We had so much fun. But a lot of the exhibits were closed. Overall it was a great zoo, but I wish we had been able to see more of the animals. Excited to go back once construction is done. I am hoping they will expand some of the exhibits as some of the animals we saw spent quite some time packing the fence (painted dogs, Jaguar). And the little train ride was super fun and a great was to take a break from walking. The tour guide was hilarious and we loved learning more about the animals.

Our favorite zoo! Some reviews will complain about the price, or the outdated exhibits, or animals being inside, but we loved it! The history behind this place and seeing some of the old exhibits was what made Audubon so special. It is quite large and seems to be undergoing improvements. Staff is clearly knowledgeable and loved chatting with us. My husband's favorite was the white alligator, mine was Banana the macaw. We got to take part in a zookeeper talk/feeding as well! Parking is free and we had no problem finding a spot. After the zoo we walked over to the park and came back for our car.

Great place to bring the family. Lots to see and do. Definitely bring walking shoes and money. Lol. It is kinda pricey for admission. But it's probably the nicest zoo in the state. The reptile exhibit was me and my daughters favorites. There are so many cool reptiles I've seen before.

This place is fun and the dinosaurs are awesome. I enjoyed the monkeys, giraffes, and lions the most. I didn’t try any food here since there wasn’t the greatest options. I’d prefer to have snacks prepared. It’s was busy and parking was a bit difficult but not too bad. This is a great family adventure especially if you want the kids to have a blast. All staff was great and security was all around the perimeter. My family and I enjoyed our time from the moment we got there. All the animals looked great.

What a cool zoo lots to see this weekend. The dinosaurs exhibit was pretty awesome. They even had Dinosaurs rides for children. Next weekend is boo at the zoo.  The train is a tram ride, not an actual train, just a heads up. We spent a good amount of the day here and saw lots of animals.
