We visited the area for a weekend last spring and spent a fantastic day at this zoo. It is now our #1 favorite zoo ever. The animal displays are well designed and you get a good look at their wonderful animals. The opportunity to feed a giraffe is one that shouldn't be missed. We spent an hour with the giraffe's....

We visit Binder Park Zoo at least once a year and it never disappoints. April 20th was no exception. Docents were everywhere explaining changes (new eagle exhibit, wild dog habitat under development, the new snow leopard is the grandson of their female snow leopard). The zoo is medium sized as far as the numbers of animals go but the grounds... More

We love this zoo. It is wonderful for wandering all day, but if you're looking for a half day activity it would def. work too. Absolute favorite- feeding the giraffes!!! They are right there for you to feed and pet.

Binder Park is a very nice zoo for a city the size of Battle Creek. It has a nice variety of animals, and many excellent programs for kids. If you go, you MUST go feed the giraffe's!!

This zoo is so cute and fun. Go early though because they get quite the line later in the day. Lines for lunch got really long too. We didn't eat inside the park. I think some people picnic out in the parking lot area. Fun to walk around even as adults.

A nice place to walk around--well laid out and many animals one would not expect to find in a smaller zoo. Great for taking kids.

Battle Creek is incredibly fortunate to have such an AMAZING zoo and long-time patrons who have poured their hearts and wallets into this gem. Go to Africa - it will only take you 15 minutes! The aviary there is great. Beautiful, immaculate facility with very natural exhibits. GO!
