Reviews

An amazing, outstanding zoo and a true jewel of Columbia. They have quite a large variety of animals, the layout and landscape are top notch and the animals all look very healthy, well-cared for and have plenty of space in their exhibits. And the garden is very beautiful as well. Clear your schedule, you'll need quite a few hours to see all this zoo has to offer but it's well worth it!

The zoo was awesome! There were a lot of nice animals, and the enclosures/habitats were more than adequate for the animals. Healthy animals! My favorite places to visit had the flamingos and the lions. They had a grizzly bear, which I had not seen before. The botanical gardens were nice, as well. Small, but nice. There is a tram that takes you from the zoo to the garden. It took me and my partner about 3.5 hours to do the zoo and the garden.

This small zoo was awesome! Exhibits seemed nice bringing the animals up close but giving them some space too. Giraffes were galloping around, gorillas were performing for us and just a beautiful day. The cost was about $20 military with discount + $5 parking. It was well organized and easy to navigate.
