The Asian Lantern Festival is an amazing event being organized at Zoo location. The night lights make the visits memorable, complete zoo is decorated with beautiful structures ornamented with colourful lights. The dinosaurs with lights gives a realistic feel articulated with sound effects. Even the night shows conducted at 9:45pm was an additional talented show, which added more to the overall audience.

It was very fun at this zoo. There were many things to see at this amazing zoo such as giraffes that you get to feed tigers, lions. Wonderful gift shop. My favorite part was the elephants. The gorillas were cool too. I would love to go back here again. The dinosaur exhibit was also wonderful. There was also a McDonald’s and Pizza Hut. Great for kids.

Entertaining and an experiential spot. Liked Lion, Elephants, Zebra, Rhino, Golden Monkey, Kangaroos, Flamingo etc. It has a boardwalk to primates, cats etc which is super cool, maples all along the walk. Train ride was fun, we were able to see Kangaroos. Decoration on Asian theme was fabulous. There are resting benches, cafes, ice cream parlor at many places. Waterfowl Lake is nice.

The lights are amazing! One of my favorite trips to the zoo! Each year I said I wanted to see the lights at Christmas and I finally made the time to go. It was worth it. I wish I had gone those other times that I wanted to. This might be an annual thing for me and my friend as long as Cleveland will continue to put on the show. Everyone was safe with their masks on and sanitizing, which made for strange photos throughout but still worth it.

Did the Christmas lights event. Overall, kids enjoyed it. Some very cool displays. Price was a little steep at $22 per person over 2. Got to see Santa, although his picture taking elf was a little more like the grinch. Only a handful if animals, but that was expected due to the cold weather. Lots of food and drink options but expect to pay special event prices. Staff was very strict on mask wearing, even when taking family pics in isolated areas.

Very nice park, map is helpful but the routes couldve been marked better. We seen the entire park in 5 hours walking with teenagers and older people. Most definitely can see the entire park in 1 day and have time to stop and see all the sights. Plenty of areas to rest. Be smart, pack a cooler and bring a wagon! Save yourself, lots of hills.-1 star for prices of things, poor directions without map and the fact that 10% of the attractions were unavailable. But I believe that is Covid related.

It was way different because Covid, but they did their best to make it enjoyable!

Absolutely beautiful. Well worth the money. Our Cleveland zoo went above and beyond to make a winter wonderland.

The zoo has always been a great get away, as a child and as an adult.The Asian Lantern displays are great to see, as you are walking through the zoo. Walking at night is the best.My kids especially enjoyed the acrobatic show, at the amphitheatre. Juggling, plate spinning, jumping through hoops, etc... We watched it 2x because they had a few acts that changed through the night.It saddens me that we dont live as close to the zoo as we used to. We went all the time.

It was after the Lantern Festival but the weather was good for the week so it was family funtime. We didnt get to see all of it but made it worthwhile. A lot of walking. The animal exhibits had very nice environments and the staff were helpful and informative.

We went for the Wild Winter Lights and it was really nice. We didnt expect all that much but we were really surprised they did it up extremely well. Will definitely be going back next year.

A great place to spend the day! The fall is especially awesome! The rainforest is currently closed due to construction, but plenty to do outside. We spent about 4 hours there.

Ambilight lights and beautiful holiday decor. Perfect for family visit or a romantic date night

A nice zoo. Considering Covid it was nice to be able to just walk around and see some things. Lots of areas closed, lots if paths closed off and many animals off exhibit. But it was a pretty nice zoo. Animal enclosures were not near and well thought out or well done as Cincinnati or St Louis but we would visit here again. The did not take out reciprocal membership, but with Covid the animals need food so we didnt mind too much.

Love the CLE zoo!!! Family friendly, date friendly, various generations and age friendly. Plenty to see and do. The zoo is designed so that as you walk you happen upon an animal as you leisurely walk through the zoo. Highlights for it family include the giraffes, elephants, aquatics (top of hill on the left), seals and tigers (top of the hill right).

Winter lights 2020! It was nice to be able to get out in a safe way and walk the winter lights at the Zoo. 2019 Winter lights at the Zoo was by far the best yet. This year seemed to slack a bit on the lights and activities, but this is a rough year. I still recommend others to get out and go walk through the lights.

Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is always a fun day. Ive been going nearly every year for about 30 years. If youre reading this in 2020 (currently fall), be prepared for some of the exhibits to be closed due to risk of Covid exposure for the animals. The tram is out of service at this point for the same reason. The hill or ramp to the aquarium can be a haul for little kids.In fall 2020 there is also a baby koala, which was fun and different.The elephant encounter is a standout experience, as are the wolves, primates/aquarium, and giraffes. That said, theres nothing that isnt worth your time. It just depends on what is your favorite, and where you want to stop and enjoy!

Asian Lantern Festival was very nice. No on cared about social distancing. We kept our distance. Most of the zoo blocked off. No animals to see. Hand washing stations around the park was a VERY NICE touch, we used them frequently.

I liked it, its just most of the animals were put away. I Understand why though, its because of this covid. If this covid wasnt around all the animals would be out. But out of all its a wonderful place.

Went to the Chinese Lantern Festival. It was great. They had 75 amazing illuminated sculptures scattered around the zoo. It was great. They also had Dinosaurs Around the World, which isnt as good in the dark but it was still pretty neat.

If you are looking for a nice free place to go on Mondays (Cuyahoga residence) then try the zoo. Open even during covid.

I love this zoo. We recently went to Boo at the Zoo for a Halloween celebration and it was AMAZING!!! The Halloween decor was so enjoyable and the dinosaur exhibit was very cool. They did an absolutely awesome job! I will go back again and again and again and again and......

Asian Lantern Festival is amazing. We chose the drive through option. Route is clearly marked. Lanterns are beautiful. Wonderful experience.

The folks at the Cleveland zoo did a great job. We did the drive thru and it was beautiful.

We did the Asian Lantern for the second year. This year we drove thru and it was the best time ever. As always the Zoo was extremely organized, the displays were better and we tied into the dinosaur exhibit, which was great at night. Please drive thru next year too!

The zoo keeps improving. The small sad enclosures that I remember as a child are almost all replaced. Animals have suave to actually enjoy and roam. They no longer look like office workers at 4 on a Friday, before a three day weekend. Was there this time for the Asian Lantern Festival. Always a good time. New lanterns and lots of fun sites.

It was a great experience to be there, especially during the Asian Lantern Fest.. Never witnessed a Tiger this closed.. Our boys enjoyed it.

Everytime I travel somewhere I have to go to a new zoo. This trip we made just for this zoo because of the Asian Lantern festival. Weve previously come to the zoo and loved it but this time there was the festival and it was absolutely beautiful from the lanterns, the shows and the food. I want to make a trip to come back next year. Plus who doesnt love dinosaurs, which was an added plus during our visit.

Good place. Went for the Lantern Festival which was nice and interactive. People do not social distance enough but for the most part everyone was wearing their masks.

We attended the Asian Lantern Festival last night. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and was overjoyed that the kids were able to experience the beautiful art. The show was a perfect touch added to the display.

I attended this years Asian Lantern Festival. The zoo looked amazing. All staff I interacted with were professional and helped remind people to follow social distancing procedures. The festival decorations were outstanding!

Really clean. Super friendly staff. The animals are well cared for and happy and the horticultural team makes that place look absolutely beautiful. If you can make it to the lantern festival do it! You wont regret it

The Asian Lantern Festival was incredible! The protocols in place made me feel incredibly safe. Not only that but one of the food trucks had some vegan options! :)

The zoo continues to improve, but like most it would benefit from fewer animals in larger enclosures.The response to COVID-19 has been great, particularly the days with car and access when events are taking place, such as the Asian Lantern Festival.

Asian Lantern Festival was amazing! This was my first time and it was a wonderful experience! I highly recommend for next year!

Great zoo to take the family. Lots of walking in the hot sun though. Be sure to take some water with you. There are plenty of places to sit as well. They have very large areas for the animals to roam around and a large variety of species to see. The rainforest is part of the zoo and is a must visit especially during the cold weather.

The Asian Lantern Festival was absolutely amazing. The Zoo is always a wonderful place to go for the young or aged.

It was a beautiful Monday morning on yesterday August 31, 2020 at the Cleveland Zoo. I enjoyed the day with my Granny ( grandson ) and my daughter. When entering the Zoo we were warmly greeted not only by the Zoo employees but by the vibrant displays throughout the park from the Asian festival and from the dinosaurs exhibits. The day was awesome we even got a chance to hear one of our favorite animal which is the tiger ROARRRRR. Just a day of fun on a Monday. Keep up the good work every year there is always something different although I do miss monkey island but the Rhino exhibit was a awesome site. Good job for a job well done.

Had fun even though it was cold and rainy, beside, it was free to get in.

My granddaughter absolutely going to Asian Lights every year. Once you get past the small crowds by the shop, you can properly social distance and take your mask off. Be sure to take a mask as it was a requirement to enter. They have beautiful cherry blossoms this year.

Amazing zoo! Takes up some hours, but so worth it. So many great views

All in all I think you guys did an excellent job and opening today and everyone maintaining their distance.I do have a complaint with the store director for the gift shop.  I was in the park today and as I was leaving, I wanted to go to gift shop.  There is not an entrance to it from inside the park. I asked the ticket people how do I access it and they said to follow the yellow rope and there will be an opening to get to gift shop.  However, you have to walk not only in front of the people coming into the park but you have to walk in front of the familys getting their picture taken. Once I got to the door I waited with another lady in which she just climbed the rope at the door for 5 minutes.  There was no associate at the door waiting.  Check the tapes (between 1:45 to 2:40pm). The one lady went in then I was going to and the store Director told me . .. I needed to go to the end of the line because I wasnt where I was suppose to be in the line. ... First, if she was waiting at the door she could have told me then.  when I first got at door it was just me and another lady. Maybe put some signs by the yellow opening directing people to get to gift shop or someway get to it from inside the park.. Very disappointed in the professionalism in a Store Director at how she handled the situation. Even when I explained the situation in how the employees directed me to go this way, she dismissed me and told me to go to the end of the line which had several people in by now.   I wait and wait get up front address the situation with her only for her to dismiss me again and say its our first day open and at least the gift shop is open.From one Store Director to another. She might need some more training in the people skills area. Very disappointed and I wont be back.Very nice job in the Park though.

Post covid. Same price. Half experience. Price gouges on every thing. I paid almost 4 bucks for a mcds drink. All the animals look miserable. One of the big cats just walk in big circles. So much so he has a grassless path he has marched. The bears were mostly laying staring at the walls. When a 5 and 7 year old see and ask why they are sad it strips the joy out of the zoo.

I really enjoy going to that Zoo it has changed so much since the last time I have been there.I have always enjoyed it as a kid and I enjoyed it even now that Im older I really enjoyed the new exhibits they have there.The dinosaurs all around the world is amazing just walking around that area hearing the Jurassic Park theme playing is awesome.Then going to the giraffe encounter and feeding the giraffes is amazing thats something I never saw when I was there at the zoo if you ever go to a zoo this year go to this one.

The zoo is great. I especially love seeing the snakes and monkeys. The elephant exhibit is awesome as well. I would highly recommend going there yourself.

Amazing Zoo! Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is always a fun day. My favorite part was the elephants and giraffes :)

The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is one of my favorite places to go! I love the animals and all the different types of plants! They also have great programs for kids. My daughter was a girl scout and we had an amazing time on an overnight trip at the zoo.

We went to the Asian Lantern Festival on Tuesday evening for the drive through night. The lights and displays were awesome, but we also got to see the dinosaur display and even some real life animals (like an huge elephant, a tiger, and some donkeys). There were also some Asian dancers live on stage! What a great night!

Had a fantastic time at the zoo. The lantern show was awesome! The walk through tour was the best.

As an adult, some things from your childhood stick with you. One of those things for me is dinosaurs. The dinosaurs exhibit at this zoo was amazing and probably a one of a kind experience. I will always remember this zoo because of it.

Many exhibits (bears, birds of prey, and many in the Rainforest and Primates, Cats, and Aquatics building) seem way too small. The Australian Lungfish barely has room to turn around in its tank. I know its AZA accredited, but its seems like they used the minimum measurement requirements. And so many loud after hours events (with alcohol)- Im sure the animals dont appreciate that.

It was very nice and good content for families! Not to be nitpicky but they could have done a better job at being more authentic. It just didnt feel Asian enough. Would recommend!

First time visitor. Really impressed by the overall cleanliness and closeness to the animals. We got to watch the grizzlies catch a fish and eat it. Will make a trip back. We really enjoyed our trip.

We have been members for 3 years now and love the experience. Our kids always have a blast, and the events like Asian Lantern Festival and Christmas lights are fun every time.

The Zoo itself was great and the Asain Lantern Festival was beautiful but social distancing during the night event was questionable.

Hands down, by far the best zoo I have been to this far along my zoo adventures! It exceeded my expectations and then some! I drove 3 and a half hours to get there and they surely did not disappoint. The Cleveland Zoo literally took my breath away! They have such a variety of animals it’s hard not to take multiple trips to each enclosure in one day. You can tell all the animals are very well taken care of. The enclosures are huge for the animals and very well adapted for the type of terrain they live in this wild. The grounds were well kept and the staff was amazing! There are not enough good things I can say about the Cleveland Zoo. I can’t wait to visit again and am already planning my next trip.

What a huge disappointment this zoo was. Travelled 2 hours to see it for my 50th birthday. I realize with covid a lot of things changed, but I really felt that almost all of the enclosures were too small. No staff was around anywhere except where you first come in. No one to ask questions to or help guide you. Tripping hazards everywhere. I sprained my ankle in a pothole on one of the walking paths and split my knee open. No one around to help. Sent my kids to the concession stand for first aid. They had nothing. Had to wait for someone to drive up to help. I only got to speak to the medic who attended to my wounds. Paid full price for admission and couldnt even see the rainforest. Not one staff member inside the aquarium for guidance. No one tending to the animals. Overall it wasnt worth the trip. I wont ever go back there.

This is the first time we visited the zoo, and was impressed. Clean, great view of animals, lots of space to explore with young ones. Animals and caretakers equally seemed happy and healthy. We visited on a Wednesday morning, during Covid-19 era, and got a membership.

Asian Lantern Festival drive thru experience was thoroughly enjoyable and worth the price of admission.

Cleveland Metroparks Zoo known fondly as The Zoo has been a landmark feature of the Greater Cleveland area for decades. Its a throwback to simpler times of family excursions.

Nice Metro Park. Has alot of different walking paths . Its so beautiful in the fall

Good for a family outing. Just not the right spot to be at when its too hot as the animals tend to stay in the shade because of the heat.In general a perfect way to spend a day close to nature and animals are right in the heart of the city.

A great zoo with awesome animals. Staff is friendly and theres something for everyone

Great zoo exhibits as always. Beautiful sunny day. However, with masks REQUIRED I saw groups without masks on. Zoo staff needs to be on the grounds to make this mandate happen. Looking at numerous other reviews about the lack of supervision regarding social distancing and no masks, the zoo does not respond to anyone on their future adjustments to correct the situation....

Was a beautiful drive through! They do an amazing job on Christmas decorations and everyone should see it!

It was so much fun to see all the exotic animals. I felt like they took good care of the animals, they had large habitat enclosures. It was neat to see elephants and lions. Go check it out with the kids for sure.

Cost way to much took the 3 year old to lake farm park the following weekend. She was asked which was better days later. The answer right away was the farm park. The zoo for 2 adults and a baby was 125 dollars with all inclusion a stroller and a scooter for my handicapped wife. The farm park was under $25. Our beautiful baby girl would rather go to farm park if given the choice.

Great zoo. As with any zoo it all depends on the activity of the animals. The Chinese light festival decorations are amazing at night. The only thing I want to make sure people are aware of is the distance you will cover at this zoo. I’ve been to many zoos and here it felt like the exhibits were quite spread out and there was a lot of walking between exhibits, more so than other large zoos I’ve been.

Went for lantern festival. They were very creative and plentiful, but best suited at dark. Tbey said it would be an hour+ to do the drive through, but was 40 min. At 4 mph. This cost $20.00 per person. May be a fair price for walking and taking your time, but to keep moving for traffic flow...?

This zoo is a great place. The decorations that they have out for the Chinese lantern festival are amazing. Definitely a sight to see.The animals are usually out, although this time around - due to COVID they had areas blocked off (some animal exhibits) (playground was closed).The one thing that has always bothered me about the Cleveland zoo is the HUGE hill you have to go up to get to the “aquarium” (aquatics) or the large bridge (which is actually very awesome!)I wish they had more fish and marine animals...overall it is good, but we prefer the Columbus zoo.

I went for the koala and she didnt disappoint. (If shes asleep when you go, check back later because shes worth it.) Covid left some of the attractions close but the fact their was no crowd more than made up for it. Every exhibit was top notch and the entire staff was truly exceptional!

The lantern festival a great time with kids, very beautiful displays, all covid measures taken, staff was friendly, food was nice, dropped $50 on stuffed animals, had great pictures, mostly clean environment along the paths/shops. There were a lot of displays for this event, and it was just the right amount of guests (not overly crowded). But, I found it very disturbing that most animals were excluded to mostly one per exhibit looking lonely and sad, and each one behaved with high anxiety or severe depression. There was a tremendous amount of work done on plants and care of the land/shops around the zoo, over the actual “enclosures” land. Very little grass for most.The only two black bears looked tranquilized or dead with their eyes open. The two grizzlys were slumped over rocks starring at the crowd, never moved. Their water was black and sewage looking.The rhino,tiger, and snow leopard were pacing non stop. The lion was crying loud like a sobbing sad house cat and it never stopped as it echoed the area. From what I’m told (all day everyday, weeks on end now) Their enclosures are somewhat small, and they deserve more. There were hundreds of staff members standing everywhere with no real purpose as the lantern event has little service needed.. Maybe the money being spent on elaborate plant displays and over staffing should be used to give the animals better interactive environments With lots of greenery . Always been a fan of the zoo but these animals looked sad. The tiger really turned our stomachs. I hope changes are made.

Amazing dinosaur experience! Zoo was great but the dinosaurs, being life-like, really completed the experience. I recommend purchasing the total experience passes, gets you into pretty much everything. Takes about 4 hours to get through.

Ill give a three, I had a great time, but it closes at 4 with the corona thing going on and I live 2 hours away, its the same regular price as a full ticket with half the stuff. Would be nice if the cut ticket prices in half and offered 2 days for price of one.. whats the point of the night time exhibits of your not open when it gets dark?

Im not originally from Cleveland, or even Ohio. Ive visited many other zoos, and they were nice. They all seemed to nickel and dime you. Heres an interactive exhibit, $2 please, here is a special view for this animal, $5 please. The CMZ isnt like that. Sure there is a 4D movie theater, a carousel for kids, and an interactive rainforest, but these are big things, not small exhibits that tug at your wallet. The zoo is huge, its always clean, its built into a local metro park and its sure to fill 2+ hours easy of your day. If you have little ones, enjoy the quiet ride back home after theyve fallen asleep. Its a wonderful zoo. *Nearly everyone was wearing a mask and most people were social distancing. It was a very pleasant experience.

Fantastic atmosphere and a great time during the Summer Lights Festival, masks enforced. Animals seem very happy!

The new Dinosaurs exhibit is so much fun! Add to that the Asian Lantern festival and the everyday experience with the animals and this is the perfect time to visit.

Visiting my M&FIL in Mansfield. Met up with SIL, nephew, and husbands college friend and kids. Had a good time! Walking up the ramp to the monkeys was an experience my legs wont soon forget.

The Zoo of my Childhood is sadly not nearly as good as it used to be. More and more exhibits are being closed. The Zoo has a terrible layout with tons of walking. Staff couldnt be bothered to assist. I recommend supporting nearby Columbus Zoo and Aquarium or the smaller Erie Zoo for a better experience.

I love the Zoo and Asian Lantern Festival they do it there

Been coming here since I was 6 and it never gets old. Small note though - the Rainforest is not open until mid to late November.But there are still plenty of things to see in the Zoo portion. The fish/cat/ape/monkey exhibit is a close second to the rainforest.I love this zoo. I have been to over 20 different zoos across the country and this is by far one of the cleanest and friendliest zoos.Oh, and definitely check out the dinosaurs!!!!

Fun place but no shuttle running and noisey maintenance work that blocked out way thru dino exhibit.

I love cleveland zoo and under normal circumstances would give 5 stars, especially for the Asian lantern festival i attended last night. However, perhaps I was naive when I thought their statement about selling a restricted number of tickets actually meant social distancing world be possible. It was completely impossible given the crowd and was definitely the highest risk activity I have participated in since all this began. Recommend high caution when considering going to one of the final weeks.

Such a great zoo! And I’ve been to many around the US. The Halloween program was a fun time for the kiddos

I have never been so frustrated in my life! I have distanced my self all summer. Then I bought a ticket to the zoo. Big mistake no direction no guidance. Most wore no mask. To many people. It was impossible to distance. Why? Greeeeeeeeeed!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cruise the Zoo was a wonderful experience! So much fun to get out of the house as a family, see new surroundings, see the animals. They offered tracks you could listen to through each part of the tour, explaining what you would see as well as different facts, and information. There were emergency pull offs and food/beverage stands available along the way. From the time we entered to the time we left, it was an hour. Perfect time, looking forward to going to the zoo and supporting them! Thank you for this opportunity!!

I certainly love our zoo. My husband and I used to go about 2 or 3 times a week. The flowers and animals are wonderful. While visiting the zoo during the pandemic I was disappointed that no one ever cleans the tables by McDonalds. Also, there are no hand sanitary stations near the eating area by McDonalds. Quite disappointing as it is important at this time.

The Asian lantern festival was done well. The beautiful animals are still the stars of the show. When the sun went down it was a wonderful fun family experience.

The zoo was very nice. It had many animals to see such as elephants, giraffes, red pandas, camels, and more. The park is spacious and clean. There are teams to take you to different exhibits. It’s very fun for kids with some playgrounds here and there. Lots of benches for resting because a lot of walking gets done here. It’s very pretty and fun. Educational too. The prices are alright. It’s worth it when you have get to spend time with your family or friends.

This zoo continues to get better every year. They continue to update their exhibits and i am always finding things in the animals exhibits for enrichment. They have a good amount of food and drink vendors throughout the park As well. The park is very clean and the staff is helpful.

CRUISE THE ZOO WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!!!! I’ve been going to the Cleveland Zoo for over 30 years and this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. We are zoo members and love the zoo. Not being able to go due to Covid was one of the things we were really missing. This was my wife and sons first time out of the house in two months. We were really excited to do something family friendly and safe. I totally expected the line to be miles long just to get in but it wasn’t. We hardly waited at all. We were greeted by friendly employees and they were so genuinely appreciative of us being there. Our only child is two so we were not sure if it would be enough to keep his attention but he did really well except for the couple of against the rules horn honks. They had streaming audio to listen to and a plywood cutouts for a scavenger hunt. In the areas between exhibits they had Disney Princess Actors and Captain America. We saw an owl, a tiger, bears, reindeer, a leopard, giraffes, flamingos, elephants and kangaroos. They even had pull off areas for food and beverages. This was such a great concept and we thought it was really cool to drive around the zoo. I read that the zoo will be extended our membership for the time they will be closed. If this is the case we will be donating the amount of our membership back. I hope others do the same and that you didn’t miss the amazing opportunity.

Love this zoo! It may not be the best one Ive ever been to, but the prices are fair and they have a nice assortment. It was kid friendly. A great choice to get the kids out of the house during covid-19.

I absolutely LOVED AND NEEDED the Asian Lantern Festival last night. The metroparks zoo did amazing transforming it! It was amazingly beautiful

The zoo is always a fun activity. Reguardless if youre there to see the animals or any other event they hold. My daughter went to the festival a few days ago and she loved all the lights! The food was great as well. And everyone kept a decent distance from one another.

I think they need fewer types of animals to give them more space. Some exhibits are nice and big, but there are a lot of other ones that seem too small for the animals. Also, a lot of the exhibits needed groundkeeping. They had overgrown grass and weeds. I also didnt like that the sleeping and shade areas were not in a place where you could see the animals. It was hot the day we went and I think the animals were probably resting somewhere cool, but I couldnt see them. Of all the animals they said they had, I only actually saw about half of them.

Went for Zoo lights and it was a blast and absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend going.

This was my first visit to the zoo in 20 +yesterday and I couldnt believe how nice the Clezoo gas become. I was 100% blown away by ever aspect of the park. Way to go Cleveland!!!!

This zoo is humongous I had an awesome time and got to see a lot of cool animals my son had a blast definitely recommend this zoo to anyone

The zoo closes at 4pm but the Asian latern festival starts at 6:30pm. So didnt get to do the actual zoo. Went for the latern festival. Ir was well done. Ive been to asia many times so for me it wasnt that exciting but they did well with the show and the laterns for Cleveland. Must buy tickets ahead of time

Great environments for the animals. Make sure you use the online zoo map its much less confusing than the map they give you.
