A nice family/group outing any time of year. Safari Lights between Thanksgiving and Christmas each year is a tradition for our family and some friends. The animals are usually moving about at night. The paths are well-lit by decorative Christmas lights. The train ride is a MUST!

We like this little zoo alot. We're on our second annual membership, kids seem to never get tired of this place. We recently went to the Houston zoo which was big and confusing and crowded and made us miss the smallness of the Alex zoo.

Great atmosphere of Louisiana. Well kept and animals are very healthy. Great job of signage throughout the zoo.

This is one of the nicer zoos I have been to. It has grow so much since momma brought us there as kids. Lots of shade. Almost always a breeze. Nice even in the hot, hot summer.

Has a nice park for the kids to play after touring the zoo!

As far as zoos go, this has to be one of the smallest around, but it does offer a wide variety of southern "swamp" animals and insects, so it has a few items you might not see somewhere else. If you have kids, this is one of the few entertaining places to take them.

For a small town this is definitely a rare find. The zoo is well laid out with lots of activities for young and old. The train ride is great and lots of animals. GREAT PLACE

The Alexandria Zoo is no Birmingham, but there is plenty of variety. Train rides are worth the price, louisiana exhibit very interesting, they are constantly expanding or remodeling, reasonable season pass price, smoke-free, pleasant landscape, friendly staff....you will not regret your trip.

Pros: It had many species of birds and felines. It also has White Bengal Tigers. It was bigger than it sounded on the website, and was a very nice price. Cons: They changed their hours to close earlier, but hadn't put them online. Not much in terms of reptiles, or non-feline mammals.
