One of the best Zoo's my family been to. My Granddaughter loved the fact that you can feed the animals. There are rids and so much to do. Will definitely be going back!
My 2 year old thought it was the most awesome thing that he was able to feed the seals! It is all dirt paths so dress accordingly, and they only except cash once inside the zoo.
I came to the zoo with my little family today, nice zoo, BUT where are the zoo keepers? We seen a guy putting his umbrella near the panther, struggling to get it back, kids going in the little remodel they have going on, could've hurt themselves, && a child in the duck/swans area splashing && scaring the birds while my son && niece was trying to feed them, parents just starring at them like they could've hurt the animals! Or the animals could've hurt them, tickets are expensive, good zoo to take the family but they need to have zoo keepers around making sure there aren't people fooling around.
Actually the zoo and aquarium are still closed however Dillonstar no star in the name, barbecue restaurant is open next to the zoo entrance good barbecue and the tables are next to the large aquarium tank was fun watching the sharks and stingrays along with other fish swimming in the enclosure
Love this zoo because it's not all about putting the animals in cages for the poor creatures to be gawked at. Seeing a good portion of the animals being in open enclosures able to roam freely, interact in their communities and actually live instead of just existing is as beautiful as it is educational.
I have been here a few times each better than the last!
This place is amazing if you want to see an abundance of different species. However your best time to go is when it is cool outside, there isn't much accommodation for the patrons for shade or even misting systems during the hotter summer months.
Nice zoo and the animals are closed by the place its clean and well maintained
We had a great time at the zoo today. But the restrooms really needed some attention. My 6 year old son didn't want to use them.
Loved it! My only complaint is that my allergies went out of control because of the dust but it was worth it!
The park is wonderful, but it is very large, so it would be nice if they'd offer a tram service to get from one area of the park to another. They use trams for paid tours, so it can't be that hard to add trams to help visitors easily access all sections of the sprawling zoo. The biggest issue and the reason for 3 stars, is that they state that no "outside" food is allowed, but the food they offer is incredibly expensive and made poorly. We paid $5/soft pretzel and each was ice cold & soggy. $4 for a bottle of water.
A little pricey but I understand all the work that goes into it. Please clean up the garbage hidden on the grounds. Some people are slobs.
Wonderful zoo an aquarium with helpful rides around the park. Great for families and not crowded.
It was really fun to explore and see so many exotic yet so interesting animals, they have so many different animals from birds to gazelles. And I'm a bird person so I enjoyed most of the birds. And you can hand feed some of the birds there. If you are bored and really have nothing to do besides the same old same old, then try going to this Zoo with family friends or just by yourself for that matter!
Great place, my kids love it especially the log ride when it's hot.
So many different birds! Some of the parrots talked to us. A little dirty/gross in places, hence the 4 stars.
Lots of great exhibits, the animals were all very lively. My favorite part was the bird feeding, so definitely try and take advantage of that! They also have several small rides. We went on the log ride which was cool because you go right by the aquarium and can see some fish from the ride. We also got quite soaked from it, so it's a great summertime ride. The petting zoo was also fun, though the deer were scared of me since I'm quite tall.
Beautiful place, awesome animals, just a bit pricey ..
Great zoo and aquarium. Much better than Scottsdale aquarium or Phoenix zoo.
What can we say we love this place. You can get up and close to the animals. In all the times we have visited we have always seen something new. They continue to grow and offer a great and educational experience. Price is high but so is the normal zoo, but like a zoo get a membership. Get there early there is a lot to see and adding more. Oh and never pet the panther.
So much to do and see here. The animals interaction is excellent. You can tell they really care for them well
So so day.
Not worth the money... and there additional rides are GREATLY OVERPRICED!
If you do go... get to one of the parrot feeding times.
Took my son here for the first time on his 6th birthday. We loved it. We were so close to the animals, a giraffe even surprised him by licking his hand.
Great place a show the kids some animals and learn a thing or two
One time, when I was much younger, I went to the zoo with my family and we were attacked by bees and swarmed by peacocks! It was terrifying but a memory I'll always treasure . However the zoo has gotten so much nicer since then. Id definitely recommend I LOVE the zoo.
It was so much fun to see the animals! We went on the train tour and tram tour. Both take you places you can't go to on your own. Be warned: food and rides only accept cash. So either take it with you or pay the fees to use the ATMs there.
This was a genuine experience.. very clean, animals are very active, and best part was all the rides there. What a gem this zoo is. Ive been to many Zoo's and this is up there in my books with San diego zoo...
Really nice variety of animals. The zoo is very clean and the animal enclosures are spacious with lots of enrichment. It's quite large as well. We were there over 5 hours and didn't do and see everything.
It's pricey but if you purchase tickets on groupon, you will save since bucks. Fun for the family. Especially rhe aquarium..loved it.
The place is kind of trashy. Not very clean and the animals don't look very well taken care of.
This place is massive!! It took us 3 hours to walk the whole zoo, and we didnt even do the petting zoo!!
Admission is expensive, but definitely worth it. Lots to see, lots to do. Very child friendly. We will definitely be coming back
Lots of different animals. Environment not very good. Felt bad for the animals. A lot enclosures with painted backgrounds and concrete bottoms and fake trees. The Tigers were stressed and panting and it wasn't even hot out. Rows Upon rows of cages. I have never been to a zoo before and this will be my last. Truly heartbreaking. If you want to teach your children about animals watch plant earth or something. Don't support a for profit zoo.
It was hot when we went but it was still good. The animals we're all fairly active for it being 104. Overall it was awesome and everyone was so friendly and we all got to make some memories. We got to feed stingrays and giraffe
Really liked going here! 6th grade field trip, but awesome for any kid. They have a baby animal nursery, petting zoo with deer and goats, you can feed giraffes and birds, pet the stingrays, they've done a really good job!
for those that are bad mouthing this place saying the animals look "sad" and "starved" this zoo is a rescue center. all of their animals can't live in the wild and come to them sick or hurt. prices are high because that money helps pay for the bills to care for these needy animals.
Such a fun place. Many animals and they are all pretty easy to see. They rides are fun, and the little ones love the train, petting zoo and playground.
Had a great time with my son, lots to see more than expected
Very wide variety of animals aquarium and rides. Could take two or more days to visit this place. Has grown a lot over the years. I really like the cougar over your head enclosure.
I love this zoo! It does seem a little pricey but you can always find coupons.
Lots to see. Wonderful zoo. Love the aquarium. It's so unique to this zoo. The attractions (additional fee for those on top of admission) are hit or miss if they're operating, but we did the sky lift ride and it was very worth it.
Be ready for lots of walking. The walk around the zoo is 5 miles, I believe. Great zoo for kids. We saw SO many animals. Tigers, lions, tortoises, giraffes, pygmy hippos, zebras, etc. Many, many birds. Worth the trip!
Decent zoo and the chair lift is fun but the washrooms are barely above outhouses. Very unsanitary.
You can really see the animals and actually touch some animals. They also offer rides and different options for your viewing options. I do feel it's pricey.
Great place...animals close up...not over crowed...nice gift shop...like going to Odysea and Zoo in one visit
125 bucks buys you a year membership. Almost every dollar you spend here goes to the animals and make the park big... The park is already 250 square acres
Visited Dillon's restaurant for dinner. The views are spectacular! If you choose to sit inside you are surrounded by an enormous aquarium and outside you are seated right next to the flamingo exhibit. The food is decent but pretty basic.
I have been to many zoos. Never have I been able to get this close to the animals. A great up close experience!!
It was ok. Very far to drive from Chandler. The zip line wasnt operating when we were there and certain areas were shut down. We couldn't visit the kangaroo area because it was closed. Just a mediocre zoo, I prefer the Phoenix zoo.
The best place to go for the day. Bring your walking shoes.
Everyone was friendly and the rides for viewing were very fun
Actually pretty cool, still reopening after Covid-19 but was pretty fun. The zoo would be even better if they but the sky line through the whole park. Then it would make more money
This is a great place to eat and check out the animals. We shared it with family that had never been and they really enjoyed the beautiful and huge aquarium. The service is always excellent.
Love this zoo better than phoenix, its more pricey but theres no hills, more animals, and they don't nickel and dime you on everything
You get to feed birds that come and land on you and that is so much fun. You also get to feed giraffes and that is also really cool.
