- Beth SSouth Lake Tahoe, California479 contributionsOctober had good weather, limited exhibitsTransition period had many empty exhibits. The zoo was very spread out with significant hills. Wear good walking shoes. Many concession stands were not open, and they took cards but no cash. I've been to many better zoos.Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 5, 2023
- Karen1616555 contributionsWe're at the ZooWe arrived early during the week... it wasn't very busy upon arrival, so we got to experience everything up close with not to many people around.. food and drink is quite expensive so bring something if you can... we had a great time enjoying our glass wine with the rhinos... great rest stop! Worth the visit!!Visited September 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 9, 2023
- Tracy R52 contributionsA day at the ZooWe were quite disappointed as we walked around the Zoo. We felt that it was quite expensive for the experience. Although, it’s a large site the enclosures were small for most of the animals, the zoo boasts lots of animals but we only saw a handful. There was a new Orang Utang enclosure with one that we saw, apparently it was too cold for the others to be out- but it was an indoor enclosure. We realised that it was October, and the temp would drop, but we weren’t warned about the lack of animals out. The price should have reflected this. The Zoomobile was extra.Visited October 2023Traveled with familyWritten October 15, 2023
- Yeti1988Denver, Colorado218 contributionsWorth the tripI would highly recommend this zoo. It is well laid out and has a wide array of animals. The surrounding woods are beautiful lending to a peaceful, almost meditative experience. This place is also huge, so be prepared to walk a lot, on both flat terrain and inclines.Visited October 2023Traveled soloWritten October 30, 2023
- Stefan OvertonColchester, United Kingdom229 contributionsHUGE Zoo but think again going off seasonEnormous Zoo. We went in January and honestly walking up to the entrance, the zoo looked derelict. No life whatsoever. A couple of the areas of the Zoo were out of bounds and they said this was because of being off season. When it came to the outdoor enclosures, there really wasn’t much life around at all. It was only when we went to the indoor areas we saw a lot more animals. We still saw: Tigers, Lions, Giraffe, Hippos, Penguins, Snakes, Gorillas, Baboons, Giant Tortoise, Goats, Polar Bears, Wolves, Alligators so this was still good but the whole zoo was lifeless. Only found one food area with washrooms in the whole zoo, all food stalls have been shut so I’d say to maybe take a couple of snacks before going. I do genuinely think if I went in the Summer months this would have been incredible so that’s why I’m not marking down too harshly,Visited February 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten February 11, 2024
- Dave LQueensbury, New York45 contributionsFeels like a lot of money for what you get!I love zoos and I really wanted to love this zoo but there was some things that just really dampened my enthusiasm. The first was the fact that you are charged for parking as well as admission. This zoo is not located right in the heart of the city so it's not like space was at a premium. Going along with this theme, it seemed like anything in the zoo was overpriced (food, drinks, etc.). Now, I know that we were not going during the heart of the tourist season so I did not expect everything to be open (they have some kind of water attraction and that was obviously closed) but most of the vendors were not open. Additionally, many of the exhibits did not have animals in them and it seemed like there was an awful lot of walking where you did not see anything. Several of the animals were in small cages and it seemed like zoos that you saw in pictures a century ago! At times, it was also confusing as to where you could find certain areas of the zoo. There are doing a great deal of construction so that could be why things weren't as clear as they could be and some of the animals were not in the exhibits but the zoo still charged full price for a mediocre experience. I'm not comparing this zoo to my favorites (Bronx Zoo and San Diego Zoo) but compared to the Pittsburgh Zoo (where I visited last summer), it was not in the same league! The only reason I did not rate this zoo lower was because they did have some very nice displays but again, they seemed to be far and few between. Most of the time when I've left a zoo, I feel myself thinking that the next time I'm in the area, I will be back. Sadly, this is not one of those cases! It's a real shame too as it was a beautiful day to tour (mid-60s and sunny).Visited April 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten April 21, 2024
- EnglishDragonScunthorpe, United Kingdom866 contributionsNice, but needs a split season cost.Nice zoo but they need to work out a bit of a difference between off season and summer. We went and it was empty, a lot of attractions were either closed or not about and it was a bit of a quiet walk through the park. That said its still a really nice zoo.Visited April 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten April 24, 2024
- AINagpur District, India4 contributions1 day trip to Toronto ZooThe zoo is good, not the best zoo. There are different areas to explore like Americas, Canada, Australia, Africa, all have different animals from that region. The Africa section was the best, lot of open areas and animals to see. Other areas had less, the Indo area was not available fully as maintenance and expansion going on. Polar bear was the best where it was swimming and entertaining the visitors. To reach Canada section it requires lot of walking. It will take an entire day to cover full zoo completely. Tips : 1. Go on a sunny/ cloudy day. 2. The zoo opens at 9 am , Plan your trip as early as possible to cover all areas. 3. Vegetarian options are very less, You can also carry home made food as much as you want. 4. Carry Caps, goggles, sun screen, good quality cameras if you want to click pictures. 5. Buses are very convenient, goes till the zooVisited June 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten June 2, 2024
- helen1218Ottawa, Canada166 contributionsGreat timeHad a great time with our 2 kiddos (ages 7 & under). It’s a bit pricey, especially with a number of animals unavailable due to births & construction (eg. red pandas & snow leopards). However, still a lot of animals to see in a wide variety of habitats. The baby rhino & polar bears swimming were a couple of our favourites. The free maps are very accurate & helpful. I would recommend bringing: 1.) ( you can also rent at the entrance) a wagon / stroller or some mechanism to transport Littles when their legs get tired. 2.) water bottles (there are a number of places to refill). 3.) bathing suit &/or towel for the fantastic splash pad. 4.) packing a lunch & snacks (everything is expensive & there a ton of spots to eat food brought from home). Pro-tips: A.- if you have a presto card you save 20% on admission (per card). If you have CAA you save 10% overall. B.- $30 gets a family unlimited access for the day to “zoomobile” (a motorized train that takes you between zones); you can see animals that are inaccessible otherwise (we passed through the wild horse herd & saw the 2 foals up close), saves time & energy, & the guides provide intersting info on the animals you are viewing. A definite repeat!Visited July 2024Traveled with familyWritten July 9, 2024
- Manda B280 contributionsMust do in Toronto!This was a fantastic experience for our family! The zoo is large and has a wide variety of animals- we easily could have spent 2 days here. There is also a splash park my children loved. The only downside for me was that they do not take Discover cards at all.Visited July 2024Traveled with familyWritten July 17, 2024
