Took the family to the zoo, overall we had a good time, but there were some issues. There really is not a lot to see. Not as many animals as I would hope to have seen. The park is pretty big, but seem relatively empty. The prices were a good deal considering the free parking, free shuttle and free tram.... more

The North Carolina Zoo is located south of Asheboro and about 40-minutes south of Greensboro. It is a very large zoo that is spread out which allow the animals to roam in a natural habitat. This sometimes hinders your view of the animals as they some times are hiding out of view. The best way to see it is by... more

We just got back from the NC Zoo in Asheboro. It was great. We only went one day and only saw the Africa part. We chose to go to Africa first because when they opened, everyone went to N. America! The parking lot was full by the end of the day and not anywhere near as busy as Africa. It... more
