The Franklin Park Zoo is an oasis in the heart of Boston's inner city. Spectacular lion exhibit and habitat. Beuatiful huge indoor/outdoor gorilla exhibit. Fabulous place to relax with children and enjoy seeing the animals, and not so huge you need a golf cart to see everything.

The zoo grounds were a mess the zebra's live in what looks like an old parking lot with a fence around it. If you have ever been to a good zoo don't go to this one. It has some good animals for younger children if they can see them in the distance. I wouldn't waste my money. Boston has so much more to offer don't bother
