Greenville Zoo Foundation

It was okay for a small zoo. We enjoyed seeing the leopard and orangutans the most. My grandson was thrilled because he loves animals and those were two he had not seen before. There were also lions which he always enjoys. Only one small snack bar is offered. It only takes about an hour to traverse the whole zoo so we were able to see all his favorites two or three times.

As someone who has frequented bigger zoos in the past, I think this zoo is quality for the price of entry and the size of the space available. Some of the enclosures need to be updated and the exhibit descriptions are better for children than adults. There doesn’t seem to be much in the way of engaging enrichment for the animals since many of them were facing the back of their enclosures the keeper side clearly waiting to be fed. I think there are certainly better zoos in the southeast, but again, I think this one is on par for what you pay.

Unexpectedly great zoo! For a zoo on the smaller side, it was great! The animals are situated in a way where they are easily visible and the setting is very natural. The zoo is easily walkable with small kids and all the animals were out! We even saw a lion roar!

It's small but cute. Perfect to go to & just walk around for an hour or so... Price is fair, too. Go early or on cooler days, as with any place with animals, you won't see much movement from them when it's really hot outside. The baby giraffe is adorable!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitPrice for adult entry$11–15

We enjoyed our time at the zoo. It took us about an hour and 45 minutes to walk the entire length of the zoo. It is laid out well with a circular path winding through the different exhibits. We were able to see all of the animals with the exception of the anteater who must have been hiding. It is very affordable just $23 for me and my wife together, we booked our tickets online witch saved $4 total.

Took my niece here while on vacation and she really enjoyed herself. The Zoo is small but has a large selection of animals including lions and giraffes. I also got to see my favorite animal, the Giant Anteater.Visited onWeekdayWait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$11–15

First zoo experience for grandchildren. It was the right size for little ones and their attention span. It took about an hour to an hour and a half. The zoo was developed properly layout and easy to navigate. There are ample sitting spots to rest or animal watch as well as restroom locations. Play areas are placed appropriately throughout the zoo. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and very well maintained. Exiting the premises is challenging from the parking lot closest to East Washington Street.

We got free tickets and went here over Memorial weekend... it was sprinkling, so they weren't busy at all. It's a small zoo and doesn't take long to walk the whole thing. The gardens are beautiful and well taken care of and so are the animals. We always enjoy the giraffes, lions and monkeys, but this time they had some sort of lizzard. He loves people they said, and he followed my grandson all over near the window. It made his day! It was our 2nd time visiting this zoo and we will definitely be back.

Very cute little zoo. Took only about 2hrs of pittling though. There wasn't much but the few they had were cool. Expected bigger and the gift shop they have wasn't stocked and bare. Could have been better but was a good little detour. Been to the Detroit Zoo in Michigan and that's an all day thing! Which I expected but it's ok.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$11–15

This is not a huge zoo but what the Greenville Zoo lacks in size it makes up for in quality. We have visited a number of times with family from out of town plus special events Sippin' Safari. You can be in and out in 45 minutes or take your time and spend hours. Highlights are the giraffes. There is plenty of parking.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$11–15
