This is not just a zoo, most people don't realize that. Yes, they have LOTS of varieties of animals, name one and it's likely they have it. But they also have an amplitheater that plays host to several concerts and an IMAX theater which shows both education IMAX movies and many of Hollywood's latest releases on the really big screen!
My personal favorites in the Zoo have to be the Gibbon exhibit and the aquarium. The Gibbons are very energetic and are often swinging around and playing. The new aquarium is massive. They have a few different tanks including sharks, and several hundred fish. There is also a "hands-on" area where you can feel some of the creatures.
Great for kids! I'm 20 and I still enjoy it!

For several years we have visited the MN Zoo during the holidays for Walk the Wild Lights. We have also visited the zoo during the regular season too. They have a good variety of animals and activities for kids.
Now that we live closer we will probably get a membership - especially as our kids get older and want to visit more often. Even without a membership it is fairly reasonable.

I feel the Minnesota Zoo does not have enough animals to see. We felt like most of our time was spent walking from one place to another and not seeing that many animals. The price of admission was not bad though. The food is over prices so I would recommend packing a picnic lunch. The thing I did like was the train you could ride. After a long day it was nice to be able to sit back and enjoy the ride.

The Minnesota Zoo is a great place for adults and children alike. They are open year-round and they've got both indoor and outdoor exhibits so you can enjoy the animals in any kind of weather. The walking paths are wide and stroller friendly. There's also two playgrounds inside the zoo if the kids get tired of the animals. They've got a working farm that features wagon rides and petting zoos. They also have an Imax theater, which isn't included in the price of the zoo admission. The food is a bit expensive, however, so if you plan on eating there you might want to pack a lunch.
