This is a great local zoo which I enjoy visiting 6 times a year. Kept up very well and the staff is wonderful.

This zoo is big on value! It is a small but nicr & clean. The exhibits are well maintained and the animals look healthy. There is good stroller & wheelchair access. Lots of shade & an area with picnic tables if you want to bring a picnic lunch into the park. Next door is a A+++ playground for the kids... More

If you've been to a big-city zoo, you'll want to keep your expectations in check since this is a small zoo. But even though it is smaller it was a pleasant place to spend a couple of hours. The admission fee is reasonable; I think maybe $6 or so per adult. There are some animals I did not think I... More

Great place to bring the kids. Very inexpensive, small zoo that can be completed covered in a few hours. Plus you can do things like bring your own food and sit in the park and then go to the zoo. Something you could never pull off at Brookfield (they make you buy their over-priced food).

For the past three years our grown children and their families have met us at Miller Park Zoo. We also hide eggs for the three little ones and last year we brought picnic lunch. Disapointed today that carousel was not open. Its a beautiful park, not sure the zoo is worth the prices charged for admission.

Even though MPZ is small they take great care in how the zoo is run. The tropical bird exhibit can't be missed. In the summer there are Junior zookeepers that have gone through a lot of classes to help educate visitors about the animals and the zoo itself. For very young children there is a nice carousel (costs a little... More

It's been a long time since I have been there. But great zoo for the kids without being so large they loose interest.

This is a nice zoo for a small town. The park it's located in isn't in the best part of town. The number of animals and size of the place is pretty limited compared to Peoria's zoo but the community should be proud.
