Such a beautiful, affordable , educational way to spend the day! So many great animals and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable ! We have an incredible time every visit!

Traci Wells

Best Zoo in the Northeast! You can almost touch a giraffe ! There's a super awesome tree fort with a little kid water play area . The park itself is awesome and beautiful too. Worth the long ride.

Richard Revilla

Very well laid out zoo . During October the zoo is decorated with Jack o lanterns to give it a very seasonal feel. Great children's area.

Taylor Stoermer

Terrific zoo . Well laid out with a diverse range of wildlife and experiences. Great for families or couples at all times of the year. A wonderful community asset.

Harold Hunt

A very new exciting part is the "nature swap " section to the zoo which is keeping the boy's wanting to come back every day for the rest of their summer... Not the worst thing for our junior explorers!

Maria B

A small but nice zoo in Providence. The most cool part is the petting zoo , all the goats there want to be petted ???? loved it!

Nick Rojas

Love the Jack O'Lantern spectacular. Best night to go is Tuesday night for the AAA discount .

Elizabeth

The zoo is mildly depressing. Small pens, little stimulation for the animals. The kids will love the Hasbro tree house! No big cats, no polar bears . Try Southwick's!

Jen

Inexpensive zoo with a great variety of animals. Lots of fun for visitors of all ages.

Jackie Chan

I was in awe at the giraffe and elephant building. Lovely zoo , awesome paths.

Eric Szabo

Great place to bring the family. Make sure to buy the family or regular membership it pays for itself after 2 visits

Seong Hwang

I saw many more animals around this time than any other zoo in Boston. Not too big. The tropical section building where the bats are smells a lot.

Lisen Xu

Pretty organized and nice zoo . There are also plenty of shades from the sun.

http://www.rogerwilliamsparkzoo.org/jols/index.cfm The Great Jack-o-Lantern walk is full of great pumpkin art focused on a history theme. The wait is a bit long so bring something to entertain the fam

Corinne Travis-Nine

seems like they have more stuff than animals half of the exhibit are empty so much room for more animals much rather go to buttonwood, Franklin, and south wick at least they have monkey, lions, tigers

Sandy Lau-Hirschman

Very clean & children friendly

Jamie Pachomski

Always travel with extra bread on hand to stop by and feed the geese . Not all RI parks allow you to feed the wildlife . Good, cheap fun...

Caitlyn McKiernan

The pumpkin spectacular was cool, but chaotic. Parents not controlling their kids,people not following the rules, people openly smoking... truly tragic. Worth most of the struggle.

Matt Whipple

Nice enclosures and grounds. Fantastic children's area.

Farouk Locks

Every first Saturday of the month is free for all RI residents

jenny roberts

Pretty cool place! New tree house needs more regulations....way too many older kids there! Maybe a 10 and under ....

Bryan Stewart

Get the membership. Well worth it. Zookeeper for family of six

Beckuh Carmosino

Cheep!! Love it!

Anne Stanton (CRMLady)

The Jack-o-Lantern Spectacular is very impressive if you have never seen it. Bring something to keep the kids entertained in line prior to the event .

Sacha Chevalier

If you bring bread to feed the geese don't throw the empty bag on the ground when you're done! I saw a duck get one wrapped around itself and it drowned. Pick up your trash.

Dominique C

Best zoo around ! Great time! Just don't wear flip flops

Terry C

Look for reduced or free admission passes at your local library kids department before going

Vapers of Anarchy

The geese are very gentle and can be hand fed bread . Please do not leave your trash behind. Teach your children well .

Nick Inglis

Small but fun and filled with cool creatures.

Pallavi Kora
