I have been to this zoo 2 times now. I love this zoo!! It is a little more expensive, but it is a very nice zoo. The animals seem happier then in most zoos i've seen. They will actually get up and walk around (well, not all the time!) Both times i've been there the gorilla would come right up to the glass and just watch you and he/she would ...

Loved Sedgewick County Zoo!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/16/08
I loved the children's farms with petting zoo and baby animals.The bridges and distinctive walkways made all the walking more enjoyable. I also loved the themed sections of the park. For Father's Day they had a car show and an Elvis impersonator! We had family from 1-50 in age and all 5 of us enjoyed this zoo. We were very disapointed ...
I have been to many zoos in the Midwest and would rank the SCZ as one of the best. Only rivaled by the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, St Louis Zoo, and maybe edged out by the Oklahoma City Zoo, SCZ has a great balance and variety of things to see. The layout of this zoo is one of the best as there is easy walking distance from exhibit to exhibit. The ...
It was a nice way to burn an afternoon but $42 for a family to just get in, then $8 for the stroller, $2 per drink long as it was not in the souvenir cup as that one is more, and don't even add up the foods... So like most things with your family, not the most affordable.
Lots of construction, I look forward to seeing it when it is ...
The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because of the construction and if there were a few more cool off spots other then that the family loved it. Will be back again.

A Family Favorite
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/23/07
My family loves this zoo.
Since around 2000, they have been adding on new, fun exhibits. It's the perfect size (not too spread out like the one in KC) to walk around, and has a great selection of animals. The new gorilla exhibit is very nice.
Sedgwick County Zoo also gives the animals more room to roam than some zoos (see Topeka) and the animals seem well cared for.
Must see: Gorilla exhibit, lion exhibit, Sea Otters

we have been to 32 zoo's this is by far the worst of them all.the space for some of the animals was a sad thing to see.
