Zoo Cafe

Lots of beautiful animals that have huge habitats or multiple medium sized ones they can move between. The zoo keepers are super friendly and obviously love the animals, happy to answer any questions. Even during the day, the glow event was really cool. They also had multiple play grounds throughout for kids to run around. Only downside is I wish there would be signs for areas that are closed and the train ride was disappointing for what it was

Disclaimer, my wife and i are zoo enthusiast, and visited this zoo along with 6 others this same week. The little zoo with a good selection of animals. Low entry cost, and wide pathways make navigation pretty easy. There are two distinct areas, one half is older and the other half is newer. Even the older side was good. Good: entry price Multiple viewing areas for most exhibits Wide pathways Good selection of animals Easy parking close to entry Bad: They opened 5 min late We waited 25+ min (after they opened) to get in There was a constant line to buy tickets all day Signage for animals off exhibit could have been clearer Overall they would have gotten 5 stars, BUT there is no excuse for me spending 25+min in line to buy tickets and enter the zoo. We were not even at the back of the line as we had arrived early. I would expect some may have waited close to 45min. We did two loops in about 3 hours. You should plan 2 loops as some animals will not be out or visible at all times.

We visited on a sunny warm day following a bad cold snap. Almost all of the animals were out and enjoying the day. The zoo has made quite a few changes since our last visit and everything looks great. Animal enclosures are clean and most give the animals a lot of space and enrichment. The best was Kevin, the zoo's baby Black Rhino! He is ADORABLE! THE Penguins we're very social and vocal with visitors and made for a very enjoyable experience.

Great weather and a nice place to walk around with a couple of young folks. The paths were nice, even, and not too steep for a disabled guy to walk. Unfortunately many of the animals were napping during the warm afternoon time. I suggest going when the animals are more active so that you are more likely to see them all.

Our visit impressed us so much, that we left with a family membership! I've been to this zoo a handful of times over the last decade, and today I was blown away by the improvements! Many animals have much larger habitats, trash/recycling can everywhere to help keep things clean, hand washing and sanitizing stations anywhere you look, multiple play grounds for all age kids (& wheelchair accessible)... There is always room to improvement & expansion at any zoo, and there were several projects underway. The best way to support the zoo is to go visit! Thanks for the wonderful family day Little Rock Zoo!
