Ashley and I pt. 2. We came here first, this place is really big and Ashley loved it. Shes a very big animal person and I was glad to be the one to bring her here for the first time. She really loved the burd show and could't wait til we went to the imax. It was a great time to get away with her. I liked the wild horses they had, Beautiful.…
Lovely zoo!. I can't believe the reviews here, either. There are over 2000 animals, representing 500 species. These people who didn't see animals must be blind or just not sure what an animal looks like. The animals at Como are in small, concrete inclosures, unfit for living. It's cruel. During the winter, they keep the giraffe in a 10 by 10 pen - for months!! That's the reason you don't see African animals at the MN zoo. There, they do what is best for the animal. In other words, they care. And as far as the price is concerned, have you been to Sea World lately? It's like $80 per person!! $12 at the MN zoo is cheaper than most zoos - most decent zoos, that is.…
fun for the whole family. Great family fun spot. The new Russia exhibit is great and the Minnesota exhibit has been remodeled. Friendly and knowledgeable volunteers all around. Lots of interactive stuff for the kids to learn from.…
Huge dissapointment! Overgrown with weeds. Saw little animals!. I wouldn't waste the trip or the money! The place was overgrown with weeds and yet they were still spending millions on a new area for new animals to come when they haven't even faced the problems they have NOW! Weeds were overgrown in ALL exhibits! We rarely saw any animals and when we did they didn't look happy in my opinion. It is a poorly run facility. Some of the best zoos I've seen are the San Antonio, St. Louis, and of course the San Diego Zoos. Don't waste your time with this one!…
Siberian tigers, Imax movies and cloned cows--oh my!.
In Short
Emphasizing natural habitats and education, this 500-acre suburban zoo is home to 2,400 animals. Pigs, chickens and other domesticated animals spend their days at the Wells Fargo
Family Farm exhibit. It's also home to three cloned cows. The 600-seat 3-D Imax theater is one of the largest in the country. An aquarium lets you touch sharks and sea urchins and watch performing dolphins. The zoo often features big-name stars in its Weesner Family Amphitheater.…
