The zoo was beautiful — I loved all the old buildings mixed in with the new. Also, I was so impressed at how interactive everything was! It definitely was a great time!

This is a great little zoo . They've been doing a lot of renovating and adding new exhibits . If you miss the elephants at the Detroit Zoo , they have a great elephant habitat! New aquarium is awesome.

One of the best zoos in the United States . We had an amazing experience during the winter months as nearly every animal was moving around. Great holiday lights show during December as well . Read more

The new Natural History museum is worth a visit all on its own. It houses reptiles and insects in addition to a free roaming frog exhibit and taxidermy exhibit .

Amanda Mauricio

The aviary foyer is one of the best places to cool down at the zoo . There's a stone bench that is quite cold to sit on! Great for a speedy cool-down. The view isn't too bad either!

Nicole Rovig

Be sure to check out the vegetable garden towards the back. So beautiful! The fruits and veggies are grown for the animals:)

Shannon Horosewski

Jenni Everal

We were there for the Dart Frog Dash 5k and after the race you got to enjoy this amazing zoo for free!! Very Nice zoo !

Jason Davidson

Get there early and plan to spend 3-4 hours to adequately appreciate the various animals, catch the feedings and zoo keeper talks.

DJ Jensen

Check out the Christmas lights while they are available. Make your way to the aquarium to warm up if you're visiting in the winter.

PJ Wascher

Went for the Lights Before Christmas . Fun atmosphere , but not all exhibits are open this time (December) of year.

Barb Oliver

Consider buying a membership it's worth it. This is a great place to take a walk & enjoy the animals at whatever pace you choose.

Amanda Saldivar

Frozen lemonade is a must in the summer! Pay the extra for the souvenir cup if you're a frequent flyer and pay the same price for a refill as a 16 oz

Some of the exhibits are oddly shaped making the animals hard to see. Also, you can’t get close to the giraffes unless you pay to feed, can’t see some animals unless you pay for the trolly...$$$

Discover Ohio

Having a zoo membership in the summer for my family is the greatest all it costs us is gas and food to pack to go to the zoo any day

Grace P

They have a huge blue tree that's one of the top 5 to see in the WORLD!!!! How cool is that! And it's right here in Toledo!

Miranda Fischer

The zoo is fantastic! So many animals to see and fun things to do!

Jon Barsanti

Start in the original section of the zoo and finish on the side where you pay for admission

Emily Babcock

Penguin beach is cool because you can get closer to the animals than before... but it's such a small exhibit that it feels underwhelming

Mike G

Penguin walk thru closed during inclement weather otherwise very nice exhibit .

Faye Oney

This is a nice little zoo . Unfortunately Emerson the tortoise wasn’t out yet, so we might come back to see him. Just an FYI, they don’t accept cash, so bring your credit card.

Sam Ott

The lemonade is amazing and they have a good variety at the carnivore cafe !
