Hannah SolbachMarch 20, 2011Foursquare tip: check-in to exhibits based on distance not where you actually are if you want the points. 4square keeps telling me I'm not where I actually am then doesn't award points
Charlie HamiltonSeptember 16, 2013Really awful zoo. Employees few and far between and some exhibits seem neglected.
Lisa JohnsonSeptember 5, 2011Free zoo, check out the panda exhibit, although they will probably be sleeping as usual.
Bob ErlenbackOctober 21, 2010The ice cream vending machines take credit cards but only few are functioning.
- Cameron BApril 9, 2011Start with the lions and then see the rest ... typical zoo nothing spectacular
Valentina FernandezJune 27, 2010Haven't been to the zoo yet, but I hear its nice. Definitely have to check it out.
Recycle cell phones/accessories, iPods, handheld gps units, laptops and portable hard drives in the great ape house.
Dan PJune 10, 2012Spent 20 minutes in the parking lot driving around only to be directed out. Once we got to the zoo it was over crowded and animals were few to be seen.
- Top tip: start at the main northwestern entrance and walk down hill all the way.
David TayOctober 8, 2011Line at Panda Plaza Grill are atrociously slow. Maybe they should outsource the whole food concessions to McD.

"Great Sunday drum circle, but there's always something else going on! The park is designed well, so there are more secluded places if you want to be alone, and more open spots if you're in a group!"
