I think it's all about expectations. This is a small, no frills zoo. It's cute. It's walkable. My 5 year old had a blast in summary. But it feels a bit tired and as a result, I found the entrance fee to be steep ($8). You could ride a pony or camel (+$5). They had a special butterfly exhibit where... More

It is nothing fancy but it's enough to keep kid up to teens occupied for an afternoon. There is an area with animals that we did not make it to.

The zoo was average- but fun. Kids can see the animals closeup. The amusement park was neat because there were many good old-fashioned rides and activities.

My sister lived in Maine at the time we went to the York ZOO.

This zoo is very easy to navigate through and i always remember it fondly.... More

We have been to York's Wild Kingdom for the past three years and I expect to be back every year until my kids no longer wish to visit. My kids have had rides on elephants and camels at York's and seriously enjoy the paddle boats. There are a wide range of animals and a relaxing butterfly enclosure. You can bring... More
