My family lives the zoo! It’s the perfect distance for my young kids and I to walk from opening until their naps or for my whole family to spend time together at. We’re pass holders so we never have to worry about how long or short a trip is. Giraffe feeding has been a hit with my kids and they love the petting zoo. The train ride is simple, but my kids love it. The ride is the perfect wind down at the end of our visits Paul, the Tuesday/Thursday driver is the BEST! Since the exhibits are small and close together, you can see a LOT in a short time. Which is great for my kids’ tiny attention span. The signage at exhibits is wonderful too. Every staff member I’ve ever interacted with is kind and loves to share about whatever animal is nearby. They do animal encounters as well where you can Q&A with zookeepers. The playground equipment is pretty central which is great for a pit stop. The only down side is that it’s most appropriate for ages 5-12 and there are a LOT of younger kids that visit during the mornings. My kids have always found things to do on the equipment that’s safe, but I do wish it had more for their age group.
This is a nice zoo, but the day we decided to make this trip, it was way too hot. We only stayed for about an hour. I was thankful they had a splash pad. If you are coming in the summer, I highly recommend bringing clothes for the kids to get wet in. The people working at the front gate were not that friendly, and while my Tulsa zoo membership shows we get in this zoo for free, they said I only got 50% off. No big deal, I just thought they could be more friendly about it. All other staff we encountered were very friendly, including the girl selling food for the giraffes. Overall this is a nice little zoo. One thing I didn't understand is why they didn't have any maps for the zoo. It was very difficult to find what we wanted to see without a map.
The staff was very helpful and friendly. This was a pre planed trip so to show up and have to start it out sitting out a storm. It remained gloomy most of the time there that I feel made the animals depressed. None the less, with rain and sun, it was a great trip. Part of the Zoo was closed due to renovations which was a bummer. There wasn't a whole lot of people so it was over crowded and made for a nice day. Out side of the main food area by the restrooms it was a bummer that the food stands were closed. They have all kinds of vending machines spread throughout it, ice cream vending machines and drinks where the ones I seen the most. It's $4 for a soda from the vending machines and the food court wasn't much better. They have a nice deck with table and chairs for customers to sit and eat right next to a playground for the kids to enjoy while the parents take a break, it's a nice little playground too, so cute. The bathrooms by the food court are decent for the amount of use they get, from the looks of it staff keeps up with the bathrooms pretty well. All kinds of cute animal statues all over the place along with giant paintings of butterfly wings and Peacock that you can stand in front of, definitely fun for the kids as well, my 7 yr old stopped at every single one for pictures. Over all, it was great fun, the animals look in great shape, the petting zoo was a blast, staff was awesome and I couldn't of asked for a better day thanks to how friendly and fun this Zoo is. I'll definitely be going back on a day that it's not storming so the animals don't seem so bummed.
Great zoo, lots of animals, and chances to interact with them. They have a petting zoo, splash pad, and train tour inside. We loved getting to feed the giraffes and seeing the giant 85 year old tortoise. The snake exhibit was our daughters favorite, they had a corn snake out that she got to pet. They have maps available at the front, and easy to read signs all over the zoo. The food and drink machines only take single dollar bills, so take plenty of ones. They also have a restaurant inside if you want to get a meal. They get bonus points for the cold water fountain and bottle station at the front. So bring a bottle with you, it is a lot of walking.
Zoo contains all continent's animals for ex - famous animals from each continent. They are mainting very well. Complete zoo walking area around 2 to 3 km . They have very, very big turtles and a large number of PeacocksWhite Peacocks, Giraffes, Lion,Tiger and Elephants....etc. it's having a good collection of reptilie families as well.
I do enjoy this zoo. Week days aren't over crowded. Good variety of animals and not so big you can't see them all in one visit. Just like any zoo anything else you buy is overly priced $12.50 for 2 Chicken strips and some fries but overall a decent zoo.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$16–20
This zoo is perfect for all ages, so much to see and do my family and I had a blast. You can even feed the giraffes for just a couple of dollars, they give you lettuce to feed them. The zoo also has a train inside too.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entry$16–20
No hippo kinda sad day for that but overall 4.5 is about right. Took my 1 day from 3 years old daughter to there for first time ever and she wanted to see the flamingos and hippo . It's great zoo though over all. I believe the ice cream needs thrown out because bought a Dippin dots and it was some kinda of freezer burned not sure how long it's been in that machine. Kinda bad to think about.
Very nice zoo. We preferred this one over Branson's. They had a lot of animals, and the price for entry was very reasonable. If you love Peacocks, this is the place to go!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitPrice for adult entry$16–20
This is our favorite place to come when we are in town. We came here as young married. We have brought our children through the years. Now we bring our grandkids. The weather was perfect for the animals to be out and not too hot for us to visit them. We had an incredible day and, as always, made new friends.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$16–20
