Great zoo .. both the kids and adults love it. The animals are well taken care of and their exhibits are phenomenal. My only complaint is your Customer Service when buying tickets. A little snippity and they don't pay attention or listen.
My 5 and 3 year olds were asking when could we go back to the zoo... even before we pulled out of the parking lot
Even with Covid restrictions, it was a very enjoyable trip.
Amazing how many people will brave a snow storm for a free zoo day
Not too big but lots of animals and lots of new baby animals all the time
Very nice. We went on a weekday so it wasn't very crowded. Definitely feed the giraffs
New animal habitats the put you right next to the animals. Neat place at night with all the lights on the trees.
Great zoo for the family. The zoo was very clean and had a good amount of animals to see. Lots of shade available and places to eat and rest. Also a cool splash pad and play ground for the kids. Anything inside the zoo was extra. However I felt like the prices were pretty reasonable.
We love this place. It's exciting to see which animals are active and playing around each time we are there. It's always different. One time we were up on top above the Wolf habitat and an ambulance with siren blaring went by on the highway below and it set the wolves a howling. I had never heard wolves howling before in person, there is someting deeply eerie and etherial about it.
I love the Hogle Zoo and I really enjoy every trip. Whenever I have guests visiting, the Hogle Zoo is a MUST SEE. I have been a member for many years. The Hogle Zoo does an amazing job of caring for their animals, educating the public, and providing a great overall experience. I was impressed by the way they adjusted to masking, but super disappointed in the patrons. They were incredibly disrespectful, took their masks off or wore them on their chin, and crowded around others. The staff did a great job trying to remind people to remain safe and keep their distance. Aside from the lack of respect from patrons, the Hogle Zoo really is a great destination to see and learn about animals.
Even during the winter some of the animals are outside, if the day is mild
We love this zoo. It is small but I love that, makes it super manageable with 3 kids.
One of the best zoos out there. They have been upgrading over the last few years and are really top notch. The zoo has all the animals you'd expect yet it isn't super huge so you can do it easily in a day without feeling burnt out. The seals and elephants are always highlights. The reptile house and birds are great as well. The Beastro is a fun place to eat.
Free entry was a nice touch on a gloomy Wednesday! Nice little zoo tucked away in the city. Parking could be a bit rough, but again. It was free.
The zoo has just gotten better every year. We've had annual family passes for a couple years now and used them a lot!
What an amazing place to go all year round! Grandchildren, friends and family all usually find several points of interest to talk about four days and weeks after going to the zoo.
It was so fun seeing all of these animals in person. It was like a once in a life time excpiriances kind of moment.
Awesome place to go with the family. Totally recommended.
I ease amazed at how nice the zoo is compared to my last visit 6 years ago. It is not the zoo of my childhood or even 20 years ago. Well done.
Great learning experience and loved to see so many animals. A little expensive though
Friendly employees and fun atmosphere. The zoo is clean and animals appear to be happy!
Great exhibits. The season pass is the way to go, we don't even live there and make our money back after the third visit.
Love the zoo. First time there and had a ball. My daughter enjoy herself also.
Fun, clean, family friendly. Go in the morning during feeding time to see the most animal activity.
Awesome place for kids. They loved every minute of it.
I love the zoo! The Hogle Zoo is a pretty good one. The workers seem to know what they are talking about and are helpful. The animals all seem taken care of and happy enough for the circumstances.
Very fun for children and adults. They have a wide variety of animals and must seen to have adequate space and will keep enclosures.
Winter is a great time to visit. Different activity level for animals
Took our Grandchildren. So much Fun. It is always getting better. Our children loved it too when they were small and my husband when he was small.
I took this zoo for granted. I grew up in Salt Lake but now live in a small town with a zoo that makes Hogle Zoo look quite impressive. They are always making good improvements, it seems. Worth the visit, even if you are coming from quite a distance away.
Great attraction. Staff are very friendly and helpful & everything's well maintained.
Small, but fun. The zookeepers are really nice and willing to teach you about the animals.
It was nice and compact. We were able to see everything in a couple of hours comfortably. Added bonus for the mist fans located throughout the zoo those came in handy!
My kids loved it. They are asking when we will be going back.
Really likeable experience. Most of the animals were out playing and it was really fun.
Handling Covid amazingly. It felt like we were the only ones there. This was the best Covid experience I have had so far.
Great place to visit with children. Modern, interactive displays, and a wide variety of wildlife.
Cute little Zoo! We went on free Zoo day and it wasn't even that crowded! I'm coming from CA though, so my definition of crowded might be slightly skewed. Overall very nice visit.
This zoo has been a happy place for decades. They always seem to be making improvements for the best animal experience. Fun events here, too!
Went on free Wednesday it was great and so keepers were out answering questions
Me and my husband have annual passes. We love the atmosphere the animals and the goal of conservation.
Very nice zoo, the tiger came right up to me, was amazing.
The Zoo has often themed events, one of the main reasons it is always fun to come back to the Zoo.
A lot of hills. But you are in Utah what did you expect. I love the musting fans pkaced throughout the zoo to cool you off. They have a great bird show.
It has improved so much! I love that the animals have much better habitats. There is an awesome playground too.
Fairly well priced and there are a lot of animals. Its not the biggest zoo in the world but where it makes up is in how close you can get to the animals. Definitely worth it.
I have been to numerous zoos in my time and this one was by far the worst one I've ever been to. Not only was the zoo itself very small, but the upkeep did not seem top notch.
Could be a little bigger...numerous exhibits were temporarily closed, but small enough tour not exhausted by the time you've seen everything.
Very very different than it was when I was a kid some 25-30 years ago! Much better/nicer and a lot less of a dump than I remember it being...just being honest.
I love the hogle zoo. We've been season ticket holders for years and even though it's a big drive for us to get there we love every visit. We have a new experience every time. Repeat visits allows you to not feel rushed and get to focus on a different exhibit each time. We appreciate new experiences like feeding the giraffe ($4 with member discount, $5 without) and the things we do every time like the train ride or carousel ($2/ride) we absolutely love the bird show and go as after as we can. Hot days are no problem with misting fans around the park and the fun splash pad to play in. Lots of shade and there's ice cream too. Even on bad weather says we've had a great time. It's always a good day to go to the zoo. I recommend a season pass.
it was awesome to see all the different types of animals, beautiful zoo. kinda expensive
As far as Zoo's go this place is good, although it's not like there is a lot of competition. The animals appear to be well treated for caged wild animals.
I went in the winter so most of the animals were lazily sleeping. I don't think I'm very lucky with Zoos, in Los Angeles it was the same thing.
The zoo can be fun, but with some of the animal attractions they should regulate how many people are in there at a time and to grip move people along. The monkey/gorilla habitat is a zoo inside itself just to get through without being ran over. It's ridiculous.
Nice and clean. Was able to social distance and felt safe. Great for moms and kids
It was labor day and even though the parking lot was packed, the zoo was still really easy to navigate and didn't feel overcrowded. It is a great place to spend the day with the family. I would give it five stars but I don't fully support the idea of zoo's but I understand their need to facilitate education and conservation efforts. Overall, great experience with plenty to see and do.
I bought tickets online for my family and we ended up not going and I emailed customer service 3 times prior to our ticket date and I've never gotten a response. This is ridiculous.
Recently visited the zoo and the living conditions of many of the animals are pretty depressing. The giraffes are kept in a barn, but let out into a yard clearly too small for them. Many of the animals seemed lethargic and bored. I'd suggest going to the Living Planet Aquarium or Tracy Aviary instead. Much better conditions for the animals, more enriching learning experience, and better facilities overall.
Loved the animals.. prices for stuff is ridiculous like every entertainment place.
