What travelers are saying
- Stay149354108121 contributionFantastic museum & zoo. Some of the zoo exhibits have not been able to replace animals that have "aged out" because of Covid and its after-effects. However, you can still see cougar, ocelot, bobcat, Mexican Grey wolves, etc. The reptile exhibit is great - at least 8-9 different rattlesnake species. Beautiful and informative grounds. Just an all-around great experience.Written October 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- RoadbirdsChicago, IL421 contributionsGood for all ages and fitness levels. Lovely any time of the year. Many hikes of different length and difficulty and a handy “crawler” shuttle for those less energetic. Tip ride the crawler up the length of the road and walk back along the road to stop 1 then ride the rest of the way. Obviously avoid hiking at peak heat times in the summer, and tailor your clothing to the weather. Bring water whenever you hike.Written July 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Claudia IGlendale, AZ129 contributionsSo much history!
Military and commercial planes both inside and outside.
If you get tired of walking you can pay extra and do a train tour, narrated : an easy way to learn more about some of the outside planes.
