★★★★★Solo travel
“Huge, well-maintained zoo. I can see why it is one of the top rated in the nation. I was there 5 hours and covered the entire grounds but rushed through a few places. You'd never guess that you're in the most populated city in North America.”
★★★★Family
“Wonderful zoo! I loved that they have several animals that are very familiar and common place at other zoos and also some animals that I have never even heard of before like the tree kangaroo. Definitely could spend an entire day easily.”
