Excellent zoo experience! Sedgwick County does a great job at maintaining the facilities which in turn help ensure that guests have a both memorable and enjoyable experience. The exhibits are easy to navigate, the feedings are spaced out well enough so guests don't feel rushed, and there are JUST enough shaded areas to pause in before venturing on to the next area on hot days. Personally, my favorite thing about the zoo is that they have reserved spots for EVs (electric vehicles). The spots are shaded by solar panels, and the feels are astronomically low, allowing you to charge a few dozen kilowatts during your stay. I believe I charged about 20kW during my visit and only ended up paying $2.86.

Simply Beautiful. The exhibits are made to be like their natural habitats. Zoo Keepers are on hand to answer questions, give demonstrations. I have been here at least 30 times and it never gets old! Best Zoo in the Midwest!

I'm from Northern Kentucky and I frequent the Cincinnati Zoo and I have to compare this zoo to them. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the zoo and the variety of animals in the zoo overall. While it does not have as many animals you still have a very good representation of the continental areas they are covering. The biggest plus with this zoo is the amount of open space between exhibits and the help offered by the staff. They are very pleasant to deal with and helpful. I would definitely visit again when back in town!

The exhibits were done well, and there were lots of animals to see up close! The whole zoo was laid out nicely and easy to walk. There were a lot of unique features that I haven't seen at other zoos, and I left very impressed!

Looks like you got your answer ... but yes, you can and there are many places to eat throughout the zoo. Our favorite place is the gorilla exhibit because there is a playground by the tables.

The gift shop exit is the zoo exhibit exit. If you enter where the visitors exit and explain to the zoo staff at the door that you want to buy a stuffed animal they may allow you to buy it.
