My favorite part of the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is that you truly get an up-close-and-personal experience. I often feel that you aren't given the same opportunity at other zoos. I enjoy going into the kangaroo exhibit and standing right next to these incredible creatures. Going inside to see the koala bears was amazing -- such beautiful animals. Of course, I... more

Cleveland Zoo is great. When I was a little girl is was a bit lacking, but they sure have done alot of remodeling. We recently went and were sad that the elephants gone due to remodel, but they have had the same habitat for way to long! We are excited to see there new home next year! They have it... more

The zoo is a little quiet but great fun. Lots of space to explore and check out. They have a dinosaur exhibit which is a little cheesy but fun for kids. You have to pay an extra $1 to get in but it is fun none-the-less. It is the only zoo I know of that has robotic dinosaurs instead of... more

It might have been a little too crowded but it seems like we really enjoyed ourselves. In spite of so many people we were still able to see all of the animals. The tram was a nice plus for getting around this very large zoo more

We went to this zoo with four kids ages 5 and under. It was a great zoo! So much to see. We spent a whole day at the main part of the zoo, with the next morning at the rainforest. The bathrooms were clean, the food was reasonably priced. The zoo is very large and spread out, so expect a... more

We buy the family pass every year and it is a steal. The zoo is fantastic all year round. The fall is the best time to go because it is cool out, less crowded and the outdoor animals are actually out and about. Avoid the zoo on Mondays though. Mondays are free and traffic will be backed up for miles.... more

I recently went to the cleveland zoo for the 1st time this past weekend. I was impressed with the variety of animals they have, however i noticed that there is almost no staff around at any exibit to talk to you about the animals or answer any questions that you may have. I feel that this could be a very... more

We had planned our trip to Cleveland purposefully to go to the zoo. We are Buffalo Zoo Members with a family pass. According to all literature, our entire family should get into the Cleveland Zoo for free with our family pass. When we got to the ticket booth to show them our zoo membership, the ticket lady gave us a... more

The rainforest was my favorite part. They had lots of animals that I had never seen before. The Otters were awesome, had they been up and playing around I would have been elated. I did get some really great pictures of them. There was a small cat exhibit inside, the cats were really pretty, but the enclosure smelled like they... more
