Yelp.com Review - by Kerry H.

4.0 of 5 stars. My family loved this zoo. We felt it was the perfect size to see everything with a small child in tow. The exhibits seemed well maintained and the animals looked happy and active. We visited on a...

Yelp.com Review - by Gerrit v.

4.0 of 5 stars. Zoos are tough for me. I am excited when we have animals that could otherwise not survive, I guess. Anyway, this one wasn't too depressing. A cheetah, tiger, bear, elephants, giraffes, and all kinds...

Great family fun

We have a season pass to the zoo and go all the time. My sons love to see the animals. They especially love to watch the zoo keepers feed and care for the animals-like the tiger. We especially love the...

Best zoo I have ever been too!

I had no idea how nice the Hogle Zoo would be. My family arrived at 9:30 am which was a slow time. I didn't think $8 was unreasonable to pay to get in. The exibits were great especially the giraffe one. You...

Yelp.com Review - by Elsa T.

4.0 of 5 stars. We were out of towners in February, with my little 14-month old. It's really great because it is outdoors and open year round. We got to enjoy a beautiful day outside. There are not so many toddler...

Yelp.com Review - by Cort S.

4.0 of 5 stars. Probably not a place for out-of-towners used to bigger zoos, but a fun place for the family. You can smell it a mile away.

Yelp.com Review - by Therron R.

4.0 of 5 stars. It's OK for a rocky mountain zoo. You got your normal African safari animals, and the Bird of Prey show is pretty cool. It's no San Diego, but it's got animals that probably wouldn't survive well in...

Don't pick a hot day to go!

If you're planning a trip to Hogle Zoo, make sure you plan it on a day with average weather/temperatures. Choosing a really hot day to go will cause you to miss out on seeing a big chunk of the animal...

Lots of animals by Shannon N. at InsiderPages

There are quite a few animals to see, but it is all just kind of brown. There aren't a lot of trees or greenery where the animals are. The animals don't have much room or things to do. There are so many hills,...
