It is inexpensive and a no hassle experience. Parking is close and free. You can buy crackers to feed the animals at the front gate. It is fun for all ages. There is a very nice park right by the zoo so bring your lunch and spend the whole day there! more

We visited the Greenville Zoo with our children, ages 2 and 4. The animals were easy to see and appeared well cared for. There is a great play station for toddlers next to the giraffes.

This zoo is typical in that it keeps elephants on crowded concrete floors where they develop arthritis, and are kept away from their families. Elephants need large spaces, and families spend many years together. Elephants are not domesticated, and are often beaten if they get out of line. Many zoos have stopped their elephant exhibits, and sent them to sanctuaries,... more

We just visited the Greenville Zoo and were pleasantly surprised! It was small as expected, but very nice and fun. It was in a beautiful setting on the hill with lots of bamboo and trees. There were elephants, Giraffes, Lions, Red Pandas, Alligators, Flamingos, gorillas, lemurs, monkeys and birds and a nice reptile house and a petting area with goats.... more

This zoo is a big waste of money! We went to the Greenville zoo and got suckered into buying food for the animals...yeah big joke! A baseball player could not get the food to most of them! We left there with over half the food because the one animal that would have eaten it (the pig) had a sign that... more

While I would definitely not travel any distance to see this small city zoo, it makes for a lovely afternoon out. The grounds are nice and well maintaned with wonderfuly hilly pathways. The restrooms are in generally good shape, and the staff is all incredibly friendly and helpful. It took us a little over an hour to see all the... more
