Utah's Hogle Zoo

"Going to the zoo was very fun! We got our tickets for 5 dollars each. As we entered we got to see most of the animals. A lot of them were being active too! The only sad part was the elephants being gone, but it was fun watching the gorillas interact with little kids. Great experience for me."

"Definitely recommend purchasing tickets online in advance, you will get a discounted price. We arrived right when they opened, so no wait time and very light traffic in and around the zoo at first. They have a larger sized parking lot. Very toddler friendly. We enjoyed watching the male polar bear swim laps and got to watch staff feed the bobcat and made a scavenger hunt with its food. Unable to ride the train as it was closed for construction. Our 2yr old enjoyed riding the carousel- you do have to purchase a separate ticket for this, the kiosk is located near it. Enjoyed looking through the gift shop for souvenirs."

"Having been to the Denver, CO Zoo, I did not expect this zoo to be very good or big, but honestly it blew the Denver Zoo out of the water! It took 3 hours (without children) to see everything in the zoo, and we saw everything! The enclosures were well maintained and clean, and all the animals seemed happy and energetic, which was a compete 180 from the Denver zoo!! We were able to get really close to all the animals (with glass between us) and got several great photos and videos, and all for just $14 for 2 adults!! I would highly recommend the Hogle Zoo if you are in the area, it was an absolute pleasure!!!"

"We love our zoo! We had a great time in July with the kids and sure wore them out. Lol. We had good appearances from the animals and got to spend good time with them up close! The lion drinking fountain is iconic. There is also a small playground there. We were able to get drinks from the bistro. Such a wonderful place!"

"I didn't have the best time. I love zoos but this one was lacking. Other reviews say they spent hours here. We got in and out in less than 40 minutes and we saw every exhibit. Most of the animals were asleep or not available. The train is under construction. The food establishments only two were open and didn't have much of a selection of items. I think this place maybe great for children to experience but as an adult, with zoo experiences nationwide, it left me wanting more. We were supposed to be able to feed the giraffes according to the website but there was no area which you could do this. Anyway, did get some photos of the wildlife. So it wasn't totally a waste. Cost us $20+ I think it was $24 but we got tickets online and saved a little. Oh I went in September and the two elephants were being relocated with a few weeks of our visit. Not sure if they are getting new ones but they only had two."
