Southwick's Zoo Reviews

Couldnt be happier about this place. They are always amazing.

This is a great zoo. Very close to Providence. Many different and exotic animals and every summer there are always new babies which tells me the animals must be relatively happy. Bigger than Roger Williams Zoo and more interactive areas to get up close and personal and learn things about different species, too. We love the sloths, the lemurs, the tigers and the mandrills.

The kids had a good time. Petting and feeding the fallow deer was really cool.

awesome place..i have been to number of zoo's but this one stands out.. do not miss it if you live around..

My favorite zoo on the planet! I love it here. Today was my second time. My girlfriend and I did the Rhino encounter again to donate towards Rhino conservation. What a great experience and cause. Betsy is the owner and an amazing person.

I went here for the christmas light drive through with family, and was super excited that we got to see some deer. They provided music to put on while you drove that linked up with what you were driving by, with signs along the way to ensure you were on the right song for what was coming up. Also went to the part where you walk around, had socially distant santa, trees that light up synchronously with the best of music, food, drinks, and beautiful lights. I hope they do the christmas lights again next year, I will definitely go again.

I had a wonderful time great place to go with the kids or by yourself i am sure i will be going back

Great time, friendly staff, beautiful zoo. We Will be back again

A fun place to take the family, learn about anamals and get some exercise.

Love this zoo, go a few times a yr and if I lived closer would go more often

Great Zoo! Tons of fun and plenty to do if you want to spend the whole day there from open to close! Perfect for kids and is all wheelchair accessible!

Great Zoo for children and families. Could use a few more bathroom locations though.

We had a great time at the zoo. There was some confusion finding our way around and finding a few things, but this could have been us! It seemed slightly overpriced to me.

Restaurants are closed, and I m hungry. Vending machines are either non-existent or out of order, and I m thirsty. If I could rate 0 stars I would.

Very confusing admission pricing. Rundown, animals with limited space in many areas.

Solid zoo. Very clean and such a great variety of animals. My kids had a blast!

Beautiful zoo, knowledgeable staff and large deer sanctuary to walk around in. Highly recommend for all ages. Great food nearby post adventure.

Great zoo. Excellent restaurant that overlooks the zoo as well. AAA discounts.

Favorite zoo by far. The deer Forrest and parakeet exhibit are fantastic

They had an event and made my kid very active and motivated to learn. It was great.

A SUPER GREAT PLACE,ZOO & FOOD,HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Beautiful zoo with lots to see and do! Ride a choo-choo train, take a trip around the zoo on the skyline to get a birds eye view of all the animals, feed adorable little parakeets, interact up close and personal with baby goats, feed an abundance of deer in the deer forest, take a camel ride, take a break and visit the playground.. and so much more!! Great deli offering salads, wraps and gluten free options. Other concession stands offering food, snacks and refreshments throughout. Bathrooms were very well kept and spotless! Beautiful giftshop offering clothing, jewelry, stuffed animals, ornaments, magnets and so much more! Staff is friendly and informative. They will answer all your questions about the animals. Drive thru the zoo or walk around on a wide range of terrain (bridges, gravel, concrete, mulch, wood chips etc.) Wear sneakers!! To reiterate...there are small hills and inclines throughout the zoo. This zoo does NOT have completely flat, concrete terrain. Strollers and Wagons available for rent. Masks required. Hand sanitizer stations throughout the entire zoo! This zoo is great for all ages. Great variety of animals from BIRDS (Peacocks, Flamingos, Parakeets, Macaws etc.) WILD CATS (Lions, Tigers, Leopards) MARSUPIALS (Kangaroos, Wallabies)
REPTILES (Snakes, Lizards, Turtles etc.) HUGE variety of MONKEYS!!... and so much more.

Southwick zoo is the largest zoo in new England. One of the best I've been to and I've been to different zoo's all across the states. The owner personally thanked me for my review that goes to show you how great the owner and all the staff is, if you want to send me some gratuity passes my address is 1 hall pl lowell ma I usually go 2-3 times a year with my family of 5. Ha ha

They take adequate pre-cautions during the pandemic, as much as could be expected. The zoo is great and really has a lot of interactive parts for kids. We have been to zoos all over (Chicago, Atlanta, Omaha, etc.) And this one ranks up there with the best we've been to. Omaha is one of the best and this is only a few steps down from that. They do a great job! Fun for the whole family!

Winter wonderland night was a bit underwhelming. Far too busy and unorganized. Hour(s) long lines for train ride and Santa. Too many people bumping into one another in the maze. The circus type show in the tent was nice. Just too many people. 3 stars because the zoo itself is great during the normal season.

Totally a good time for all . Beautiful tigers, funny monkeys, just awesome animals. Alot of walking. I really loved the skyfari.

Animals appear to be well taken care of. A fun and educational experience for children of all ages!

I fell in LOVE in this zoo.
Everything is so clean. The animals look well taken care off, healthy, with clean surroundings.
The employees were super hands on disinfecting the areas, providing sanitizer for the customer, making sure guidelines were met. Everyone had their mask on.

However, they have very clear intentions of creating a one way traffic throughout the zoo. You can see it on the map online AND the one they provide upon arrival BUT, once you get to there the signs are not very clear and it can be confusing.

Overall a great experience, can't wait to visit again!.

Lots of different animals to see and learn about. Activities throughout the day to learn more about the animals. There are kid specific rides and rides more oriented for adults and kids. The deer forest is very cool to walk through. Bring quarters to get corn from the machine to feed the deer! They love corn! They will come right up to you if they think you have corn for them. Be careful with small children because the larger deer can get aggressive. The small deer are perfect for small children.

It was fun and different experience riding our vehicle inside the zoo

Tickets are a little pricey but worth it. My kids had so much fun as did I. We will definitely be visiting again real soon.

Very nice zoo. A good selection of animals, lots of kangaroos, including an Albino. Lots of monkies, white tiger, tiger, lions, giraffes and much much more.

Visited the zoo with my son and granddaughter for Father's Day and had an excellent time. Not inexpensive, but a good value. Wide variety of birds and animals, rides for the kids, plenty of snacks and drinks scattered throughout. Excellent show with the parrots, very entertaining and enjoyable. We had a great time.

My parents used to take me and my sister to Southwick zoo when we were little. This is my first time back since then.

This zoo is the best!
It is extremely clean and the animals are well taking care of. The zoo staff is amazing, they are friendly, happy and caring.

If you have never gone to Southwick's Zoo before I highly recommend that you go with your family, friends or even just yourself, because it's a must experience.

Awesome day and the train ride is the best one ever

The best zoo I've ever been to with wooded area all around

Great place! Lots to see and do. It's clean and the staff is attentive.

I must say Southwick is one of my favorite zoo's to go to with the family ! It's so interactive and fun. There offer a variety of activities for everyone!
