Bring the children - or come alone - this is a great zoo. Wonderful walkways and interesting exhibits. There is always something new and new areas being developed. You'll be surprised to find such a quality zoo in a relatively small city.

This zoo has got to be the best I've been to. The best within hundreds of miles. The layout of the zoo makes it very easy to see all of the exhibits without retracing your steps. The interaction available for kids is awesome. Grownups can also appreciate the private listening experience available at most viewings. The zoo is open 364... More

A fun experience for anyone. There are many areas of the world represented. The zoo is very clean and very family friendly. A tram is available, as well as wagons, strollers and wheelchairs which are a must for many since the zoo covers a large area. The snack bar food is very limited but the facility is nice. In the...

The grand kids love this place, well other then the walking part. Lot of great animals and plenty of places to sit and talk or rest.

We were amazed at the scope of the zoo, and its diversity. The amphibian and reptile exhibit was educational and comprehensive. The elephant training was delightful. The jungle aviary was a hot and steamy enchantment. We arrived when it opened, and eventually we had to leave some exhibits unvisited, since we were completely exhausted and suffering from sensory overload. An... More

The Sedgewick County Zoo is amazing. In several of the new exhibits, you are the one in encaged and the animals have a large area to live in with natural surroundings similar to what they have in the wild! One of the top ten zoos in the country. You should definately go.

I would like to give a better review, but we just chose the wrong day to go. I guess the price would have been right for a good day, but this day was cold and windy. We saw 3 giraffes, 2 turtles, 1 leopard, and a host of geese and ducks. We just did not have a good experience because... More

The city is so very fortunate to have such an outstanding Zoo for our community to have and to share. It continues to expand, and each addition aids its reputation. Many do not know the outstanding reputation our Zoo has nationwide!
