Reviews
"I absolutely love the flow of this zoo! The habitats are built so that you can see the animals from more than one vantage point. That way, you are pretty much guaranteed viewing. Loved it so much I purchased a membership!! Great zoo!!!!"
"Love the Toledo Zoo! Grounds are clean, lots of exhibits. Orangutans are always my favorite. Got to see the baby which was adorable. Mama was showing off her off to everyone. I bought a membership which = admission for me and one other and free parking. If you go to the zoo more than once per year, the membership is worth it."
"Really awesome zoo experience here. Everything seemed clean and spaces seemed well thought out and organized. You're able to get up close to most of the exhibits to get a better view. We enjoyed our time here. Plan on a 3-4 hour visit to walk the whole zoo, longer if you want to be more in depth. Would definitely come back another time!"
"We love our Zoo! There are many animals to see/learn about. They offer several activities for children to do and even offer classes and camps for children and parents to attend. They put a lot of effort into the learning, games and crafts at their camps and classes. They have a small splash pad that my son loves, as well as many concessions to choose from. Animal demonstrations and opportunities to get up close and personal with animals like the sting ray touch tank. Feeding giraffes and others."
"This is a GREAT zoo with a pretty awesome aquarium added to your original entry price! Active military and our amazing Veterans have free entry. We went to see the new baby elephant and found additional babies were born there this spring. Really awesome!"
