Minnesota Zoo is home to more than 2000 animals, which are divided into 5 areas: Minnesota Trail, Northern Trail, Tropics Trail, Discovery Bay and Family Farm. I would also recommend checking out one of the dolphin shows. They are held daily during the summer. There’s a monorail that takes visitors around the zoo, as well as refreshments and a gift shop.

t's a little out of the way and costs more than Como Zoo in St. Paul (8 bucks compared to free), but the Minnesota Zoo does an excellent job in displaying animals in their natural habitats. They have huge paddocks for animals to run and graze. There's a dolphin pool where you can see them through underwater windows. Avoid the monorail tour unless it's raining, it's really slow and the cars aren't ventilated very well, which is horrible on hot days. The zoo has good concerts during the summer and a little farm where they've got pigs and cows and chickens, which is great for kids.

They have a wonderful shows exhibits are really great. . They have the tram to ride which you have to pay extra for. I don't know that it is worth it there are not a lot of animals to see there and is hard to see . i enjoy it more when we walk it but it is a long walk for small children or elders . it is pretty pricey and you even for parking

They have a wonderful dolphins show which I just love. And the inside exhibits are really great. I think they change the main one every year. They have the tram to ride which you have to pay extra for. I don't know that it is worth it there are not a lot of animals to see there. They could use some more in the back. You also have to pay for parking. All in all it's a great place to go and have a fun day.

First of all, the zoo is only 10 minutes from my house. Therefore, it is extremely convenient for me. The daily admission prices are ridiculous, but the annual memberships are definitely worth it. I love that they have a complete indoor loop that you can go to during the winter. Get the kids out of the house and see some fun animals. They have 2 playground areas during the summer, which is a nice break for the kids. They also have the farm which is a great hands-on thing for the kids. Definitely recommend it with the annual membership!

So the prices are a little steep but we are very lucky to have such a great zoo nearby. I visit the MN zoo at least once a year with my family and every time is a new experience. They are continually adding new features and remodeling which makes it exciting to go back and see the changes. There is definitely a day full of activities so make a day out of it! Worth the money!

Minnesota Zoo is one of the best places entire family can enjoy and never get tired of it. I especially enjoy indoor exhibits. There is even an exhibit of nocturnal animals, so one can see them while they are active – Minnesota Zoo is the only place I’ve seen it so far. Definitely go - and come back again and again, one day is not enough to see everything.

The Minnesota Zoo is a wonderful place to spend some quality time with your family. Our family owns a membership and the price is well worth it, especially since parking is $5 without it! There are many clean, fun animal exhibits and the smell that I remember as a child is much better. The dolphin show is excellent as is watching the fish and sharks being fed. There is also a real working farm that is a blast for the little kids. You can see a cow being milked or go into the petting zoo and pet the goats. There are also a few different play areas with swings and slides that are a great place to eat a picnic lunch at. Two thumbs up for the MN zoo!

The Minnesota Zoo has a lot of animals. They have a lot of exhibits also. The dolphins are a huge hit with our family. We like that there is a lot to look at. However, we think that the zoo is really lacking because they don't have some of the more popular animals that kids like. And, the animals that they do have that are popular are far away and can't always be seen. Because of this we think 12 dollars a person is a lot to spend when como zoo provides entertainment for the younger crowd. We do have an annual pass to the MN zoo. That is the only reason we visit.

Great place for the whole family and definitely get a membership if you go more than once a year because with admission for each and then paying for parking it pays for itself in 2 visits. The zoo camps are great fun for preschool and elementary kids. They get to see the animals up close and learn even more.
