We visited Hogle Zoo around 9:30am on a Sunday and had a great experience! We purchased our tickets online while driving to the zoo, so there was no wait when we arrived. Going early was definitely worth it. Many of the animals were being fed while we walked through, so we got to see almost every animal the zoo had to offer. The lions and tigers were the only ones who weren’t very active—they were happily snoozing away! We also got to feed the giraffes, which was a very friendly and exciting experience for our toddler. It was definitely one of the highlights of our visit! The new seal pool and area were great. It was large, and the seals were very active and fun to watch. The food was definitely on the expensive side, but the bathrooms were exceptionally clean and well maintained. My husband even said it was one of the cleanest men’s bathrooms he has ever been in! Overall, we had a great visit and would definitely come back.
We had such a great experience at Hogle Zoo this week! The zoo was incredibly clean and well-maintained, which made our visit even more enjoyable. They have an excellent summer program with student volunteers who were friendly, knowledgeable, and helped make the experience engaging, not only for the animals but for kids like my daughter as well. There were plenty of activities happening throughout the day, so we always had something fun to do between exhibits. One of the highlights was seeing all the baby animals, especially the adorable new baby orangutan baby Weila! It was such a special experience. If you're looking for a fun family outing, I highly recommend visiting Hogle Zoo!!
Wonderful zoo! My kids are very sensitive to how animals are treated and they were very impressed with the space and care provided to all the animals. A lot of great diversity and beautiful animals! We had 3 hours to kill before going to the airport and were able to stash our bags in guest services. It was the perfect amount of time to see everything and not feel rushed.
My husband and I went during the Memorial Holiday. I have never been before. It was a wonderful adventure. We enjoyed strolling through the park and we were able to see all the animals except for the nocturnal ones. But I was so excited to feed the Giraffes, and to see the Polar bear swimming in his pool, watching the Rino walking on those beautiful feet (i kept calling them tippy toes, youll understand when you see them). It was a great experience. We plan on bringing our Grandbabies this summer.
This place was great for what it was. It is relatively smaller compared to something like the Detroit zoo. Definitely a wide variety of animals for a relatively small space but definitely a wonderful place to visit. This is definitely a family place with lots of activities for children. Would recommend buying tickets online as they were two dollars cheaper compared to purchasing at the gate.
