Great place to take the family for a day outing. There's a small zoo, a large park, a merry go round, and a miniature train you can ride for a very small fee. I believe the train was .50 a ride and the merry go round was .05 a ride. There is also a fun little 18 hole miniature golf course that is $2 a game and is loads of fun. This is one of my favorite places that is nearby to take the family.

Are there plans to get Eeyore (my name for the sweet swaybacked pack animal) into a more social location? He appears to be so lonely and sad, maybe he could be adopted to s farm with other animals and human contact.

Is it drive through

Roberta McBride | Oct 26, 2019
Tonya Lowery | Oct 26, 2019

You can drive through the back part for the larger animals and then you can drive up to the back side for the birds and monkey area but for the main Zoo you know you have to walk it they do allow Wheelchairs and electric wheelchairs and strollers if need be! But if you have any other questions just call Independence Zoo. They may provide other options!

The weather plays a big role in determining which animals are on display. If its very cold or hot do not expect to see very many.
