Potawatomi Zoo

Marla Timm

This quaint zoo has so much to offer. Along with the animal exhibits there is a carousel ride and a train ride and a petting zoo area. The animals seem well adapted to their very well thought out exhibits. This zoo is clean and the faculty very knowledgeable and friendly. I will make multiple visits to this zoo.

All of the staff I came in contact with were friendly and knowledgeable. There were no waits on anything, despite visiting on a Friday. We saw alpacas, goats, donkeys, monkeys, fish, otters, emu, buffalo, flamingos, zebras, a leopard and a snow leopard. There were quite a few empty exhibits however, including the lion which we were kinda bummed about. Train ride tickets were $3 per person and the carousel was also $3 per person. The kids had fun!

Lived in Indiana basically my whole life and never knew there was a zoo in South Bend. We absolutely loved it. Great size for little ones with plenty to see and do. We just happened to go on a day when all the little snack shops were not open and due to come construction, the train you can ride was also closed. A little bit of a bummer. But we hope to return when it's complete and re-experience it for 5 stars!
