Reviews
"My family & I love being Lucas county residents, and we like to take advantage of the free to enter on Monday mornings for Lucas county residents at the Toledo Zoo."
"This was amazing!!!! I recommend bringing kids to this museum. Great and awesome learnings and findings!"
"Really enjoyed the time spent here. Wonderful exhibits. Well worth the trip."
"I really enjoyed this place. it gave me a feeling like I was at Hogwarts. (Just my personal feeling) I like how they had exhibits you can interact with and see where the employees work at in the basement. It's free to go in however, of course you have to pay the zoo entrance fee."
"Really beautiful building and exhibits. This building is much less busy than the rest of the Zoo, even during a weekend, so there's room to look at all the exhibits. The displays and exhibits are all beautifully done and the building is very clean. There is a variety of things to look at, ranging from taxidermied animals, sculpted animals, real-life animals and insect exhibits, and animal mounts and bones. Everything is very clearly well maintained. If you want to take your time, I would reserve about 1.5-2.5 hours for this building depending on if you stop to read the plaques and how long you spend at each exhibit. This building is more mobility-aid friendly than other zoo buildings. There is an elevator as well as private accessible bathrooms."
