Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

Amazing experience. Had access to most of the animals in the zoo to see them. All of the employees there are very informative and helpful. If theres anything to say is people with disabilities should rent an electric scooter or come with a wheelchair. The zoo itself isn't on level ground and it can be quite the painful workout if you dont plan properly. Overall, 10 out of 10. I'll come back better prepared and do it all over again.

Nice Zoo! My 15yr old and I enjoyed our visit. We really got our steps in!! The weather was warm but not Louisiana hot so we were able to take it! We ride the train, which was a short ride. We ate a meal at one of the onsite eateries and enjoyed a pretzel and slushy from one of the carts. There were plenty of animal exhibits and the zoo was clean and well kept. Paid parking was close by. I’d definitely recommend visiting. Good for Adults and children.

Such a pretty zoo combined with the botanical gardens. Enclosures allow you to see the animals up close and active. A bit of a maze and ended up backtracking a lot. Not many stands for snacks or drinks, so get them when you see them. Overall, though, would love to visit again.

What a great zoo. Their social media account is a big hit with highlightening their ambassador animals: Rico ( Brazilian Porcupine) and Zola, Lulu, and Kiara ( cheetahs). We loved the interactive exhibits ( giraffe feeding, cheetah encounter show). The animal habitats were well planned. Plan to spend the entire day! Parking is inexpensive ( $10).

Pretty great zoo! Very large with lots to see! Bring comfy shoes and sun screen, especially if you have little ones and its supposed to be sunny. Came for Fritz and Fiona and stayed for everything else! Love how active all the animals are, how much space they have to roam, and how well knowledgeable the staff is! Props to the people in the butterfly house! The guy was super educational and I love that making sure we have no hitch hikers is a job! So cute!! The manatees were awesome, but heads up that room is HOT and HUMID to keep them alive and well!!

Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden is one of the largest zoos in the Midwest and is totally worth visiting. It is home to hundreds of animals, featuring popular exhibits. It’s also known its beautiful landscaping in the summer, the spectacular PNC Festival of Lights in the winter, and Tulips Zoo Bloom in the spring. It is a big zoo with some hills so shoes are highly recommended if you’re planning to spend the day there but for those with mobility concerns, mobility scooters are available for rent. For family with young children, strollers and wagons are highly recommended as well. There are also variety of food, drink and desserts options within the zoo including the famous Skyljne chilli but I believe outside foods are welcomed. For local families or people who’s planning to visit multiple times a year, I suggest investing in a membership which includes parking, member discounts for purchases inside the zoo; train and carousel rides depends what kind of membership you get.

Excellent experience at the Zoo with my wife and 2.5 yr old son (he loved it)!! We got to see almost all the animals although it’s probably best if you show up earlier in the day to see them energetic. Seeing the elephants and giraffes were most exciting. The safari train is not a must-do activity but for $5 pp at the gate - it’s worth the smiles and excitement of a toddler! Gift shop was not outrageously priced but could be better; selection was pretty good.

This is the best zoo I’ve been to in the United States. I want to come back again in the future! The Great: - we arrived at 10:00am right at opening and staid till 5:00pm when they closed. Wow and we still didn’t get to see the large cats. - everything in the zoo was well maintained and clean. - variety of food options at good prices. - each of the people working the zoo answered questions and were really nice. - lots of shaded paths and places to cool down - easy parking and access to the zoo - we rented a wagon for $19. it was worth it. - watch the bird show! it was very well done. The Improve: - one gripe that i had was not all the cafes and food trucks were open. we went on a Saturday which I thought everything would be open. Big Win Tips: - bring a water bottle! - the zoo is a maze! we used Chat GPT to make us a route to where to go and when.
