Lisa BlonskiJuly 25, 2013Didn't even go in. Parking lot staff was incredibly rude. Completely ruined my trip
Giovanni CajasDecember 3, 2016Entrada gratuita para un lugar educativo y divertido para toda la familia.
YuliaJanuary 2, 2019Хороший зоопарк. Всем смотреть панду! В хорошую погоду - отличная прогулка. Парковка есть:)
Edison GonzálezAugust 11, 2016Hermoso, lo recorrimos en 2 días aprendiendo y tomándonos el tiempo necesario en cada animalito del lugar.
Elena PetrovaJanuary 14, 2020Сам зоопарк - ничего особенного. Бесплатный. Но! Две веские причины почистить- две гигантские панды😍
На Хоторн стрит бесплатная парковка на 2 часа, парковка зоопарка - 22$
Fabiana GutierrezOctober 20, 2012Tem mais bicho da mina casa ate a escola das criancas do que no zoo. Decepcionante.
