Little Rock Zoo

its nice and well maintained there is alot to see

Limited veriety of animals. Animals looked bored & unhappy. Tiny exibits. Can't bring food, or get any until after 5pm. Under construction for 5 years w/ little to show for it. Small selection of overpriced suveniers. Lack of restrooms. Unhappy staff. Zoo was clean, & few exibits stunk.

After arriving at the Little Rock Zoo, we were surprised at the condition of the White Rhino especially. Thin is the only was to describe this animal, ribs showing and looking stressed. The gift shop selection was sparse and everything we looked at was made in CHINA.There are other options for stuffed animals. We visited the Cafe and there was no healthy choices available. When staff was asked if they offered anything that wasn't fried, she responded with, "We have burgers?" This zoo needs a new director. 2.45 plus tax for a bottle of water. Lots of walking, few animals. Out of a 5 for best score, we give it a weak 3. Left feeling sorry for the animals.

Yes, they are always making improvements for the animals and the people who visit. It isn't the biggest or greatest zoo I've ever visited, but it's a wonderful learning place for the kids. It's a great local place to spend the day!

I'm surprised to see any positive reviews on here. We visited the zoo today, and they are still "improving" the place. The last time I visited was 3 years ago, and it was the same way. Today, we paid $30 for admission and spent the majority of the time looking at orange construction tape. Not to mention the lack of animals. It is a zoo, right????? I will not return. Though I live here, I can find other things to do in the city, and when we visit other cities and states, I will take my children to those zoos. Note for LR Zoo... close the whole place until your "improvements" are complete. It's really a dissapointment!

Overpriced. Unfriendly staff. Few animals. Lots of debris and construction and blocked areas. Unsightly enclosures. Bad odors. Would not recommend to anyone. Skip this one and do something better with your time and money.

Our trip to the Little Rock Zoo was Fantastic. Have not been in about 4 years, and what an improvement. From the redesign of the entrance to the animal exhibits - everything was fantastic. The majority of the animals were in their exhibits and all appeared healthy and happy. The zoo grounds were exceptionally clean and there were zoo employees everywhere with a smile on there face and very informational. It obviously is not a 'big city' zoo - but I was impressed.

They are always under construction and there NEVER seems to be any animals. We have lived here ten years and every time we go back hoping and find just dissapointment. Even with gas at 4.00 a gallon I would pay to drive over to the memphis zoo before I wasted my time with children looking at emtpy cages at this one!

The little rock zoo is making changes, but the changes that they are making are strictly cosmetic. Building new cafes and updating your entrance misses the point of what a zoo is. The animals are supposed to be the attraction so why build facilities and neglect the displays. I would not expect the Little Rock Zoo to be San Diego, but I live in Memphis which is a market similar to Little Rock. Our zoo is amazing. Our gorilla exhibit is not a briar patch complete with bunny rabbits. These animals are caged with NO natural native environment whatsoever. it is beyond sad.

The Little Rock Zoo is looking from the previous reviews. They are trying hard to give the place a face lift. There's a new entry, a new cafe will open soon and lots of new exhibits. The zoo actually has a lot of animals but they aren't always on display because they don't force them outside when they don't want to be outside. The animals don't seem depressed or sad to me. I've been to many zoos and you have to remember that this is a small, city owned zoo and they are doing the best they can with what they have. It's not going to be a San Diego Zoo or a Pittsburgh Zoo yet, but they are getting better.
