This is a lovely zoo where you can tell the keepers are passionate about taking good care of their animals. Well maintained, large spaces for the animals while still getting a good view. It can be a bit hilly as you walk around.

The zoo was not bad for the price, but many exhibits were closed (understandably, out of an abundance of caution due to a recent case of Avian Flu). There was only one place open to get food, in the very front of the zoo, at the admission/exit. We saw very little staff during our time at the zoo, but several of the ones we did see were outright rude.

Good zoo, your able to get close to the animals and feed the giraffes. It is a bit small, we took the tram ride around a few times until my 2yr old got bored. And they don't have very many animals. Bird flu has some it closed so I will have to return to see the rest.

Stopped here on our way home to stretch the kids legs for 45 minutes before jumping back into the car... wow! way bigger than we expected! Spent 3 hours unexpectedly. Lots of cool animals that aren't at our home zoo in Milwaukee. The otter tunnel was our favorite part, followed by INDOOR carousel (because winter).

What makes this fun

Carson, wrong, wrong, wrong! The zoo (AND botanical gardens) are lots of fun for all ages. We are in our 70's and our great-grandkids are 4 thru 7. We all have fun there. There are lots of programs for the kids and while it is not a big city zoo it is very nice for Evansville. We recently got a new rhino that they are going to breed here. As for the hills, yes, there's a lot of hills which can be really good if you're looking for good exercise or in our case, there is a very nice tram that goes all around the zoo. In the spring they have a fantastic plant sale where I buy a good deal of my plants for the summer. I guess it is all a matter of whether you look for the good in things or not. Try it out. I believe you can really enjoy it. P.S. They also have a great gift shop.
