When I arrived I’ve noticed that there’s a park right next to the zoo which is nice. The fees to get in was a good price. The staff followed protocols I was so glad to see so many Hand sanitizer everywhere you went in the zoo. This zoo it’s pretty small not a lot of animals. The animals looked so sad when I went to visit. Even my 4 years old notice.

Was surprisingly larger than expected and the animals were pretty active. They seemed healthy and well looked after. Some sections were closed but overall it was mostly open and wasnt crowded. Fennec Fox is my personal favourite.

This is the gem of Attleboro. My family were members for years until my daughter got a bit too old for it. For a smallish local zoo, it is fantastic with a great selection of animals and a well maintained expansive playground just outside. The rose garden and the large park just top it all off. GReat place to visit and spend the day.

Very nice zoo. Small and worth every penny. It was so hot that day so a lot of the animals were inside. Even has a cute little water park. Nice for little kids.

Its a small zoo but smartly designed. You see animals immediately and everywhere you turn. They are well taken care of and the zoo is involved in a lot of conservation programs. Most exciting of all is the animal encounters. I did the red panda encounter and it was incredible. Animal interaction is not guaranteed, but we were lucky to see them very active, running all around us and even putting paws on us to check us out. The money goes toward conservation. Its a worthy cause and an exciting experience.

Nice little zoo, my girls 16 and 19 enjoyed it. They liked the leopard and the bear the most. The animals get pretty close to you.

Small but still really nice ! They have plenty of animals and also if you plan on going during the summer there is a splash pad for the kiddos that is a great build in feature as well the only complain I have is the food service I got 1 drink and 1 cheesy fry it took almost a hour to get my food I would understand it if it was busy or the orders where big but neither applied also everyones orders was incorrect so for that reason I would not order food I would bring my own .

A small but well maintained zoo in the heart of Attleboro. The star attraction is the White Lion. There’s a leopard, a couple of red pandas, kangaroos, an emu and river otters too. An hour is good to cover everything to be seen here.

Its really nice to see a affordable zoo. Its a shame so many people cant afford to experience all that zoos have to offer unless you pay 30 dollars a person, atleast at 9 dollars a person ( non-resident) shows capron values education over profit .

The play ground set up is terrible for little kids. The steps to climb up are like 18 high. And it continues like that at the top to. The last step before you slide down is about 24 high. Never saw a set up like that in my life.

Capron really cares about conservation and tries hard to educate. They are not a huge zoo, they have a very small gift shop and maybe 20 exhibits, but definitely worth a visit. They have lions! Really a wonderful time.

Kids love it here. Nice shady areas. Fun for all. The zoo was very busy today. One of the younger girls/staff was not very pleasant. She was rude and presented extremely annoyed by everything. Today was 90 degrees out the splash pad had every square inch with families and their children.

Loved this place since about 1999. Hasnt changed much, and thats a good thing. The play area is pretty new for the kids, and a lot of the veterans memorials are new, which is great.We go quite often and walk around the bike/running paths to get the kids exercise. The jungle gyms are excellent fun and exercise as well.Good time for all ages.

Review №45

Ive seen bigger and better zoos. Very run down and old. It boggles my mind how some animals were kept on an island with barely any sanctuary. Basically you could hop into the water and swim to the leemurs if you really wanted to. I also wasnt sure if Ronald MacDonald was an exhibit in the zoo? Lots of junk behind the buildings. I really enjoyed the rose garden nearby. You wouldnt be able to spend all day here. We spent about 30 minutes and observed the whole zoo and ate lunch.

Not a huge fan of animals being in captivity for entertainment. But it was quite surreal to be so close to lions... my first time. It was really cool to check them out at such a close distance!

They have a wonderful variety of animals, and its a great place to bring kids to learn. They hold events throughout the year, and have a small water park area for kids to cool off in during the summer months. The food and drink are reasonably priced as well.

Had a lot of fun. Very friendly staff, husband is an veteran so there was a discount to get in, already a very low price, zoo animals were all awake and playing. The lemurs were yelling the lion roared and the goats were hungry. Had a great lil family outing

Review №73

Definitely a small zoo and saw everything in one morning (coming from NC where our zoo is 500 acres- a different story ️) but we really enjoyed it! Staff was friendly and we got discounted admission through reciprocity with our NC zoo membership. It was quiet, no real crowds, plenty of animals to see. The lioness was roaring a lot which the kids loved (although she almost seemed disturbed by how vocal she was- not an animal behavior expert though!). We didnt take advantage of the splash pad but it appears very popular for a hot day! The playground outside the entrance was a nice bonus.

A very nice small zoo. Very well maintained and the animals seem very happy. The big cats and the nocturnal exhibit were some favorites. 2 adults and 1 kid was $24. There is also a big playground right near the entrance for the kids to play at.

This is a legitimately great small town zoo. Aside from a slightly undersized lion enclosure, the animals all look happy and with plenty of room to roam around. Highlights include the meerkats, red panda, and of course the otters

It was clean. The animals were able to be viewed easily and seemed to have a decent amount of space. The food was decent but the service was pretty slow. My three year old had a blast in the water area!

For what it is (a very small zoo) it does it very well! Their main attraction is the Lion Den, but they have a good variety of animals including a nocturnal exhibit. They have a large playground just outside the zoo (free to public) and inside the zoo a nice splash pad. It is perfect for younger kids that might not have the stamina for larger zoo. Season passes are great for repeat short visits on nice days.

Review №95

Went to Capron Park Zoo over the weekend to enjoy the weather and see some animals with my daughters. The price for admission is not bad and if you live in Attleboro you save $1.00 on each admission. All together it is an okay zoo. They have a beautiul wooden bridge you can walk across a man made pond stocked with koi and other fish and there are 2 islands on each side of the bridge that have lemurs living there when the weather starts to warm up during the night. It is a smaller zoo which i dont mind but i feel that some of the larger animals like the lions definitely need much more space to run around and be active than they have. I observed mabey 2 or 3 African Lions in a very small enclosure. :( I felt bad for them. A few other animals could definitely use more space as well. Thats why i gave 4 stars instead of 5.

Review №100

A good portion of the animals were sick according to staff, some seemed very uneasy of people around them and most exhibits are WAY too small for them and are not properly cared for, this zoo in general is way to small for the animals that are there to actually strive at under 9 acres total. Take the drive to Franklin park zoo where they have 70+ acres and the animals have the space they deserve to roam and feel safe. The animals here deserve better and its not fair.
