we got rained on in the afternoon, but we didn't care. The Jacksonville Zoo was even better than I expected. It was setup well to see all the animals. Expect to spend the whole day!
Its very up close and personal, they have unique animals. It is a very neat and clean zoo. Take the train ride, you will get a chance to see things you wont by walking through.

Disappointing--Very Disappointing
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/01/09
I love animals and I always enjoy trips to a zoo. Well, almost always. The Jacksonville Zoo was very disappointing. The exhibits areas were small and poorly maintained.

Always lots to see at the Jax zoo. We went again on 13 December and the Jaguar was out...always cool to see. If you go now, they have the Stingray exhibit. The kids can pet the stingrays, which is way cool. This attraction is easy to do in 1/2 of a day. There are also several other activities close by such as: Huguenot Park (drive on the ...
Very Clean, lots of animals, less pavement than in regular zoos. Great family location. Beautiful combination of animals and the environment/gardens.

fantastic zoo!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/22/08
this zoo was the best. i have been to the washington zoo and i thought that was the best but this topped them all. the animals were so close that the kids did not want to move on to other exhibits. the monkeys were the best. my kids were so fasinated how close they were and we were there for a half hour interacting with them. everything about the zoo was great. we were really impressed.
