Reviews of John Ball Zoo
"Did not disappoint! We had a brisk, beautiful, sunny day to walk around, and even though some animals were not out, many were. Great experience!"
"This a great zoo to visit! Took us about 2 hours to walk thru as we took our time. It's neat how the zoo is positioned on a large hillside, with the some exhibits being inset to the hillside."
"When we visited, the cable car ride that takes you up was closed for the season. I recommend taking the walking route up to the station up and then visiting the enclosures on by one on your way down. To do this, when you enter, go in the following order: Aquarium -> Kangaroo/Walaby -> Petting zoo -> Follow waterfall route right up to the train station. There are multiple snack stalls along the way. It's a long walk without any enclosures but worth the effort. The route is stroller friendly. If you have little ones with you, I recommend renting the strollers at the entrance. I like that all the big enclosures such as the lion, tiger, chimpanzees have multiple viewing locations. Due to choices in paths, you are likely to miss: Natural treasure (lots of snakes n lizards), chimpanzee sleeping room, second tiger enclosure, bear and the snow leopard. Backtrack to them if you want to cover all enclosures."
"We had such a great time exploring the zoo! It's so different in its layout and has so many animals to see. The staff was friendly and helpful. We missed the tram as it wasn't operational but it looks super fun! This place will also definitely wear your kids out!"
"This was a great zoo to visit while passing through town. It was the perfect size and we covered everything in about 2 hours (yes, we obviously could have stayed longer, and we didn't spend too long at anyone spot, but we did get to see everything). The funicular was not operating the day we visited, but I don't think that detracted from our experience. The animals have nice enclosures, especially the tigers and lions."
