The Good Zoo is a nice little place to take the family. Although you can find bigger zoos within a few hours' drive, the Good Zoo will defintely keep the kids entertained (especially the little ones!). The zoo lacks the bigger exhibits, like aquariums, exotic animals, etc..., but they have a great petting zoo and a really fun train ride. My grandkids (2&4) love it there and we go as often as we can!

While it doesn't compare to larger zoos, the Good Zoo is a great little distraction for the little ones for an afternoon. Kids can easily spend hours wandering from exhibit to exhibit watching the animals that one normally wouldn't associate with Wheeling WV. Even the animals you would associate, the kids love being up close. Feeding the deer is always a treat for the kids, and most would be happy just staying at the barn and feeding the goats or watching the new baby donkey. It's not very justifiable to drive back and forth to Pittsburgh, Cleveland or Columbus all the time for their zoos, so having this small zoo in our 'backyard' is a nice way to spend the afternoon.
