Our family had a membership for years here until we moved too far away. We watched it grow from a tiny, older place to a sprawling, new facility. We only get up every other year or so now, and each visit we find new improvements. This time there was a carousel, expanded picnic areas, and an improved Barnyard area. We... More

This is an excellent small zoo. We got in with our NC Zoo passes. Some of the unique exhibits are watching the bats and the farm area where you can feed and pet the goats. The zoo is expanding to include bears and other animals. More

I was at the Akron Zoo yesterday. We arrived around 1:30 and by 2:15 we were done. There were no animals out and it seemed like all of the exibits were closed or only had one animal.

My family has had a membership here for several years. The Akron Zoo is relatively small, but that is one of the things we like about it. Making one's way around the zoo is easy, and it's the perfect size if your small children don't have the endurance for a larger place. Some of the exhibits are top-notch. More

My fiancé and I went one day for a little day trip. Walked through entire thing in about an hour. Place is super small and hardly any animals were out. Hardly any exotic animals. However the place is cheap to get into but I'd rather spend a little more to go to the bigger and better Cleveland zoo which I... More

Small in size but perfect for young children to visit and learn about animals. No Polar bears and large animal exhibits, but a good one time visit. Maybe twice. More
