The zoo is located in a beautiful park and is a big zoo land wise, but a relatively small zoo animal wise. It appears that there is a large exhibit called “Dinosaurs among us” that takes up a large portion of the zoo. There is an additional fee to enter this area which we did not do as it appeared to be geared toward younger ages…kids I am sure will love it . Many of the animal exhibits were under repair/construction and did not have animals for viewing. There may have been more shops and concession stands than animals. The animals we did see were beautiful and cared for well. Been to cheaper zoos with more animals, so not sure I would return to the zoo itself, but would definitely return to Roger Williams Park.

Loved the size of the zoo. Some renovations but normal. The elephants were amazing. Wish I could have seen the bison a bit better but couldn’t due to the dino exhibit but this might be off season also. Still wonderful little zoo

Spent the day here with grandkids on a recent Sunday, was bigger than we thought. Everyone had a great time and the admission prices are reasonable. The visiting dinosaur exhibit was a separate ticket (again, not expensive). Parking was free and the staff is friendly and helpful. Nice relaxing day!!!

The zoo was moderately busy and the weather was slightly overcast, so not too crowded or too hot. Loved the exhibits, especially the elephants and giraffes. Thoroughly enjoyed the live bird show. Amazing trainers! Would like to see more activities to connect with the animals, like feeding schedules and talks by zoo staff as well as more signs with names and rescue histories of the animals. Suggest integrating the drink machines and requests for money be integrated better into the zoo atmosphere. Food choices were limited. Least favorite part was the sheer number of strollers and the din of kids talking during bird demonstration. Most favorite part was the bird show.

We had a wonderful time walking around this well-kept, zoo! It’s actually a medium sized zoo, so it’s completely doable in 2 to 3 hours – if you have kids, you will definitely enjoy the playground that they have set up which incorporates interactive nature-based play areas and zoo exhibits. they have various water-based play stations, which will refresh, hot and tired children. They also had a giant treehouse, which was just as enjoyable for adults as it was for the kiddos! The highlight for us was the bird show which featured numerous beautiful and amazing birds, and a very entertaining and educational presentation. They had various birds fly out into the audience and perch on landings, so you really could get an up close view of the birds. The highlight for me was when they had all of these beautiful colored parrots fly over the audience members in a flock! It was truly impressive! I’ve never seen anything like it. They also taught people a lot about, the different birds and conservation efforts. The zoo is a must see stop if you come to Providence!

We had a lovely family day out here at the Zoo, lots of interesting animals reptiles etc to keep the kids entertained. We also paid the extra $9 to do the dinosaur walk through, this was way better than we thought it would be, very clever and the kids enjoyed it. We stopped for food, the prices were a bit excessive $16 for a chicken sandwich, we ordered our food which took at least 30 minutes to be ready.

We visited the pumpkin spectacular on a recent Friday night and it is a wonderful viewing of creativity and fun. We traveled as a multi generational group and everyone enjoyed it. The following day we all went to the Roger William zoo which was also a great enjoyable time for all. My complaint regarding the zoo were the bathrooms ( leaving the zoo on the right) were absolutely awful. If I had know, I would have willingly and gladly used the outside portable bathrooms. I will not going into much detail here but it is obvious that there is no attendance assigned to monitoring these bathrooms. Honestly, it was the absolute worse that I have ever seen. PLEASE consider having someone monitor regularly especially when it would be expected to have many people coming to the zoo. For example. toilet paper should be available in all stalls, wetness of floors is a hazard and offensive and tiny wastebaskets that are overflowing is not desirable. I am sure that your animals are provided adequate sanitation and expect the same for people.
