I have not been to the zoo for quite a few years. I am going to wpg and taking my 6 yr old grandson am really looking forward to it thought it was great the last time i was there and hopefully will not be disappointed but will judge for myself and if it is as good as I remember it it will be very enjoyable my grandson loves animals of all kinds going to be a real experience for him. Looking forward to my visit after many years.

Winnipegger Being Honest
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/16/09
I've been to the zoo several times in the past year and am excited to see what they are adding on in one of the sections However, I do agree that some exhibits are WAY too small, particularily the large cats. The facilities have never changed, I don't think they have even redone the wallpaper in the monkey house since my memory of ever ...
I liked that my child was able to see an assortment of different animals. The monkeys are fantastic! The Australian exhibit had a beautiful display of birds. I wish that there was a longer cage for the larger cats to go for a run back and forth as they always look bored sleeping, they need to stretch their legs too & there is obviously room, ...

A waste of money!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/27/08
Not worth the money! Most of the 'cages' were empty. If some enclosures are not up to provincial standards, why are they still open? If the majority of visitors are children, why aren't more washrooms available throughout the area??? Big disappointment. I apologize to out-of-towners who pay to see so little. It surely IS NOT one of Winnipeg's finest offerings!

A Mistreated Gem...No Surprise
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/20/08
They've very recently proposed some serious changes for the zoo, including the polar bear exhibit, and THANK GOD no condos on the park property. I do believe the zoo is in need of some restoration and upgrading however. The entrance fees are too low and should be higher to pay for an upgraded and more exciting product. The problem is ...
Winnipeg has one of the best animal exhibits. The animals seem happy and very well taken care of. The train ride is another thing that attracts the kids. However I do believe it is time the park upgrades its playgound located by the pavilion. Come on now that playgound is old as the hills it hasnt changed since i was a kid and that is some time ...

It's a great zoo!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/12/07
The Winnipeg Zoo has a great reputation around the country and even the world because of its low price and great exhibits. Avoid peak sunshine hours and go early spring to see babies!
Did you notice the only negative comments came from Winnipeg writers? It's another typical example of Winnipeggers shooting themselves in the foot. Have any of these critical reviewers been to a zoo in any other city? All zoos smell; they contain animals.
