Woodland park zoo Reviews

The best Zoo and SO MUCH to see. Get ready to walk (seriously because this place is big). So many wonderful animals and exhibits but also helpful staff and restrooms along the way. There are animals from penguins, giraffes, hippos, grizzly bears, red pandas too many to share. There s also many grassy areas to rest or have a picnic as well as beautiful carousel for rides.

There are in and out privileges if you get a stamp so feel free to pack a lunch or snacks for the day or leave to the car if you need. They also have an on-site restaurant to order a variety of food options. Also which animals you see may depend on the time of day or temperature or eating times so it always varies. Right now masks are necessary for inside areas.

Very well done zoo. The animals have lots of room, and their enclosers look natural. We missed the dinosaur exhibit, they were taking it apart when we were there. Some animals were not visible at first, but when we went back by a few minutes later they were suddenly out and active and highly visible. So, if you miss the ones you want to see, try to pop back by and you may catch them. I bought season passes for my family that lives there, and then was able to get myself in for half price when we went together. Doing the math, if they go twice, the passes have paid for themselves, and all the other visits will be for free. Definately worth it if you are local. The zoo workers and volunteers were very helpful and friendly. The park was clean and well maintained with lots of shade and seating. Most everyone wore their masks as required.

Great place for family fun! Huge park to get plenty of exercise, good walking shoes recommended. Great versatility of animals in this park. Going early in the day is recommended for best activity of the animals. Prices for admission are fair, but in two visits you could already buy a pass for the whole year.

Hadn't been to the zoo for several years. This is a nice zoo that wasn't too crowded. Easily doable in an afternoon, our biggest challenge was finding our way around. The signage isn't very good and they don't provide maps anymore... Visitors can just download online. Lots of shade and places to rest as needed. Tips... Buy tickets online in advance and try parking in one of the lots on the west or north sides of the park.

Really nice natural feeling zoo, went on a Monday and crowd was minimal. Some attractions closed due to the pandemic but still a pleasant experience.

Loved this zoo. Animal habitats looked clean and well kept. The walk through aviaries allowed us to feel close to nature. The cafeteria was very gourmet. Pretzels and pizza were delicious. Very large zoo, definitely took some time to cover all ground.

Wow! We had such an amazing time here! This is a conversation zoo zoo and it is absolutely stunning! Walking around the zoo is almost like walking through the woods it s so beautiful. Definitely a great price for all the animals you get to see. Tip: you might want to eat before and bring snacks because there was not many food options outside of burgers and pretzels.

I was hoping the exhibits would be open but unfortunately many were closed and being remodeled. Slightly expensive for how many were closed this time. I do have to say the online ordering for food was a huge time saver. Staff was friendly and helpful which is appreciated

This is to be one of the best zoo experiences I have ever had! Really great price. We got to see all the animals. They all seemed so active and happy and healthy! So great.

Unfortunately do to the Vid the experience was dampened. Some attractions were closed. Overall though, always enjoy the animals and the park is lush! Good Fish & Chips at the Food court.
