Wonderful zoo . Bring cash for things inside. Personally found it difficult to see some of the animals but you can't help where an animal is sitting when you pass.
Very fun and lots to see, how ever I wish the train conductor said what the animals were or at least talked about what we were passing by. Other than that it was great!!!
It's large so prepare to walk, a lot. After general admission, there are a few things you can pay extra for like riding a Camel or feeding a Giraffe. Some animals are hard to see, but it's still nice
The Sea Lion show at 10am & 2pm is fun for the kiddos. The indoor areas are great too. There is not enough baby/toddler seating in ANY of the food areas, so your kid may have to eat in their stroller.
Amazing! The Dino exhibit was really cool! And lots of baby animals along the trails of Africa!
It's rather small, but there's plenty to do and it's well worth the price. You can finish this in about four to five hours if you methodicallly read and look at everything.
Go see the red pandas ! They have two young ones right now who love to chase and play. They're unexpectedly in the predator exhibit .
Haven't been in years and it was great going again as newly weds to celebrate my wife's birthday. A Peacock posed for me with it's feathers up to take a picture and we played with Lorikeets .
Great place to go. The Christmas light show is romantic and a blast to go to. Nothing like eating s'mores and drinking cocoa .
Great place for a casual daytime date. Check the weather, first, though.
The Birmingham Zoo has come a long way and is really a spectacular place. I still miss Monkey Island and the Bear exhibits .
If you have kids/grandkids you should get a zoo membership. The best value around.
One of Birmingham's Best Attractions
Be sure to bring a few quarters. You'll either be glad you did or sorry you didn't. Trust me on this. .
Love the Zoo . Go early and beat the crowd of people if you have small children.
It was a very fun zoo , would recommend!
Baked Salmon Roll was a amazing!
Elephants were great
If you are wanting to see the Dino's you need to do it soon bc they are about to be gone!!
The scenery is nice!! Very cool upgrades!!
Lions and Tigers and Bears , oh my!
Make sure to buy two nectars at the lorikeets !
It's pretty clean but Monday's are not the day to go. Most shops are closed or lacking variety.
They're trying to make it better. The middle section just past the entrance seems like such wasted space.
So much fun! Way better than the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans I thought.
Enjoyed it! Bring sunscreen ;)
Great Place to go! And Volunteer
Very good to take family with you!
It is a beautiful day at the Birmingham Zoo. :)
Come early and head to the cat house
Somebody needs to start cleaning this place up. Everything needs some maintenance!
The zoo is open seven days a week.
when you have kids the memebership saves you.

Nickleback lives in the trashcan here - Mollie Hawkins
This particular exhibit was interesting because I hail from Georgia, so this is the first time I've seen a lot of the Alabaman creatures. - Tyler Jones
They have a wonderful restaurant. I am a vegan and they give me plenty of options as well as a wine selection. Great for a walk with a date at night (^_^) - Jazie Bee
Completely beautiful open space in heart of city with tons of trees for shade and benches for sitting. A respite worth visiting. - Bill Ferriter
Very well upkept, beautiful. They are working near the koi pond. - Pocahontas Dear
Make sure they are feeding before you buy a ticket. The big ones might chase off the little ones and no refunds (though tickets are good forever) - Clinton Pittman
