Small zoo. Had a pretty good time. Due to bird flu could not see any of the birds but that is very understandable. Some of the exhibit are small thou. Much work has been done there thou since my last visit. Disappointing that all food sales stalls were closed. Maybe time of yr? But that meant no were to eat at the entire time we were there.

The animals had shade and various toys and seemed well cared for which is the most important goal for a zoo.The zoo is on the smaller side but it’s still worth a visit.The cafeteria is newly renovated and food prices as expensive for what you get. $9 for a chicken burger - see picture - made with fried-from-frozen chicken and a single piece of lettuce and tomato. They were out of salads and cheese for cheeseburgers but the most shocking thing was a lack of vegetarian options. There is no veggie burger for example. In a zoo! I’m not vegetarian but found this very odd.

Great experience! There was a nice variety of animals, and though not all the animals were out/in view, we still saw the majority of things in the ~2 hours we spent there. Make sure to bring a hat and sunscreen on a sunny day as there's basically no shade except inside buildings.

Staff very helpful. Borrowed a wheelchair for a member of our family. A little difficult pushing on some of the hills (up and down). Winter sand on some paths need to be cleared. Most of the animals were available for viewing. Enjoyed the meet the keeper" at the lynx cage. She answered all our questions

What an experience, definitely a revamp since i was a kid. Aside from a lot of animals, where hiding or sick witch was sad. Y doughter loved the animals. Greatly appreciated and enjoyed the quality time with the family. I wish they could build larger habitat for the animals and have more activities for the childern for games and electronics studies on each animal exsibt that would benefit everyone.

The experience was not so good. The Birds section was closed, and a few other cages (you must mention this before we buy tickets). Not very well maintained, washrooms had a bad odor, and the restaurant inside the zoo was poorly managed. We bought hot chocolate after struggling with their credit card machine and ended up having a hot chocolate with no taste in it. So better to bring your own food and drinks. Compared with other Zoo's around the world, I can barely give 4 out of 10.

We've been there many times. We love it! It's a new experience every time. There's always a person at the entrance greeting us.Some days some animals are resting, so we don't see much but some days, they're all out.It was nice to see the Arctic wolf and the snow leopard up close, and finally, after how many years of just seeing its head poking out, we saw the huge python out from the rock.Too bad, the fish sculpture with water sprinklers is now closed, my son who has autism loved to play there (in the pictures).We will go back there again, soon.

Had a heck of a good time, took my 9 year old for her first zoo experience and my first in 30 years, was a lot of fun! My only complaint was no paper maps and the app map I found near unusable so we just winged it. Was great fun otherwise!

It was nice experience but zoo is not that much big and not that much animals but good for family picnic and worth spending time. It can take probably an hour to finish all the zoo sights.

I’ve been to many Zoos in the US and this one in Edmonton was fun and entertaining. Not really an all day Zoo, but there is enough to keep the kiddos entertained. We had lunch there and it was adequate and not overly pricey. The staff is great and can answer any questions.
