Very dissappounted when we walk throw the zoo. Some windows you could not see throw them. Just plain dirty. There was a bird place there. That was nice. You can see some different birds flying and walking .Not very many animals either I guess if I compaired Buffalo zoo to theres, we win big time. .

Most of the animals were viewable, and for a small zoo, it had a good variety of animals. It was included in our ticket to Hershey Park, so that was value added.

Went to this zoo on Mother's Day with a buy one & mom gets in free promotion. This small zoo was disappointing, with small enclosures and barely a glimpse of any interesting animals. Most of the animals were asleep or hiding, and even if they had been awake there wasn't much they could do in their small enclosures. There wasn't... More

When the children were younger, we had season passes to HersheyPark, which includes the zoo. We could go for an hour or so, or all day. We'd go when it was too hot outside, or rainy & see the indoor exhibits. When the weather was nice, especially those warm spring-like days we occasionally get in January/February - we'd go for...

Hershey Park zoo is very nice for all of the family. They see all kinds of animals which are beautiful in their natural habitat. It is a great educational experience for the whole family.

I liked the American theme to this park. Cougars were especially lively and entertaining when we were there. Sometimes difficult to follow "suggested route"--a nice addition to Hershey Park

We were a little disappointed with the zoo. Compared to some of the other zoos we have been too. It was part of our Hershey Park package so went.

This zoo was like walking back in time. A series of mournful animals in desperately small enclosures made me wonder why this place is still open. It was so depressing/upsetting that we chose to leave quite quickly. Hershey need to close this place down.

We went with our in-laws and 15 month old over the weekend. Pretty unimpressive zoo- there's no giraffes, elephants, bears, etc there. The animal confines were very small. The most impressive animals were the wolves, who you could barely see and were sleeping in the sun, and the 2 lions, one of which sounded like she was in anguish with... More
