Oregon Zoo, Portland

Really nice zoo! Lots to see. Too crowded most times though. I know it's not the fault of the zoo that they get lots of visitors. It really effects the experience when you're crowded on the pathways and constantly being bumped and cut in front of. I strongly suggest going anyways. Just be prepared for lots of people. The elephant and hippos are my favorite!

Love Portland zoo. Exhibits are really nice. There are lots of indoor places to visit and the landscaping is beautiful. Shops offer really great options. Food is a little pricy but good. If you are in the area this zoo is worth going to!

This zoo obviously cares about the animals. Great paths and multiple view points for most animals. Frequent food and beverage stops. Bathrooms after well placed and ask have changing tables. New engagement center is great!

It is nice considering it is a smaller zoo than a lot of them in the U.S. A lot more food venues than the last time I went there. By the prices they all charge they are making a lot of money from food revenue. Take food in with you. Otherwise it can be an expensive day. Lastly, the zoo train..... The old route took you out by the Rose Garden, was a beautiful trip through the woods and you could get off at the Rose Garden, go see the flowers and then catch any later train back to the zoo. Now they have this 6 minute trip that is pathetic. When I asked about the old train trip, they said it needed some repairs and had been out of commission for 2 years and there was no time table when it would be be repaired. Totally dissapointed that they can't get something fixed that needs to be fixed to bring back the zoo train nostalgia that we all loved. $4.00 for a 6 minute ride. Seriously? Next time, I will bring in my own food, skip the train and enjoy the animals.

Awesome place! I loved the insect zoo and their reptilians were great. Only disappointment was the Rock Python wasn't on display. 😕 Hopefully next time it will be overall a great place. A must try is the marionberry soft serve near the carousel.
