  They had a little bit of everything there I took the little train to get an overview of what I wanted to walk back and see in detail. My only complaint with the larger exhibit since there was no kind of overlooked or Viewpoint where you can see the animals without the fence blocking your view or photos. But there was a lot of room for the larger animals which is something I always look at. The Discovery Center was maybe one of my favorite places lots of interesting reptiles and a fish tank and other displays in there. The penguin Center was fun and the primate Center. I enjoyed the pollinator Garden which is something I have done myself. And the farm section was fun with very friendly goats that people could feed and pet and so on. Restrooms are available though sometimes they're a little farther out from the main entrance. Good walking trails and overall very pleasant experience

  We went in November and the zoo was clean, welcoming and the animals were all out with large expansive areas to move around in. The kids were 5-13 y/o and all had a great time.

  This is the worst zoo I have ever visited. I will give the benefit of the doubt here and say that it was a wildly hot day, so as expected, most of the animals were put away due to heat. The ones who were out were wonderful to see. However, the grounds were in deplorable condition. Unkempt grass & weeds both around the walking bath and within the containment areas. It was unruly, and not in a "natural state" kind of way. The water for the animals looked like it hadn't been replaced in ages; dirty water, dirty troughs, some eveb had algae growing. Which sure, they are wild animals and what do you expect them to find in the wild? Blah, blah, blah. Don't want to hear it. They have a responsibility to the park and the animals to maintain their health and safety first and foremost. Algae and mold can be detrimental to both humans and animals. Do better! While it is an accredited zoo, I honestly can't fathom how. I truly hope the conditions were due to recent weather and this isn't what guests always see.

  Great Zoo! Good variety of animals. Daughter liked seeing the raccoons and foxes the best. Good place to get ice cream after a pretty good walk around the zoo.

  Leaving a 5 star review. This zoo was better than I expected. I’ve been to ATL Zoo, Chattanooga TN, Nashville, Panama City Beach FL zoo and this was the best out of them all. The layout is great a lot of room it’s clean. I recommend going right when they open you will see all the animals because they are letting them out of their nightly enclosures and they feed them so they’re really active . It’s super affordable only $15 too. The staff is also friendly. A lot of animals to see!!! Will definitely go back in the future !! Thanks Dakota Zoo
