I like big zoo's, I do... but not the way I like ZooWorld. It seems much more a personal experience here. Your not 30 yards away from the animals here and you can see the much more up close. Came here years ago and enjoyed it and decided to try it again and loved it again. I think the best... More

Me and my husband took the kids here, a 9 year old and a 2 year old, and neither one was interested. I wish someone would've told us in the parking lot how suckish this zoo was. Not too many animals.... Ex: No elephants, rhino's, giraffes, etc. I wouldn't take my family back on a FREE day! More

I took my kids there and they won't go back. My young children immediately started making comments like, "mommy he looks so sad", "mommy they need a bigger cage", "mommy can we let them go now"? My kids have been to many zoos around the country but this was by far the WORST zoo I have EVER seen. I could... More

Our kids really enjoyed our visit to Zoo World. They liked feeding the giraffe and really got a kick out of the talking birds. The wolf show was also a big hit. More

Not a big zoo but a good way to spend a good part of the day. A variety of animals to see and a play area for the young kids. They had fun feeding the animals and could get pretty close to alot of them. Might not be bad idea to bring a picnic lunch for yourselves too! More
