Always a fun trip! We rarely pay for parking, since you can usually find parking on a side street if you’re willing to walk. However if you’re going on a crowded day, don’t want to walk extra, and need to save time, the $30 for parking is worth it. It’s easy, gets you pretty close to the park, and you know you’re money is going to a good cause. If you get lucky, you’ll catch a day where the orangutans are out on the o-line! I’ve only seen this once in the last 4 or 5 trips I’ve made to the zoo but glad I finally got to see it!
Loved seeing the animals and loved looking at the exhibits. Only problem was that the place was huge and at one point we lost my grandfather and we never ended up finding him. But other than that it was a great experience and I would definitely visit again. Anyways RIP Grand Poppy Bob.
Understanding the pandemic has caused major stress on attractions throughout the city, the zoo has done just okay. Yes, timed passes, masks, single direction signage and social distancing are great, but that is only one facet. The condition of a few of the exhibits and animal enclosures were clearly in need of attention. Specifically the cleanliness of the sea lion and otter tanks as well as the great apes. Again, understanding things have changed is one thing, but dirty pools and mice running around inside the ape/baby enclosure seems an easy to address issue.
This zoo is simply amazing. It has a great conservation efforts and it has the most diverse animal collection. Staff is nice, gave me cookies because my mom was a FONZ member. I have been coming to this zoo since the old hippo and giraffe days and will continue for a while!
My daughter loves this zoo. We visit during the week so it's not busy at all. Paid for the parking and the lot only had a few cars. I believe a lot of people walk through the main entrance and use the street parking. Love that tickets are free!
