we took our kids on a mini vacation to the cleveland zoo. we heard great things about it. dont get me wrong it was a nice zoo but just wasnt what we were led to believe. last summer we took them to the pittsburgh zoo and that was absolutely amazing and in comparison to the cleveland zoo completely outshines the... more

To me, this is what a zoo should be. There are lots of animals, both expected (lions, polar bears, giraffes) and unexpected (reindeer, wallabys, red pandas). The animals have plenty of space and look well cared for, but there's never a long walk between exhibits; there's always something to see. The camel ride was the highlight of my 3 year-old's... more

Cleveland Zoo has a vast amount of animals from all over the world. The park is nicely mapped out in sections, with a tram that takes you to various destinations. A full trip would take about 8 hours. The Rainforest which is located on the parking lot is a must to see. more

We enjoyed our day trip to the Cleveland Zoo very much! It seems as though you can get very close to a few of the animals, more so than at the zoo closest to us (Pittsburgh). The staff were very friendly and the concession prices were reasonable as well. It is quite a trek up the hill to the primates... more

I took 3 of my kids for a quick visit over Saturday on Memorial Day weekend - we were in town only for that day and a night, so we did not have a lot of time, but the zoo seemed to be more family friendly for the kids I had than the Rock and Roll Museum, especially on a... more

This is one stellar zoo. Period. I've been to many of them in many different states as well as others within Ohio and, to me, this is Ohio's best and one of the Country's best zoos. Even adults with no children will like this zoo. It is a bargain as it includes a wonderful large aquarium, zoo, rainforest and the... more

Was there when the zoo 1st open, so not many people. My brother-in-law (single & 30's) tag along with us (husband & 2 kids). He had just as much fun as the our 4 yr. old. Touch & Feel exp. was great! Zoo started to get crowed after 1pm. IF going start at the top, ape & monkey area then... more

This is a great zoo. We also love the Rain Forest. A beautiful setting and well taken care of. A very nice food court and lots to do to stay busy. more
