This zoo is the perfect size to either take a morning or afternoon with the family. The have both inside and outside exhibits and plenty of animals to see. They've also recently had quite a few babies born within the zoo, which is very exciting! In the summers I recommend checking out Zoo Brew. A fun evening for adults only. Make sure to also stop by when the keepers are doing their animal talks. You can see the animal (usually) a lot better and learn a ton of great facts!

This has always been a good zoo. It is small and easy to do in one day. They have been making new habits and improvements over the last few years. All the staff are friendly, helpful and informative.

Wow, this zoo is absolutely amazing considering it's located in a small City compared to larger zoos in New York or San Diego. This place is an absolutely must go if you are looking for a fun weekend to hang out and get some awesome pictures with animals. Icing on the cake is that they offer beer events at the zoo during special events.

The zoo is clean and always has good programming going on. It's also good for children. However, it's a small Zoo, so as I've gotten older I've wanted to go less and less. Seeing the animals in such small confinements is really disheartening, and I wish the city would do more to expand the zoo so that the animals could have more rich and vibrant enclosures that mimic their natural environments much more. I just find it more and more frustrating every time I go that the city refuses to give up its golf course so that these animals don't have to live in tiny cages. That's what I end up thinking about every time I go away from this place. So if you're there for an event, or you have kids, it'll be a good half day or 3/4 of a day. But if you're an adult just going because you enjoy conservation or seeing happy animals, this probably isn't the place for you. I'd hold out for Henry Doorly in Omaha.

Very small zoo but great for young children. My children’s favorite part is the playground and petting area. I would recommend eating prior to arrival since the safari cafe is expensive and the wait is long.
