One of the most beautiful and well kept zoos I have been too. Delicious food, fun extra activities, great hands on play and experience for the kids to enjoy. The elephant exhibit was particularly amazing. We love visiting even though we are from out of town and the Zoo is so large we spend hours there without seeing it all! So fun!
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is a must stop for year-long fun. During summer you can visit the animals, in fall plan a visit for Boo at the Zoo. My family's favorite tradition is to visit the Cleveland Zoo for Wild Winter Nights. Walking through the beautiful light displays and listening to the carols is a holiday treat. You think it would be too cold, but a hot chocolate or mulled cider warms you up! This year, we tried the drive-through, and it was just as enjoyable! I look forward to seeing Wild Winter Nights in winter, as much as I enjoy visiting the animals during summer.
We visited the zoo on a Sunday night in August to see the Lantern Festival. We only had a few animal.sightings, so I can't say much about that. However, the Festival we went for was amazing.
We were there a little before dark, so we had a chance to see everything before and after it was lit up. If you have a chance to visit the zoo for this event, I highly recommend doing so. Absolutely beautiful with lots of photo ops and just a really awesome experience to walk through (we did not do the driving tour).
I recently visited With family in the local zoo and I must say it was an incredible experience. The variety of animals was impressive, ranging from majestic big cats to playful primates and exotic birds. The zoo had well-maintained enclosures that resembled natural habitats, providing a comfortable and safe environment for the animals.
Overall, I had a fantastic time at the zoo. It was educational, entertaining, and provided a great opportunity to connect with nature and wildlife. I would highly recommend visiting this zoo to anyone looking for an enjoyable and educational day out.
Went for the Xmas light show. Our 9yo wanted to do the train ($5) and the zip line ($9). We went last year during bitter cold and there wasn’t the various extras or even extra food options. We wound up getting hot chocolate (~$5) and a scoop of pretty tasty butter pecan ice cream (~$5). And then we also got roasted nuts and two kinds of popcorn (~$23). Our group had a 4-pack ticket which made it a bit cheaper for a group. And, parking was available in the closest lot which was great… I really enjoyed seeing wildlife in a dark scene - for instance you could find a beaver swimming under the water (pictured), and of course your kid will want to take a million pics (pictured). Dress warm, and maybe bring a thermos. And a wagon is a good idea to haul the things you don’t want to carry. We had waits for the zip line (maybe 10min) for the carousel (3-4min) and waiting for the train (8-9min).
Been here for normal zoo hours and it's a great zoo. Has tons of animals, is a good size to spend a few hours walking around. But it's not too big that you might not make it to every area of the zoo before you leave. Nice and clean, friendly staff. Has a good selection of food if you come hungry. And I love all the events they do. I come here every year for the Asian lantern festival and it's always a good time. They have so many unique decorations put up. It also different every year. Definitely try to show up when it's starting to get dark so you can really enjoy all the lights they have up
We have been to this a few times but the most recent was awesome. Lots of animals were out and about. Don’t miss the newer part in the NW corner, which is a new and awesome part of the zoo. And take the trolley to the top, there’s a few very hound gorillas that are the cutest. Thanks CLE zoo for the good times.
Amazing zoo. I have been all over the country to see zoos and this one is one of my favorites. Each exhibit is well crafted and there are lots of animals to see. I definitely recommend going early in the morning so you can take your time. The parking lot fills up quickly. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this if you are a fan of zoos.
I went to the lantern festival for my first time. It was a spontaneous last minute event. I am so ever grateful that I got to see what I saw so if anybody wants to go I recommend just go. Don't wait, just go and enjoy life
We went to the winter light festival & we had lots of fun. We go every year because we love the lights &they change it the lights. They have a vendor who sells warm nuts & a variety of popcorn, must try! At the top there's a stand where you can buy other treats, but let me recommend their hot apple cider and hot cocoa, It's a great way to make holiday memories 🤩
