trek with the mining experience and was rewarded with some beautiful rocks, fossils and arrowheads!
Love this zoo! Not too big that it takes a long time to walk around but has some great animals. And great habitats for them as well. We come every mother's day as well. Cool decorations for Halloween!!
We're from out of state, and it was our first time to the NEW Zoo! Amazing experience and reasonable price for a ticket. They had by far the best otter exhibit I've ever seen, with multiple waterfalls, slides, and a large open air environment. And the goat bridge! What a unique zoo to explore. Fully recommend to anyone in the area. We'll be back on our next trip here :)
This is a fantastic zoo. I would not plan on a whole day due to size but there is high value for your dollar. There is limited food options but there is a great park across the street for a picnic. The zoo also has fun themed times throughout the year such as "boo at the zoo" and an easter egg hunt. These times the zoo can be busy and require a special ticket but again worth the money. Overall great zoo and a great time.
I went to the zoo two weeks ago with my 4 year old. The website made it seem like I had to purchase tickets online so I did in the parking lot. When I got inside I had not gotten an email yet with the tickets but I did screenshot my receipt. I showed it to the woman working the front counter she said it would take to much of her time to look up the reservation. I had to sit there and reload my email about 20 times till she finally decided to look it up after about 5 people went in front of us. I don t understand why she just couldn t look up my name to begin with. Why she had to make a big stink. Maybe you should rethink the people you put at the front of the Zoo. Maybe put the crabby people who do not want to help others somewhere they re not dealing with PAYING customers. I also on the way out took my son to the gift shop spent approximately $75 and the woman couldn t have been more annoyed and watched me like a hawk the entire time we shopped. I let it go and still had fun but it was a bit annoying just trying to have a nice day at the zoo with my kid. I love how clean the place is . A couple of the animals did look miserable especially the fox. The other animals were out and spunky. I love the really nice play equipment for the kids. Overall it was a good trip like I said just a bit annoyed with the customer service.
Wow what a great place. An amazing layout and flow as you walk around. Wasn't too many animals to see but also not too little. The animals appear to be well taken care of and seem to be out and about for us humans to see. Great place for kids.
Its not the San Diego zoo. But my kids love it. The wife loves it.. and all in all keeps them rather happy. Prices are decent, the gift shop Is expensive as expected. But it was a fun day for the wife and kids.
