Hillcrest Park Zoo 1208 North Norris Street, Clovis, NM 88101

"Considering it was January, the animals were oddly very active. Not a lot of grass in this place, it's almost all dirt, but the animals all looked happy and healthy."

"It's always amazing everytime we go. It's really nice to see how much they care for the animals here. ❤️"

"I love going to this zoo, I try to go every now and then. There's lots of different animals, and it seems like a little changes every time I visit. It's only $6 for an adult entry. I typically visit during the weekday mornings, and it's almost never busy. Most times, I'm the only one there. I love it! There's signs that teach you about the animals and whatnot. It's also a great place to have a walk. I just wish the zoo was better maintained. It can, at times, look a bit uncared for with overgrown grass and trash. I also wish some of the exhibits were larger because some seems way to small for the animals. Some animals even seem sad and/or stressed. But I guess that's most zoos unfortunately. Overall I'm still happy there's a decent zoo in Clovis!"

"This was a great roadtrip stop (6 & 8 year old)! Outside the zoo there were picnic tables and a soccer goal (also tables inside zoo). The admission was reasonable- and the zoo was not crowded. We were able to take our time and explore the zoo and see many animals up close. P.S. peacocks were everywhere- which was neat."

"I brought my 2 kids here for a mini vacation for Spring Break. I read a few reviews before deciding between visiting Clovis or staying in Lubbock. We visited on Saint Patrick’s Day. The admission is inexpensive. Located in a park. This place isn’t bad, but it definitely needs some TLC and updates. It isn’t big, but isn’t small. Perfect weather. My favorite animals to see were the giraffes! We got to see them drink and eat. There are many benches, and places to sit to watch the animals or enjoy a picnic for lunch! Lots of shade. Very convenient and much appreciated. My son really enjoyed the reptiles! They had their own area. Since it wasn’t at all busy or crowded, we took our time and stayed for about 2 hours. It was very nice to not feel rushed. Some of the animals were sleeping, but we came back around and were able to see some of them wake. You do feel a bit sad for these animals, but they didn’t look or seem to be mistreated. In fact, when you purchase something from the gift shop, the money goes towards expanding tiger’s area and I’m sure other updates to the zoo! I highly recommend purchasing something to help out or donating! Gift shop had decently priced snacks and souvenirs. My daughter picked a monkey from there, and has slept with it every night since our visit. Bathrooms very clean! The lady who work in the gift shop was very kind and informative. My kids loved the visit. Overall, we had a nice experience and will be back. :)"
