A Hidden Gem of a Zoo

This is one of the best little zoo’s you will find. Located in a beautiful setting with natural animal habitats. Many great events throughout the year and special holiday events too! Fun for any age and a great way to spend a day!

Always a good experience

We are from out of town but have been to this zoo 3-4 times over the last 5 years and we have definitely enjoyed ourselves each time. This zoo has some really cool features. There is a nice variety of animals including giraffes and bears,...More

Once a first rate experience but now being neglected

As indicated in the subject, this zoo has been going downhill the past few years. We live nearby and are members but it needs some work.

Great zoo!

We visit Binder Park several times a year. We love the additions they have been making, especially the lions! We love the walk through "Africa" and even the hike back to the main park. The wetland area does need some work. It's been closed partway...More

Great Place To Visit

This zoo has lots to offer. From feeding giraffes to riding a carousel to face paintings and much more. A few restaurants to stop and eat at too. Kids and adults of all ages love Binder Park Zoo.

Great Family Activity

We've gone two years in a row and we arrive right at 11am so we get to park close to the entrance. The food is phenomenal. Good number of exhibits and diversity of animals. Being able to feed the giraffes is always a highlight.

Very high priced!

Nice zoo but ridiculously priced. Feeding the giraffes is outrageous! So sad because the kids love it. I understand that it's to help fund the animals, but when is it too much? The last raise in prices was to much for me. I no longer...More

This zoo was a great place to just pass time with family when in the area! There prices were also very modest!

Well worth the visit.

This zoo doesn't have as many animals in a small area, but it's well worth your time. There are plenty of interesting creatures there, and they've set it up so you can get a nice scenic walk in if you care to. Well recommended.

Is there any days for free Administration and Parking

Parking is always free, I don't think there are any free days, but if you have a zoo membership at another zoo, they partner with those zoo's and do 1/2 price admission if I remember right.
