Potter Park Zoo

So much closed for covid-19

There is a lot to do (pony rides, camel rides, bungee jump, etc.) and you could easily spend all afternoon there. My kids had fun and there's a lot of shade to help on sunny days. It's pretty easy to social distance and my kids still enjoy going without all of the usual attractions open.

Was able to take my good friend who is mentally handicap. The zoo staff went above & beyond to make sure we had a great time. Which we did. All the animals were in high spirits and the penguins were belly sliding into the pool. A day that will me remembered. But I live close so I'll go again soon.

I went there on Tuesday, which is Bone Day. So the animals were excited to receive their weekly bone treats. Social distancing signs and mask signs were up. Friendly staff from entrance to exit. Small zoo, but loved the light foot traffic. Peacocks roam freely and its beautiful during the fall. Parking fee: $3 for same county residents, $5 for all others. Plus entrance fee unless you have a zoo card. Enjoy!

For a small zoo this was wonderful. All animals are well taken care of. You are greeted first by the bald eagles! From there all exhibits are natural and the animals look comfortable. The lion put on a great show for us. Glad I spent time there with my daughters family!
