The Skywalk was a nice stroll above the park and through the woods. The Minnesota Wildlife area was very nicely done. The indoor area with the pink flamingo area was very well designed. The discovery center at the entrance had amazing fish tanks with a variety of fish to observe. Highly recommend coming to visit!
Great fun! We went during the week so it wasn’t that busy, which was awesome. The staff were all friendly and the animals looked well taken care of with plenty of room to roam. Got some great photos and I’m looking forward to going back!

Amazing! My wife and I get a season pass every year. We bring our own food and drinks to save some money. Then we spend the day wandering around. With the season pass, you get in an hour before opening.
Nice walking around zoo, good amount of animals. Gift shop was nice. With some good selection of food.
Also got to see a sea lion show, witch was cool to watch but seemed short, hoping it was longer.
Nice zoo, not sure if I’ll be back but was nice.

Great zoo, spend the whole day here with my gf. The animals were very active on the day, especially the bears, tigers and birds were very entertaining! Really liked some of the exhibits. It wasn’t super nice on the day but there’s a lot inside.
They do require you to buy tickets ahead which we weren’t aware of, and it’s VERY expensive, but if you spend a long time like we did, it’s worth it!

Tree Trail is a “must do” at the MN Zoo followed by a ground tour of exhibits. Don’t be discouraged by 2+ mile length…one can do shorter walks with many on/off ramps and electric carts are available if needed!!
The treetop trail is pretty cool and it was neat getting a clear view of some of the animals.
