I loved that the animals... - I loved that the animals had space to walk around. The different sections made it very interesting, for example the African Safari with their zebras and giraffes.

Well worth the time and money. - After reading reviews we were on the fence, do we go or not? We went. And boy was it a great experience. We felt the enclosures at this zoo are among the best you will find in any zoo. Plenty of room for the animals to roam. Sure they occasionally won't be visible, I'm fine with that. The bear enclosure was fantastic, large, plenty of room for the bears to roam and plenty of observing areas. The orangutan exhibit was also fantastic. Lots, and lots of space for the animals to move around in. The same can be said about the gorilla exhibit, and pretty much every other animal enclosure. Clean, no smell like some have said,we were among the first to get in on a Friday in early September and we were done shortly after noon. If you like to wander and take your time, absolutely do not hesitate, go.

Music insensitivity for animals - It was a nice zoo. However playing a loud music/band is not okay for certain animals. The singers weren't that great anyways, sounds like they’re having a practice not a concert LMAO. Better not to play music. It hurts in the ear. And concern are the animals.

So disappointed. - Our extended family stopped here for a visit on a larger road trip. All age groups are represented. Overall, it became a joke walking around because so many exhibits were empty and we started joking about what if the zoo no longer had animals. It was difficult to navigate, and we were seriously disappointed. What a waste of money this was. We heard a lot of other guests saying the same thing.

Customer service is disappointing - My 5 y/o son’s boots were taken while he was playing in the Zoonasium. The response from staff was and continues to be insensitive and disappointing. There wasn’t anyone in management available and I had to beg security for a ride in a cart to the front gate. Staff’s solution at the time was to offer tickets to the carousel. MY SON DIDN’T HAVE SHOES. (We don’t travel with a backup pair of shoes.) Takeaways: 1) Closely watch your shoes if you visit the Zoonasium 2) Good luck if you encounter any challenges while visiting the Woodland Park Zoo. I hope they treat the residents better than the visitors.
