We love this zoo. Well worth the yearly memembership fees. We live over an hour away and will take the kids here every couple months. A rainy day and there is nothing to do, a trip to the rainforest cheers them up. It is a great zoo for a day trip or just a couple hours

This is one of the nicer zoos I've been to. We love their Penguin exhibt which is so much nicer than Columbus's. We miss the Elphants which were taken to Columbus while a new habitat is being built. They have polar bears which is a plus (columbus is in the process of getting Polar bears). Their wolf exhibit leaves alot to be desired we only saw a one animal (not a wolf) in the exhibt. There is a very nice Eagle which is very friendly. Love the rainforest but there was one worker who was very rude the zoo was about to close and she very rudly asked us to leave. It wasn't even that close to closing time. Which brings me to the second downfall they have very short hours on some days. Wish they had a manatee Columbus does but Cleveland does not.

I enjoy the zoo and so does my daughter. We are excited they are giving the elephants a new home to live in and re-doing the giraffe area.
The rainforest is a nice place to go when the cold is just driving you crazy!

My daughter LOVES the zoo!
I personally have become bored with their selection and display of the animals. I think the rainforest smells like kitty litter and I really cannot stand it!
However, they are clean and friendly. My daughter enjoys just strolling around. Her favorite being the elephants. I am excited to see what they do with that.
Definitely needs an aquarium!
