I didn't have the best time. I love zoos but this one was lacking. Other reviews say they spent hours here. We got in and out in less than 40 minutes and we saw every exhibit. Most of the animals were asleep or not available. The train is under construction. The food establishments only two were open and didn't have much of a selection of items. I think this place maybe great for children to experience but as an adult, with zoo experiences nationwide, it left me wanting more. We were supposed to be able to feed the giraffes according to the website but there was no area which you could do this. Anyway, did get some photos of the wildlife. So it wasn't totally a waste. Cost us $20+ I think it was $24 but we got tickets online and saved a little. Oh I went in September and the two elephants were being relocated with a few weeks of our visit. Not sure if they are getting new ones but they only had two.
Had a fun time here. Not too many exhibits but the animals are so great. The carousel was a little pricey for one ride and the food was pricey as well. Going to miss the elephants here but hopefully it’ll be good for them and the zoo.
Favorite animal was definitely the seals. They seem to enjoy putting on a show with their swimming.

A very nice zoo! So much to see and fun for families! It was a hot day, but there were sprayers and fans and shaded areas for people to sit and cool off. Highly recommended!
Great weekend activity to tucker out the whole family! You can walk around for hours we went from 10am-1 pm and most of the animals were awake and we even caught a lion feeding and dog show. The food isn't too badly priced either, maybe $9-$10 a person for a burger and kids meals were about $5-$6. The kiddo loved the carousel, brown bears, and lions! It's a little pricy to get it but if you catch a few shows and visit the reptile exhibit it's totally worth it.
A nice zoo very kidsfriendly. Worth a visit if you are in the area.
Recommend to buy tickets beforehand and you save 2 dollars when purchase online.
We came around 1pm during the weekend and it was a bit difficult to find a parking spot but we finally did. Parking is free.
It was a hot summer day mid August. I would recommend coming earlier. Preferably opening.
We were there for 3-4 hours. You won't need to spend longer.

It's definitely a nice little zoo. We enjoyed our time here and spent a solid 3-4 hours here exploring all the exhibits and seeing the animals. Sadly, a good number of the animals were hiding or sleeping, but there is nothing you can do about that. I would recommend checking it out if you are in the area. It was also pretty busy for a weekday. I guess, it is summer so it was expected to see a lot of housewives and kids.
We go here once a year for my son's birthday. It's a lovely zoo! The animals seem happy, or at least content, and the enclosures/habitats provide enrichment. Feeding the giraffes was a really fun experience too!
I highly recommend bringing your own food and drinks, because the stuff in the park is very overpriced.

We always stop at zoos whenever we travel. This has to be close to the best zoo we have ever visited. The zoo was very clean and well cared for. The animals has plenty of room to roam which is not always the case with zoos. It's very disheartening when you see animals in small enclosures but this was not the case here. The animals also had a lot of clean flowing water which you also don't see at every zoo. This zoo was also quite big. When we looked at the website it look small but we where surprised when that was not the case. The Red Panda exhibit was our favorite along with the 2 Harbor Seals and 2 California Sea Lions. We highly recommend that every at this zoo to their to do list when in Salt Lake City.
