It's definitely a nice little zoo. We enjoyed our time here and spent a solid 3-4 hours here exploring all the exhibits and seeing the animals. Sadly, a good number of the animals were hiding or sleeping, but there is nothing you can do about that. I would recommend checking it out if you are in the area. It was also pretty busy for a weekday. I guess, it is summer so it was expected to see a lot of housewives and kids.
A very nice zoo! So much to see and fun for families! It was a hot day, but there were sprayers and fans and shaded areas for people to sit and cool off. Highly recommended!
We go here once a year for my son's birthday. It's a lovely zoo! The animals seem happy, or at least content, and the enclosures/habitats provide enrichment. Feeding the giraffes was a really fun experience too! I highly recommend bringing your own food and drinks, because the stuff in the park is very overpriced.
A nice zoo very kidsfriendly. Worth a visit if you are in the area. Recommend to buy tickets beforehand and you save 2 dollars when purchase online. We came around 1pm during the weekend and it was a bit difficult to find a parking spot but we finally did. Parking is free. It was a hot summer day mid August. I would recommend coming earlier. Preferably opening. We were there for 3-4 hours. You won't need to spend longer.
What a great zoo! It's on the small side but still has lots of larger animals - bears, big cats, rhinos, elephants, and giraffes. It takes some wandering to see everything. The entrance is at the top and the rest of the park is downhill to the right with a portion higher up on the other side of a creek. I might recommend skirting the African Savannah to do the back path first and down to the Asian animals, make sure to hit the small animal building, then towards the street and the bears & seals, then work your way back uphill. Or, structure your day around the day's keeper talks - I managed to just miss all of them! The seal & sea lion training would have been great to see. The train wasn't going during my visit and they are constructing a new "wild Utah" area that the train will circle, so that looks like it will be really nice when it opens. There's a fun carousel that costs $3 per ride and plays pop music like "you spin me right round baby" and a decent cafe with friendly staff, though there are plenty of better places to eat outside the zoo and nearby. The gift shop is large and fun, in all, it's a great experience!
We always stop at zoos whenever we travel. This has to be close to the best zoo we have ever visited. The zoo was very clean and well cared for. The animals has plenty of room to roam which is not always the case with zoos. It's very disheartening when you see animals in small enclosures but this was not the case here. The animals also had a lot of clean flowing water which you also don't see at every zoo. This zoo was also quite big. When we looked at the website it look small but we where surprised when that was not the case. The Red Panda exhibit was our favorite along with the 2 Harbor Seals and 2 California Sea Lions. We highly recommend that every at this zoo to their to do list when in Salt Lake City.
Great weekend activity to tucker out the whole family! You can walk around for hours we went from 10am-1 pm and most of the animals were awake and we even caught a lion feeding and dog show. The food isn't too badly priced either, maybe $9-$10 a person for a burger and kids meals were about $5-$6. The kiddo loved the carousel, brown bears, and lions! It's a little pricy to get it but if you catch a few shows and visit the reptile exhibit it's totally worth it.
For it being the only real Zoo in Salt Lake, it's not too bad. They have done a lot of upgrading over the years and are still working on expanding. There are many educational interactives along the way. The staff is very kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. Consessions are more on the pricey side, but usually worth it. The weekends tend to get pretty busy, but lines move fast. I would recommend making a trip there. My family and I will definitely be back!
Hogle zoo has been greatly improved recently. Definitely worth a new visit. Arrive at 9am sharp to avoid the heat and crowds. On an overcast day the animals will be out and active. Three or four hours is enough to see all the exhibits. Highly recommend.
Went for the first time in 10 years with my nephew and it is so much nicer! The facilities are great and the new African exhibit was great. Even in the middle of the day when most animals weren’t very active the polar bear and sea lions were putting on a showVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entry$21–30
