Pretty great! Much bigger than when I was a kid and a larger selection of animals. My daughter loved it! She loves feeding the koi as much as I did as a child!

It is a pretty nice zoo and the prices are reasonable . We spent about two hours there and went slow, it's just right for a morning or afternoon adventure. It was not busy at all, which was nice. The only thing I could even complain about would be that the train wasn't running, but it is understandable due to the heat index being overr 100. Other than that the only suggestion I could make is that they should stay open later in the evening so that it is cool enough that the animals will come out. Most of the bigger animals weren't out due to the heat.

Nice little zoo. Had a lot of different birds and animals that I had never seen before, even at much larger zoos. Admission was reasonable and the paths were 90% shaded, which is a huge bonus in the central Louisiana heat.

A MUST DO!! With kids of any age! The pathways are perfect for keeping your toddler on track (lol), I could see it getting congested on the weekends though. But a weekday is the perfect time to visit if you can. The exhibits were at eye level for kids which is amazing. Very stroller friendly. So many animals including lions, leopards, wolves, alligators, birds, snakes, fish, bears, monkeys and many more! What an affordable way to spend a few hours! We loved our time here!!

Melissa Perry | May 30, 2020
Laura Bartlett | May 31, 2020

I know that my niece's class went for a field trip and they were slow to take a sack lunch. It's possible.

What time is best to view the otters?

Wiliam Church | May 31, 2019
Alexandria Zoological Park (Owner) | Jun 1, 2019

There is no set schedule for when the baby otters are viewable. It is at the mother otter's discretion to bring them outdoors or keep them inside. Sometimes she will keep them outside all day and other days she only brings them out for a few minutes. As the pups get older, they will spend more time outdoors.
