This is the second time we have visited this zoo with our children. Not only do they have a multitude of unique exhibits, it was very clean and the employees are incredibly friendly! We had another wonderful time! Impressive!

Both grandmathers, one grandfather, our daugher and husband, two preschool grands and a preteen grand and her mother all enjoyed a teriffic day at the zoo. We took many great pictures and each member of our party had a particular memory to share as we viewed the pictures taken by the two grandmothers.

The Toledo Zoo has always been a great zoo to visit, but even better now that they are improving and expanding. Nice new elephant area and Nature's Neighborhood is a fun place for the little ones to run, play and explore!

Small enough to see all in one day or visit often for shorter stays. Restaurants are very good as well. The new childrens play area is creative. The WPA... More

The Toledo Zoo is always growing and always improving. A great variety of animals, fantastic new elephant housing and adorable baby elephant, and a wonderful new outdoor exploration area for kids. We return on a regular basis and are never disappointed.

Zoo was very well maintained; and the "old" buildings and architecture were very interesting! Well worth spending time there!

We are zoo members and go 5-6 times every summer and 3-4 times more in off season. Great displays and the polar bears actually look happy. Great Zoo!!!
