Sunset Zoo

Esther Erickson

Husband and I took the kids on a Saturday afternoon since the weather was pretty mild. We haven’t seen the newest and most recent renovations since they have been done. I have to say I liked it a lot more before when they did the initial renovations in 2014. There was a lot more bamboo (and shade.) This new renovation you can tell was just for more fancy event space. No peacocks out like before and not a lot of animals out in viewing areas. Which the kids were pretty disappointed about. They blocked off where you used to be able to walk and see kangaroos and the big emus. No baby swings at the playground… They need to put more things around the area for the kids, especially for the days the animals are hiding out. Maybe add on to the playground (because it’s pretty sad)or even add themed playgrounds in the different worlds they are trying to do. Just for more of an attraction to the public - because this zoo is really lacking. No wonder why there wasn’t too many people out there on a Saturday to begin with.

Well maintained small zoo. Good viewing areas to see animals when inside or out. Some steep walkways, but all handicap manageable. Pricing $6 adults, but no senior or military rates.

Worse zoo we ever been too. None of the animals were out we paid so much money to see 3 animals total. The landscaping down the ramp was so grown up that it hit the kids in the face in the strollers. Don't waste your money.

The zoo is nice and well maintained, but the animals must be in a bigger place. It's sad how animals like a tiger are in such a small place. There are also some species of animals with a single specimen. It would be better to replace species from other continents with native species, adapted to the climate of Kansas. However, it can be a good place for visiting one weekend.
