Beautiful zoo. Display areas are thoughtfully designed to provide good habitat for the animals. Educational placards along the way provide information on the various animals and note environmental concerns, status of whether a specific one is endangered or notes progress in restoring a species in the wild. Lots of restrooms, so handy with small children. Walking paths well designed for kids and parents with strollers. Great experience. I don't typically like zoos. This one is very respectful of the animals in their care.
Had an outstanding time here. We chose to do one of the behind the scenes tours. Very informative and got to feed a Sea Otter by hand.
Family fun any time of year. Zoo Lights is our family's favorite annual winter outing. Paid parking is limited so take the bus or carpool if you can, and if you plan to go more than a couple of times a year, you'll save money with an annual family pass. Go on a cool day when the animals are more active. On the second Tuesday of the month admission is $5. Don't miss the otters, sea lions, and elephants exhibits.
This zoo fully exceeded my expectations. Cheap cover charge ($10 off-season), great array of animals, and the design in general is phenomenal! Terrific spacing of exhibits, the animals are encouraged to sleep right up against the glass! I crouched down a foot away from a resting cheetah. Every kid I saw was having a great time too, great family spot. I have no idea how the average visit time is 45 minutes, I easily spent 3 hours here.
We enjoyed the Oregon zoo and the layout of the zoo was great. We were able to see almost every animal out and about. Also the layout made it easy to get pretty close to the animals as well. There were a few of the indoor habitats that could definitely use some deep cleaning or something to try and diminish the odor that was lingering. Other than that though, we would go back and recommend other to visit!
The zoo is very nice. It's on the small side, but has a good number of exhibits. I would highly recommend the trip.
