We visited the NC Zoo this past weekend 5/23/09 and had a great time. The zoo is well maintained and the animals appear to be healthy and well taken care of by the zoo staff. My only complaint is that when the zoo was closing and people were trying to get to the parking area they parked in the staff... more

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

A large zoo designed with guests in mind. Many wonderful exhibits and a great conservation message. Animals were healthy and active. The zoo's large size, though providing ample room for expansion, does make for long, boring stretches with nothing to see but grass. Its vastness may also lend to disappointingly short visits with small children or those with walking disabilities. more

You can make an all-day trip out of this one place. There's so much to see. Great thing this zoo is known for is large exhibits that allow the animals to move freely in a natural setting. Granted, that means you'll walk longer distances between each exhibit, but it's SO worth it. I try to go every year. Summer can... more

We live about 20 minutes away and buy a season pass every year. This Zoo is far superior to many others we have visited. Lots of animals in spacious habitats. There are staff members everywhere and anyone of them will be glad to answer any questions you may have. All of the animals are loved and well cared for. Don't... 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
