Fun but pricey

I absolutely love this zoo. It’s very large! I’ve been there a few times now. Unless you plan to spend a whole day here, you probably won’t see everything. It can be pricey, but the food is good. Otherwise pack lunches! Interesting exhibits, mix of...More

Lego day at the zoo

Lego came out and set up tables for kids to build and play with. They had a character there to take pictures with. They gave out passes for a discount at Lego Land.

Lots to see

I have to admit that I am biased towards my hometown zoo (Woodland Park in Seattle), so keep that in mind as you read this! Brookfield is very nice--it feels a little dated, but it is big and there are very different aspects to it....More

Top rate Zoo that is a must visit!

Very nice zoo that is laid out well and easy to walk. Rain Forest habitat is great and so are some other areas that allow "super up close" viewing. Good variety of animals & more kid friendly than some other zoos. Check out their Calendar...More

Great All-Weather Zoo.

The best thing about Brookfield Zoo is the large number of indoor habitats, allowing you to still have a great experience even if the weather doesn’t cooperate. It was overcast and drizzly the day we went, but we still had an amazing time! The orangutans...More
