Unlike Detroit zoo, you can actually find animals and you will not have to look too far, they will be somewhat close to you, so your little one can find them and identify them easily. Polar bears are ... more »

The Toledo Zoo is great...........Always something for everyone. Christmas season has the "Lights before Christmas", with a winter ice slide, and bumper cars on ice. Need to take a try to really under... more »

Easy parking, veterans and senior citizens discount. Great seasonal events. Wine and beer events. Food prices and price for the bungee jumping is the only keeping my review from being a five. more »

Toledo residents, you have an amazing zoo in your own back yard! If you don't happen to live in Toledo, this zoo is top notch. Make the drive, spend the day...you won't be disappointed. The only better zoo is Columbus, but that's quite a drive. We visited from Fort Wayne, and Toledo zoo is by far superior in every category. Check out the reciprocal zoos memberships. You'll probably find that your zoo participates, and these zoo hops are much more affordable! For example, our Fort Wayne zoo membership gives us deep discount admission to both Toledo and Columbus, among many others. We will be back every year!

Nice zoo, but emphasis is shifting to profitability. We recently took the kids and grand kids to Lights Before Christmas and after being lectured about not having my wife's member ID, we toured the zoo. Several exhibits were not open including the elephants, polar bears, apes, rhinos, hippos, museum, bird house, and tigers. Ice rides for $4 to $8 were available though. I didn't see the usual model train and reindeer exhibits. I hope this organization returns to what it does best, displays animals that kids want to view. After being a member for over 25 years it maybe a time to find another Zoo.

Went for the luminous lights and was very happy with my experience. The light displays were very beautiful. I was pleasantly surprised that there was alcohol served during the event that you could walk around with. To top off my visit I was able to see the new snow leopard cubs be fed, that was an amazing experience, they were so cute!!! Definitely going for the Christmas lights soon.

This is a great zoo! Some areas are being renovated during the slower months but that just shows me things are being maintained. The Nature's Neighborhood is a must go for children and toddlers! Animals seem happy and I have seen animals playing almost every time I go through the zoo! They always seem to have baby animals in the enclosures also. We drive over an hour to go and it is worth it every time.

Beautiful and well cared for, the events are fun. Scooter prices are a little high, for those of us on Disability. I would visit more often and am a member, but the ramp over the highway is too m much to do often. Signs from highway are covered by trees frequently so listen to GPS closely
