I am originally from a city which was fortunate to have one of the top 10 zoos in the country. That being said, I had extremely low expectations
when visiting the zoo today.
I was pleasantly surprised with the Vegas Zoo. While, no, it didn't compare at all to the zoo back home, it did far surpass my expectations. They had a variety of species on exhibit and the exhibits were clean. You got an up-close view of most of the animals which was a treat for my 4 year old daughter. We particularly loved the goat exhibit and were able to go in and pet and feed the goats.
I thought the admission price was fair, as was the pricing on the items in the gift shop.
This is a great local zoo. A fun place to take the kids to and check out some really cool animals. I will definitely go back and am contemplating purchasing a family membership.
I encourage you all to give this a try!
