A smaller zoo that still offers quite a few things to see. Allow half a day to see the entire zoo , longer if you stay for shows or summer events . Brand new Africa exhibit opened recently.

Rebekah Cornell

I have grown up in Rochester and the zoo is always fun! Grounds are very clean and there are lots of animals to see! It's even great to visit in the winter!!

AJ T.

Excellent small zoo ! Be sure to check out the new "Africa" exhibit with lions , elephants, goats , and more! Plus go "behind the scenes" of the primate exhibits with reptiles & meerkats (my fave)!

Mike Barker

The new Out of Africa exhibit is fantastic. It's better than zoos in major cities . ????

Become a member and visit all year round. The animals are livelier in the mornings around 10AM or so... near feeding time.

HISTORY

In 1893 the park opened to the public as a recreational park , but by 1894 the first animals were seen in the lower portion of the park , where guests could find birds, trout and deer.

What a wonderful time with my grandson and daughter. Lovely place to visit, be careful they don't keep you locked up with the monkeys!

Erin O'Brien

Go see the sea lion feedings at 11am or 3pm. Flounder is a big boy, so he is usually very hungry! Read more

Do NOT park on perimeter of lot- my car was broken into and zoo staff said "this happens all the time" - since then I make it a point to park in middle.
