Oregon zoo Reviews

Visited from AZ. Loved the shaded walks and animal areas. The elephants were really active in the water. Great to see. Everyone wore a mask on the inside areas per guidelines which was very nice.

Mask requirements made us feel very safe. There's a lot too see! We particularly enjoyed watching Samson the elephant doing some training in the pool.

Such a lovely way to spend an afternoon! The zoo is a quick train ride from downtown Portland. Admission is a little pricey, so look for discount tickets online. The animals are in very large outdoor spaces, so there is a lot of walking down wide pathways to see them. Make sure you see the "bat cave" and the otters!!!

I love Oregon Zoo! There is soo much to look at. The whole park is filled with different plants as well that are labeled, facts to check out at every exhibit and of course bunches of beautiful animals! We loved spending the afternoon walking around and enjoying it all! Finished up the day with a delicious elephant ear!

Beautiful and well taken care of place for families with kids and anyone who enjoys nature and animals.
Animals are really well taken care of and the staff makes it an easy, well mapped out flow for visitors!
I was lucky to visit in a 70F cloudy day, but I ve seen places dedicated to cooling off if you visit in the summer.
Also, there are plenty of restrooms, sanitation stations and places where you can get food.
Love it!

Had an absolute blast!!!!! The key wasn't necessary, honestly I think we saw 3 spots. The pizza was delicious, the grounds were well kept. The staff was incredibly friendly, even kicking us out at 5:30pm, they were nice about it. The animals are beautiful, and new otters, and bugs coming soon. The chitlins had a blast, grandma and grandpa really enjoyed this fun little trip.

Great Zoo! Every exhibit had an active animal. There are helpful signs, wonderful views, and a large variety.

There were a handful of closed items, but not enough to be a problem. We went in the morning and it wasn t too crowded until 11:30a or so. We didn t eat here but there are options for food that doesn t seem too expensive (for a zoo).

They don t do much to enforce the mask policy, most people are ok about it though.

You're the best things I've ever been to personally. Comparing it to the San Francisco and Oakland zoo it just barely edges them out I really like the long path that the elephants have. They have a nice variety of animals. It's well shaded so even on hot days it's not unbearable and of course it's fine on cool days. One thing to notice that there's a petting zoo which can be fun for younger children. Depends themselves are really well organized if you read the signs you'll never miss any of it. The staff is friendly and resourceful so if you have any questions just ask. Portable animals include bears goats tigers cheetahs elephants elk giraffes red pandas lemurs monkeys lions both River and sea otters. Definitely go if you have the time but if you miss it for other stuff in Portland I'd understand.

We love everything about being members of the Oregon Zoo! We enjoying walking the beautiful grounds and visiting different animals on different days. Somedays we get a yummy treat (elephant ears) and have lunch (their pizza is yummy also) on the lawn, while watching the Birds of Prey Show (hopefully it will start up again soon). The carousel and train rides are fun and we always look forward to our beloved zoo lights in Dec. Happy members past 8+ years.

Excellent Zoo. Loved visiting spring covid since it wasn't crowded and very spacious.
