Very unhappy

by Mixon27

I went to the zoo with my friends family and my friends sister has a prosthesis leg. She is unable to swim so we didn't buy a ticket for her. Didn't think we needed to, but when we got to the gate the young man woulndn't let her in, but he did tell us if she was in a wheelchair her and the person pushing her would be let in for 'FREE" how is that that fair??? Very confussed and very,very unhappy and I don't know if I will return in the future because how my friends sister was treated.

-DISAPPOINTED

• Pros: Water park is nice
• Cons: Animals looked over heated. Worker's need to know what's going on.

A great family place

by cincimom

I grew up in Columbus in the 70's and 80's and saw Jack Hanna take the zoo from small and old to the great place it is today. We go back at least once a year to visit the zoo and my kids love it!!! It is hard to see it all in a day and be ready to walk a lot. The animals are in wonderful habitats and every year the exhibits get better. It is also a reasonable day for a family. You can pack a picnic and save on food. There are great places to sit and enjoy a picnic and relax. It is a great place to go anytime of the year and even on crowded days there is plenty of room to move around. The volunteers that are at the exhibits are a great resource and always have fun bits of information and are more than willing to answer questions. There are a lot of field trips in April and May, so it can get crowded with large groups.

Maybe I missed somthing. I saw the whole park in 4 hours.

I was ok. We could not see most of the amimals. train ride was boring. I saw one bear sleeping.

• Pros: many cool off areas, not too crowded, food
• Cons: sleeping animals, empty cages
