THELONERANG3ROctober 12, 2011Great trip for your kids especially the treehouse if your child is the adventurous type
Kate JesseJune 7, 2011Pack a lunch and eat at the impala fountain. The mist feels great on a hot day!
Park in the frog lot on the street behind the zoo. So much easier to get out.
Bring quarters or singles to buy food to feed the ducks, sheep and goats.
- Great place to watch Amtrak trains go by on Zoological Drive.
Going to the Summer Ale Fest here is one of the best decisions you could ever make!
L bSeptember 21, 2019Small crowds, but old facilities and not a terribly interesting mix of animals.
Jasmine SerranoAugust 18, 2010Its a great place to bring your children (as an excuse to come yourself)!
Go on a cool day, 60-70, after noon. More animals out and active.
Louie 李景雲 LeeOctober 9, 2011Make sure you see the train to see if you want to pay money before buying . Rumor: adults don't pay.

"A 9,200-acre park with sweeping landscapes and shattering views. There is a feeling that you are part of a whole, whereas in London, in New York or Shanghai you are only part of a section."
