Red River Zoo Reviews

It is a small zoo, the the price is very reasonable (at least compared to any big city zoo) and it is fairly well curated. Two hours here is plenty of time to see it all.

Went to Boo at the zoo, kids had a blast seeing the animals and trick or treating as we went.

Great local zoo that is lots of fun for families. Hosts many events and has a passionate and dedicated staff who are great to interact with!

It was a fun place to bring the kids with a lot of places to escape the heat. staff was friendly and told the kids all about the animals they were looking at

Didn't realize how big it was. Amazing exhibits, they all have water features. And rare animals that are all so happy. Great zoo!!!!

We live this zoo so much. Just the right size to do I'm a few hours!

It's a small zoo, but the animals are well taken care of. Small kids live it, and it has a very reasonable entrance fee, or a membership. It's also a nice place to walk around and get some exercise, or play Pokemon Go. It's wheelchair accessible as well. There's a carosel, and a great playground.

Great way to spend an afternoon. Just enough to see and do. Fun exhibits and the kids love the carousel!

Pretty small zoo but fun to see the cute animals in a crazy Covid-19 time

Inexpensive and very clean good educational way to spend time with kids

We had my (our) son Daxton's birthday here on a Saturday afternoon. The initial contact regarding having the birthday there, was met with professional and happy staff. I dealt mostly with Mason, who was always available to answer my bazillion questions ha! I was able to bring my own food, the zoo had a wonderful cake as part of there package. As well as punch,cups,plates,forks,napkins and table covers! Certainly saves time having to get all of that n set up! The kids had unlimited carousel rides, the opportunity to have a zoo docent show them 2 critters up close(a turtle and blue tongued skank)while giving them some education on each and allowing them to ask questions too! Also, the birthday included zoo admission, so the kids were able to wonder around and see some of our cold weather animals:) It was a great experience. No complaints whatsoever!

Beautiful setting. Great place to spend the day no matter your age.

It's a nice little zoo. A bit pricey especially if it isn't one it's discount days. It was worth the visit for us coming from Texas. Loved the prairie dogs and red panda.

Its okay there are some animals i just wanted more that why this ends early have fun if you want to go bye!!!!!!!!

Its a great little zoo, I wish they had more funding for more interactive learning throughout the day but overall not bad

It's a zoo. It's not the greatest zoo, but it's the only one we've got.

Went for the first time ever, smaller than I thought it'd be but it was a great time for the whole fam. Thank you!

Love going to the zoo. A real gem! Conservation focused and educational.

This is a very small zoo. Clean, but the enclosures are small for many of the animals. Had a super nice Carousel and play area for younger kids.

My toddler loves the zoo! We have a season pass and pop in for an hour or so. There's always something going on to see!

It's always a treat to go there. I get in my steps for health and have the joy of seeing the birds and animals.
I'm in a walk group with two friends and we love the Wednesday morning Walk Program starting at 7AM to 9AM. We go inside the carousel building at 9 to have coffee, water, and a couple of donut holes while we listen to Sally as she shares the educational component with all of us. It's very interesting and tons of fun. It's an ever changing zoo with a big heart.

A nice zoo, well maintained and fun for younger kids. Being expanded for larger (non-farm) animals would be great for the metro.

The sloth needs an attitude adjustment like no one's business!

A great place to spend an afternoon with kids. We love going and my grandchildren especially enjoy being "hands on" with the goats and feeding the animals that are allowed to be fed. Lots to look at and you can also enjoy a bite while sitting at a picnic table. The new areas are beautiful and very kid friendly. Also, at the end of our time at the zoo, we all enjoy the beautiful carousel. Great for families with younger children who don't want to travel a long distance to see some unique and familiar animals.

Even in the cooler Fall, it's a nice place for a visit. The animals are more active in the cooler months also.

Great place to bring your children for a couple of hours and it is fun for the adults too.

Fine animal loving folks here trying to do good work.

We went on a cool day but their was still a lot to see. It was a school field trip.

Great little zoo to bring the youngins! The facility is well kept and the staff is very friendly! Follow them on facebook to see some of the great events they host, many are free and the kids love it! Can't beat a free event at the zoo when you want to take the kids out for a day!

To expensive for 30 animals you see in the winter. Maybe good for really small kids.

Honestly the smallest zoo I've ever been to and it doesn't take long to walk around and see everything but it's still enjoyable and definitely a spot to bring the kids. Staff was friendly and helpful while I was there.

the zoo is small, enough attention is paid to animals. the enclosures are clean, the animals are healthy and well-groomed.

Nice Zoo. Clean, animals well cared for, very nice exhibits.

Pick up lots of quarters to feed the animals. Many will eat right out of your hands.

Nice and fun for the whole family. I loved walking in and seeing a sloth immediately on your left.

Love the Zoo! Lots of great animals. Fun and relaxing place to visit often!

My favorite small zoo. Small but all of the residents seem happy and well cared for. The wolf pack is not to be missed.

My kids have a blast here every time. If you live in the area, the annual option is well worth it.

Fun time with the family and I got all slobbery feeding the cow. Lol

They have great events here. They also take good care of their animals.

Pleasant open spaces & a surprising variety of wildlife make RRZ a welcoming & joyful destination for all ages.

Date of Visit: 10/13/2019 - We had a great visit to this zoo! Having grown up with the Minnesota Zoo (in Apple Valley, MN), this zoo seemed quite small, but we really enjoyed how quaint it was. We also enjoyed that there appeared to only be 4-5 families walking the zoo while we were there, so it was almost as if we had our own personal zoo to ourselves. The staff we encountered by the front door was incredibly friendly, however, the staff we encountered by the carousel were not friendly at all. We stopped into the shelter to take a quick photo of the carousel and were glared at the entire time. Only took us about 30-45 minutes to walk the entire zoo.

The zoo is good and everything, just wish they would have a cheaper admission fee for winter being all the animals aren't available. Just a thought

Great local zoo, they do a good job at re-investing their funds back into the zoo.

Beautiful Zoo, staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Zoo was well kept and clean. The enclosures look nice and large enough for the animals. Other than the heat of the day we went, it's a really nice Zoo, but with a few air conditioned buildings it was just fine, the prices of concessions is about on par with any Zoo or family attraction nowadays. Will definitely be coming back for another visit in the future.

Enjoyed a day with my family, and took some pictures of the beautiful animals, so cute!

Sad. Sickly animals in a sad environment. Not a real zoo. Just real depressing

We were most impressed with the meticulous upkeep. Fargo should be very proud of its little Zoo. When I get old I want to work there.

Nice, little zoo with some very nice grounds and eating areas, along with small little concessions placed in convenient areas. The staff is very friendly and willing to answer any questions you have. It is definitely worth a visit.

Neat and interactive attractions. Always neat to see this place!

Super fun for the family! My daughter loved feeding the animals and watching the otters play.

Small but nice! I enjoyed the exhibits! Spent about 2 hours walking (its small, but I like to actually watch the behavior of the animals). Definitly a place to check out!

Very small zoo. We were disappointed. Literally took about 30 minutes to walk through it. Quite expensive ($10/adult and $7/kid).
The Como zoo in Minneapolis is bigger (and free, but suggested donation of $3 /adult $2/child). This is what they should charge.
Winnipeg zoo is about 10 times bigger, about 3-4 hours to walk through and $20/adult or $10 per child. Much better value.

OLove the sunrise and sneakers. Great thing to do in the morning.
