We have been to a lot of zoo's across Canada and the United Staes and this was one of the smallest. However, great things come in small packages as this was truley one of the cleanest zoo's we have seen. Great place to visit.

It was designed well and the kids had fun. The prairie dogs and the peacocks were the favorites.

Small zoo but perfect for small children to walk. My kids liked that they could walk the entire zoo and didn't have to sit in a stroller.

Family friendly with nice well kept grounds and cool exhibits. Wolf exhibit and takins exhibit were really good. Nice play area for kids with antique carousel. The red pandas were exceptional!! Kids also loved feeding the ducks.

Most disappointing zoo I have ever been to. Only good if you bring a kid under the age of 8. They have plenty of farm animals and not to much else

I am sorry you did not have a great experience while visiting us. We are much more than a petting zoo, as we feature 89 different species of animals and 797 individual animals.

I think this is a cute little zoo for community. The animals are all adorable and decent variety. My toddler loved it when we went.

Nice zoo but small for the size of Fargo. Hopefully now that they remodeled they will grow the amount of animals too.

The Red River Zoo is a small zoo with great variety. If you are looking for lions and tigers and bears this is not the place for you. If you are interested in rare animals like the red pandas you will enjoy your visit very much. The petting area and carousal are great for little kids.
