A great little zoo with a nice botanical garden to boot. The second oldest zoo in America is still going strong. Be sure and visit the insects and creatures of the night buildings. The rhinos rock, very cool that the sumatran rhinos had the first baby born in captivity in over a 100 years at the cincinnati zoo.

A terrible way to introduce children to the "wonders of the wild." A DVD at home would be better than seeing large animals like tigers and polar bears pacing and looking miserable. If you can't devote enough space for these animals to live reasonably comfortable lives, rather than simply to nervously pace like prison inmates, you should close the place down.

The animals are housed in cages and enclosures that are far too small. They are clearly miserable. Some are emaciated and all either pace endlessly or sleep in what is probably a tranquilized state. This is a terribly depressing place unless you enjoy seeing sad creatures.

They have closed off paths and made it difficult to get around. They hyped the wolf exibit which was nothing impressive. They hyped the new giraffe exibit. Only one giraffe came over to be fed and it ran away when they blared music to announce feeding time! The historic Elephant house is closed off only having an exhbit at both ends. They turned ...

I purchased tickets online when planning our trip. When we got there you had to park over a mile away. Apparently it was free admission day and the website did not tell us that. Call before buying tickets online.

I'm a big fan of zoos. My wife and I have been to many zoos, including the Atlanta Zoo, Cleveland Zoo, Smithsonian Zoo in D.C., Memphis Zoo, Tampa Zoo, Disney's Animal Kingdom, and others. The Cincinnati Zoo is simply awesome. I love this place and it's definitely worth a trip. It's much nicer than the Atlanta or Memphis Zoos, ...

The Cincinnati Zoo is a great place to be if you enjoy seeing emaciated animals in pens that are way too small. Not only are the pens too small but there is also no grass to be seen in the areas of many of the animals. It is possibly the most depressing zoo I have ever been too as all of the animals look malnourished to the point where they are ...
