Minnesota Zoo

Did you know? The zoo 's Asian wild horse breeding program has helped bring the species back from the brink of extinction. Herds descended from a Minnesota Zoo stallion are thriving in the wild!

Penguins, seahorses, and starfish were my favorite. My daughter's first trip to the zoo and she had a blast! I was so surprised at how much there was to do at the zoo in the winter. Great place!

This Is A Great Place 2 Go 2 With Your Friends or Family & Definitely When U Have Nothing 2 Do in The Wintertime I Recommend 2 Come 2 The ZOO & I Got 2 PET A SHARK???? my favorite animals are the monkey

I generally steer clear of zoos , but this one does a great job when it comes to animal care. They're also strong in conservation work. The zoo is beautiful and the animals seem happy.

They have an adults only (18+) night monthly. It's a great way to enjoy the zoo without the strollers. Check the website for dates. (Usually a Friday during the winter, Thursday during the summer.)

“Minnesota Zoo’s new 1.25-mile Treetop Trail , opening July 28. Catch a glimpse of not only birds in all seasons but also the terrestrial residents wandering below, like bison , tigers, and mooseoh my!”

We did "Animals After Dark Group ZzzZoo Overnight – Bears ". Behind-the-scenes tour was good. Sleeping "beside the black bear exhibit " was lame; the bears were locked away.

This is a great place to visit in the middle of winter. It's a great place to let your kids get some energy out.

The new Kangaroo exhibit is very cool, you get with a few feet of kangaroos. The splash pad area is very popular on those hot days.

The animals move around a lot and are more visible in the outdoor exhibits in the winter. And, it’s less busy.

Really well laid out zoo . Lots of shade, comfy rubberized walkways, convenient food and washrooms. Splash pad , carousel, camel rides. Saw lots of animals up close.

A very nice zoo to go to. Lots to see and do. The kids thought the bubbling mud pit was cool!

A family membership is a great investment, letting you visit in manageable lengths of time, first shot at summer concert tix and zoo camp -- this place is a treasure

Great Zoo . Good for Kids . IMAX theater is big. Be sure to google a coupon. Parking is expensive at $7

the exhibits here are really cool, the animals seem happy, and the scenery is nice! the moon jellies were my favorite!

Went with a group of friends, had an amazing time. Fun for all ages!

Northern trail is beautiful. Tropics are very cool, but often quite busy.

Over 20 years I've been coming. The best source of info is the zoo keepers wandering the floor! Amazing stories!

As mentioned, (if it works) buy the season pass. You save $ after a couple visits. You won't feel the need to spend an entire day, make multiple trips when you only have a couple of hours.

I love this zoo . I recommend a membership . Totally worth it.

I love this zoo but it is an EXPENSIVE day out. However it's nicely kept up and there's so many animals. :)

Great place all year round! Busy during the summer and relaxing during the Winter. Take the kids to get their energy out!

Great family experience any time of the year!

Big bugs have been a great follow up to the dinosaurs . All the exhibits and animals are worth the visit.

Minnesota has a great zoo - it's half inside/half outside so I recommend going before it gets too cold!

Good big animals. However was upset that tram was out, or the ride to the farm family wasn't functioning either.

A great variety of animals unique to this zoo and many you won't see anywhere else!

Best zoo in MN. Lots to see, plus an awesome IMAX theater .

The bird show is great for kids any time of year. In winter it's near the tropics trail . In summer its at the amphitheater .

Great place to visit in all seasons. Try to catch the bird show or a close encounter.

A lot of great exhibits and wildlife . Well worth the price of admission.

Plan your visit to see bear training/feeding.....the bears respond to colored discs the bear keepers hold..... Very interesting

The tigers can be interestingly creepy and fun. They kept pacing back and forth near the visitors. Maybe they're thinking that we're dinner .

One of my favorite date spots in Minnesota! Definitely buy a season pass and then watch this "Do Your Waddle" video - http://bit.ly/yXFGMH

Beautiful facility. Grab a coupon online, or use your AAA membership for a discount .

If you plan to visit more than twice a year, invest in a membership . You can apply your daily admission towards the membership fee, too.

Become a member and visit all year long free of charge! Plus discounts on attractions .

The annual membership is actually a good deal . Especially if you have a family.

The grizzly bears , lions, penguins and my wife's favorite, the sharks! My daughter loves the zoo !

Mooooo. ????

Spring for the membership if you can, definitely worth it

At the Grizzly Coast otter exhibit play with the otters by running back and forth in front of the glass. If you're lucky, they'll chase you!

See hundreds of animals, from dolphins to tigers.

Go to Dinosaur exhibit first then monorail second. You get half off the monorail.

Pack your own lunch . The food offerings are dreadful if you prefer healthy, wholesome AND tasty.

Outdoor animals and farm

Ask about the secret penguin escape tunnel .

The Penguin exhibit is just like the real thing in Simons town SA

Check out the brand new exhibit , "faces of the Africann forest "! Pigmy crocs, red river hogs, 2 types of monkeys, really cool

New penguin exhibit is tiny, crowds were insane. Might get better once it isn't new anymore but it's nearly impossible to get the kids up close enough to see anything.
