A great place for families and friends to visit. Food is a bit pricey but it's very good. Staff is very friendly and helpful. If you're planning to buy something from here, bring extra money just in case. I would definitely recommend that you visit Great Bear Wilderness. Plus the Dolphin Show. Take the tram if your feet start hurting, the tram will give you a special tour of the zoo and tell you everything about it
This zoo has a lot to offer. It is nice that there are a lot of indoor options for the cold months. The play zoo and the petting area are always a hit. The volunteers and employees here are always great with all the kids questions and love chatting and educating them.
The zoo that I always went to growing up. I have children of my own now and I still like to come here. Too much to see in one visit. My favorite parts are tropic world (lots of monkeys and apes), the dolphins, and a throwback to childhood, the reptile house. Pretty much any part of the zoo is a good part to go to though. If you go more than once or twice a season, getting a membership might be the best way to go.
This zoo is great where size and number of things to do and see is concerned, but pricey. You can bring in your own food too, which is nice. You can rent just about anything, wheelchairs, wagons, strollers, etc. They have numerous gift shops, dining areas, and snack stops throughout the zoo. The activities they offer for kids are great, but you have to pay extra for most of them. If you look into membership, you may be able to save a few bucks. Which ever way you go, this zoo is an excellent way to spend a day.
Brookfield Zoo is no longer the zoo I went to as a child. A matter of fact it's more like botanical gardens than a zoo. The few animals that are there seem depressed and unhappy. Especially the apes. When their exhibit was built years ago it was state of the art but now is outdated. They need to be outside in fresh air and nature. I recently went to the zoo in Indianapolis and it was beautiful, clean and the staff was great. It almost seemed like the animals had smiles on their faces and actually liked where they were. Habitats were clean and there were indoor and outdoor access to large and natural surroundings. And, there was more than one animal in each exhibit. As for elephants there were four of them and even though I don't believe they belong in zoos they didn't look depressed. In conclusion, admission prices are high at $27 and $7 for parking but it is worth it. The money seems to go to the animals and not to landscaping.
