The Akron Zoo, is my zoo. I've enjoyed taking my children here as babies in strollers, I've enjoyed seeing my now tweens continue to enjoy their favorite lemur, penguin and bear exhibits, and I am always pleased to see the zoo be reinvested in over and over again.
This is a nice zoo for spending a few hours. Not as many large animals as bigger zoos, but still good for children. You won't leave wiped out at the end of the day, as its smaller size makes it possible to see everything with time left to spare in the day. The slide through the otter exhibit is a real fun attraction. We also like the penguins. You are closer to some of the animals than at other zoos, so that is also a plus.
Great hunting. Rich with wildlife. Not easily spooked. Hit 40 flamingos from my deer blind. Kicked out immediately. Great family fun.
This is a great zoo. We have been members for several years. The programs throughout the year are great, the attractions are great and it does not take a terribly long time to go through on a cold Ohio day or on a very hot Ohio day. For younger children it is the perfect amount of time to spend at the zoo. Generally we spend around two hours or less and see all the exhibits and that includes playing on the slide and riding the train, merry go round, etc. Great time!! We have used the membership for discounts at other zoos which is really nice!!
Proud to have this zoo in our own back yard!
I have been to zoos from San Diego to Tampa, from Toledo to North Carolina, and although not the biggest, our Akron Zoo is among the best in terms of quality, cleanliness, and access to animals.
Excellent Family Zoo, especially for little legs. It's just the right size for my 5yo to see all the animals, play on/with the extra equipment, before getting bored or tired. It's amazing to see how much this little zoo has grown over the last 30+ years. Only downside, water from machines are $3/bottle, and the train and carousel are both $2/person, each. There's also a small feel to food to feed the goats. Even given these extra expenses, it's an affordable and fun family outing.
