We got there right at 9 and didn't leave until 5:30. So much to see, its easy to spend the whole day there. The zoo itself is beautiful and has many different areas to visit. Overall great experience and worth the trip!

However, the size of the zoo makes it able to accommodate LOTS of people without feeling crowded.

We loved the skyfari. So many things to see the only thing I didn't like was the ton of schools there on a field trip could barley walk through some exhibits. I would recommend going in the afternoon it wasn't very busy around two.

The IMAX theatre presented the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery which was amazing to watch. History in the making.

This is the best zoo in the country and I'm not just saying that because I live here. People from all over come to see our zoo. It is spectacular and big and takes all day or only half day if you don't want to spend the whole day there

Tons of animals, lots to do, Imax theater. Members get in free and get into Imax free also! They're always updating and adding attractions-very nice to walk through! I try to get here once a year (7 hour drive and worth it!)
