City of Aurora- Phillips Park Zoo Ray Moses Drive, Aurora, IL 60505

"I didn't take the time today to checkout the entire park. The only part I was interested in was the Mastodon display. It is one of the Earth Cache's I wanted to get done this weekend. The inside display is small, but detailed and will give you lots of information. Once done in the center, walk out to the other side of the building to see the statue of the man digging bones. It's pretty nice. If your kids are into dinosaurs bones, this is a nice place to bring them. It is free. There is also a free zoo, but I'll need to check that out next time."

"Phillips Park has so much to offer there is a trail, they have so much land you can have a cook out in the summer, they have a beautiful sunken garden, historical area, small zoo, park and golf course. it's a fun place place to visit"

"Came here tonight to drive thru their little Christmas light show. Super cute, and plenty for young ones to look at. Close to home and was free so bonus! Definitely recommend their lights if you have a little one obsessed with Christmas. Enjoy!"

"The mastodon lake used to look beautiful, housed many birds and small animals. I dod not see many evasive plants but one or two here and there. For some reason they destroyed 90 percent of the trees and plants. Does it look clean, no because instead they should have focused on the trash clean-up in the pond/ lake. It looks disgusting now, no shade while running, have seen fewer animals now including the fish that used to go by the edge and stick their tails out."

"This is a nice, small park. Perfect for an afternoon away from the house. The garden WOWed me! Beautiful! The flowers were gorgeous! I could not stop staring at the flowers - make great photos ;)! Right next to it is the zoo, which is also another place to explore. All in all, it’s a very convenient and small park to go to in a beautiful day! if you want to enjoy colors and flowers for free- definitely go there Will most definitely return!"
