Sacramento Zoo - Sacramento (CA)

4 /5 S& S: The zoo was just that, a zoo! There was a good selection of animals to view, unfortunate there wasn’t another rhino, the one looked sad with his face on the ground, and no elephants or lions. The lioness would probably benefit with a male around. Some of the exhibits were a tad small and the animals seemed a tad under stressed. I wish they’d give live prey to the prey animals, maybe when the zoo is closed so it’s not Grissom but so the animals can still embrace their natural skills. My daughter had a great time so that’s really what matters. Grateful for the zoo and their keepers so we can have this experience.

5 /5 Jamie Morelos: We had an amazing time! There were keepers out at most major exhibits talking to visitors and telling us about the animals. They were so friendly and knowledgeable. The zoo was clean and easy to navigate. My son loved the carousel and train. Most of the animals were easy to see and the food was REALLY good!

5 /5 baby LJ carrasco: Came to Sacramento to Visit my in-laws. We thought it would be awesome to experience the Sacramento zoo. The kids enjoyed it specially my 4 years old. He was amazed specially with the Giraffes. You’re able to feed them. I would love to come again next time I visit.

5 /5 Holly S: I gave this zoo 5 stars because it is clean, knowledgeable and friendly staff, accommodations for disabled and sensory sensitive peoples. Ive been here many times throughout my life. Its not a big zoo and doesnt have a lot of animals, but they do have a variety. Several big cats, rhino, zebras, okani, red panda, two toe sloth, a few kinds of lemurs, giraffes with a viewing deck and option to feed them as well as meerkats, capybaras, birds etc and a reptile house. A full restaurant and while I feel its a bit pricey their portions are huge. They also let you bring in food so not a big deal. They have a nice playground for littles and a carousel. My 2 year old had a blast. The paths can be rough but workable. It is an older zoo. I think itll be better if they can get started on the new one in Elk Grove. Its a great park for being a smaller zoo. Still bigger than Folsom. I enjoy it. Plenty of bathrooms and theres a 50% off discount for disabilities, but you have to buy at the gate. I would suggest buying tickets a week or more ahead of time online though to get the best regular price.

5 /5 Em Horton Kenefsky: The kids loved it! We went on a drizzly Thursday afternoon and got to see all the animals except the orangutans (they must have been napping somewhere). The carousel is only $3 per child with chaperoning parents riding free, so that was totally worth it for my 3 and 4 year-olds. Bring your own stroller or wagon because the ones you can rent there are not cheap! I hear the zoo is moving, so check ahead for open hours.
