Amazing weekend close the animals😊
The lions, elephants, zebra, rhinos.
I love it and my kid too
The place is pretty clean and well maintained
The part I dislike was the fact that the food offers in the park are mostly sweet and fast food, I think the choice is very limited
I truly advise you to bring your own sandwiches and drinks
The set up to visit is pretty well done so you experience the most out of it
Recommendation approved ✅

First of all if you don't arrive at the parking lot at 10am you may waste an hour waiting to park which is inconvenient, the right turn on red at several intersections here should be eliminated!
It is recommended to stay here for two days, one day to see the animals and one day in the water park, there are many types of animals also you can interact with the animals, for example, spend $3 to feed the parrots. The water park has several programs that are very exciting, especially the barrel slides. The rafting program is very suitable for parents and children to experience, smaller children need to wear life jackets. The bumper cars and carousel at the playground are especially popular with children.

Kids will definitely enjoy it. You can bring your own picnic basket.
It's better to plan a 2 day visit and buy tickets online. It's cheaper and faster to go in.

Visited Granby Zoo last Saturday and despite the crowds, we were pleasantly surprised to find no waiting times. Once inside, the expansive size of the zoo made it feel uncrowded.
The variety of activities available was impressive, with the standout being the captivating shows featuring different animals presented by the zookeepers.
However, there was a slight letdown as a significant number of animals seemed to be asleep and unengaged with visitors, almost as if they were completely hidden from view. Nevertheless, the zoo proved to be an excellent family outing that I wholeheartedly recommend. The food court was efficiently organized, and the pricing appeared reasonable.
Arriving around 10:45 am, I was able to secure a convenient spot in the P1 parking area, which is in close proximity to the main entrance. Additionally, purchasing tickets online in advance streamlined the entry process.

The zoo is amazing.
Tons of different animals, lots of different things for kids to do besides look at animals (I.e slides, things to sit on or climb). Animals were out and about!
Very easy to walk through with Strollers - it is a good walk! Not short.
It does get busy but honestly didn't feel too crowded on a Sunday.
Tons of places to set up for lunch - restaurant actually moved pretty quickly. Fries are excellent.
The gift shop is SUPER reasonable for prices - I was shocked.
The craziest part is the Amazoo - INSANELY busy and full I couldn't believe it. Good luck finding a dry corner of grass if you show up after lunch.
But ultimately, you go for the zoo, and it's a bonus that the Waterpark is included. But holy *&$% is it expensive.... $172 for 2 adults and a toddler is nuts. Make sure you order 72hrs before to get the discount (missed it for our visit).

We have been a few times already and this time the animals were more active than usual which was great. The experience, attractions and atmosphere are all really good. Don't miss feeding the birds early or petting the manatees, both at the Oceana section.
The bathrooms and facilities were pretty clean and easily accessible no matter where you are.
My only "complaint" is that the price has risen by 20$ per person since the last time we came 2 years ago so that shocked us a bit but the exhibits and the work they do at Granby would justify it somewhat.
They have a new area in the Asia section under construction so we are looking forward to that next year.

My favorite zoo, super well done for family with young kids, also has waterpark and rides. My only complaint is it's pricey (ticket from 3+ years old) and the park opens only from 10am to 7pm in summer. It's impossible to do everything in one day and parking is not big enough to accommodate on busy weekends. We arrived after lining up for a while in cars to learn that parking is full and have to go elsewhere!!!
