I loved the train ride and animals. There was a peacock that traveled all over the zoo. You can tell he runs the show there. He was so beautiful when he was trying to scare the other birds by spreading his feathers and shaking them. And this blue macaw there was actually trying to talk to us. He was so funny and beautiful. Only thing is i hate with the Covid-19 pandemic the zoo was basically empty. When the pandemic is hopefully over please go visit these magnificent and amazing creatures!

It was so fun!! Loved the elephants and wished the lions and tiger had walked around but they are cats so whatever. The ostrich and giraffes got really close to us. The workers were really nice and it was awesome for only $10!

We always enjoy coming here! Fun even with COVID restrictions in place. Everyone was very safe and we saw most of the animals. Love our little local zoo! And the best train ride ever! Our toddler talked about it the whole way home!

Astonished at the depth of the Museum inside the Zoo...Dont miss it! Some exhibits were closed. And you have to Ask for a map...signage is not so easy to follow but beyond that..alot of outstanding animals here. Few zoos can say they have a White Tiger

I actually thought this zoo was nice. I enjoyed it and so did my kids. I recommend going earlier in day of course. It has shaded areas but the humidity tore us up. I would go back if Im in town.

The Montgomery Zoo was a fantastic place to visit for the day. The Zoo is larger than it seems from the outside and the staff was friendly. The animal exhibits were well kept and unlike other zoos I have visited in the past, almost every animal was awake and wandering around when we visited. It was a great experience and Id love to take my family again the next time we visit.

Great Zoo with quite a few species. We had a wonderful time all the staff we interacted with were very friendly and knowledgeable. Lots of stuff for children to adults to enjoy! All the animals looked very well taken care of.

A family member celebrated 10 years being cancer free at the Montgomery Zoo.We had a great time celebrating this milestone. We had a great time seeing lions, tigers, a bear giraffes, elephants, etc. We also rode on the sky lift. All in all, we had a super time! I recommend a visit to the Montgomery Zoo.

I LOVE the Montgomery Zoo! The staff are friendly, kind and helpful! It feels like you are in your very own back yard! AWESOME!

Its an older zoo but wow its beautiful. Lots of shade. Sky tram was great! The hoofstock yards are AMAZING!!

Great for the size. The museum is air conditioned so it gets a bit more traffic than it can comfortably handle. Everything is labeled well and flows nicely, the train is a neat addition, but some exhibits only have one good viewing angle and the reptile house smells a little unkempt.

I moved away from Alabama 4 years ago and I still dream about this place. This is the perfect zoo and my happy place is right infront of their otter tanks. The layout is convenient, the train is cool, you can feed fish and giraffes, I remember there’s paddle boats somewhere. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss this zoo.I hope to revisit Alabama one day specifically to go to this zoo.

Beautiful animals. Fun for the whole family.

Enjoyed the zoo my toddler loved all of the exhibits the museum and the train.

Best zoo ever!A fantastic example of a well cared for facility.The sky lift ride is a must. It was very well placed, you get a wonderful over view of all the animals.The Mann museum was expansive & the exhibits were great.The cafe was run with efficiency & the restrooms were clean.

Seeing the animals is thrilling especially for children. Would definitely recommend coming in the morning so its not too hot. Just wish there would have been more food options.

Firstly, the reptile enclosure were NOT CLEAN! There were ants all over the one of the snakes Face and eyes. The other thing I’ll like to speak on is the otters water. I have photos and video of how green and mucky it was. Not to mention there were random objects such as a broken slide. Which I also have photo proof as well. Also there were multiple animals in the same enclosure that looks to be placed randomly. Such as a wolf and an Ant Eater in the same environment. The place just looked like everything was thrown around. There was trash and everything above everywhere. Did not enjoy my time.

We love the Montgomery zoo. Very shady and quiet and you can spend a whole day at the Zoo taking your time picnicking and going to the museum. The bathrooms are always clean and stocked well. The food is reasonably priced and fast good. The park has plenty to do next to the petting Zoo. Its a very nice zoo. The museum is very big and its nice to go inside with air conditioning or warmth in the winter. This zoo has a lot if hands on for the kids.

Over all not a bad day, the only issue is with the tiger. The tiger was miserable, pacing back and forth to the point where there was a trail. I still feel so bad for that poor animal.

Call me i could make it better. Would love a job

It was great except for the train ride. The train was very boring, all you see are trees vines on the fence and some turtles in the water. Go for the skylift its great you get to see everything.

A very nice zoo. Wonderfully small so you can see everything without being completely worn out. Had an amazing stingrat petting tank and the regular exhibits had very happy animals that would come up to the glass. Also, it was a warm day but there was a lot of shade cover on the paths and misters to cool you off. Also had an awesome playground for kids :)

I had an exceptional experience when we visited the Montgomery Zoo! It is an adventure in which all age groups will enjoy.

The animals seem well taken care of and is a very nice zoo

My children and myself had a blast with our visit to this zoo. Everyone was friendly ... The gift shop workers were very helpful. Have always had a wonderful time ever time we visit. However I do wish the gift shop prices would be a little more inexpensive... But other than that this is a perfect place to come and visit.

Smaller than Atlanta but, bigger that Birmingham. This zoo had so much charm and character. The train and sky ride were extra but well worth the money. We had an absolute blast feeding the giraffe and exploring the exhibits. My daughter also loved the park and petting zoo area and it was a nice spot to step away from the traffic and relax.

Not to big, alot of smaller animals in my opinion No gorillas which I personally love. But kids loved it so thats always a plus

We ALWAYS have a great time while visiting the zoo. Its a friendly zoo, and the price is right for what they have. My daughter is 3.5, and she loves it there, especially feeding the giraffes!! The Stingray exhibit was open this time, and we LOVED it. We got tickets for the private feeding session, and it was really cool... all the kids in there (and the adults, too!) enjoyed it.We went when the high was going to be 88 and cloudy, and that is seriously the best time. The water misters were on, and thats always a pleasure!All of the animals were out, but most the big cats were being lazy, as were the otters (my fave). We happened to be there while the vets were giving West Nile vaccines to the eagles, so that was interesting to watch (the vets were also checking on the wing and foot of one of them... Athena, I think). We happened upon a presentation at the lion exhibit, and I learned something new about lions that are kept in captivity... always good to learn... my daughter thought the lion skull was awesome!The restrooms were clean, all the staff we encountered were friendly, and helpful, and the zoos landscaping was on point.

We took ou one year old. She seemed to enjoy seeing the other kids more than the animals. We all had fun given we are in the middle of a pandemic.

Exhibits are really nice. Get tickets for the sky lift. Youll thank me later.

First timer here; This zoo was actually clean. Ticket service was very friendly. Lots of varieties of animals. Def recommend

Love this zoo! Lots of animals and a big playground. The train ride is a nice break from walking and the sky lift gives amazing views! The petting zoo is fun, but touching the stingrays is the highlight of the day for my kids.

I loved this zoo; they had some unique enclosure designs, the animals looked healthy and well cared for, there was some great enrichment, and the keepers were all willing to chat. I also loved that they had the attached nature center, which really let you delve deeper into the natural history. 10/10 would visit again

I love how the zoo keepers talk to the kids and let us know whats going on with the animals

This is an awesome zoo! All of the staff is friendly and the facilities are very well kept. If you go soon there are 4 baby Jaguars in the exhibit. There is also a exibit winner you can feed parakeets. They will come and sit on your feeding stick. Defiantly worth a visit if you are in the area and even if you arent.

My mom has dementia & doesn’t always engage in activities now. When I’ve taken her to the zoo, she seems to enjoy it & has interacted some. Also sometimes saying what some animals are. She has days that she’s very aware of things & I can tell the zoo has been good for her. You can rent the motorized carts for $22 & they do have a speed adjustment on them. Easy

Friendly staff, excluding the Overlook Cafe. The property was clean, small, but my children loved it and had a blast. They have a lot of events going on and the animals seem really well taken care of. We love going here and will continue to go back. Im going to assume the Overlook Cafe experience was because of how busy it was, but Ill likely never visit the cafe again.

Nice place to hang out with kids. Staff at souvenir shop could be more courteous.

Wasnt hardly any animals out and they charge way to much. Iv been here a couple of times when it was a pretty day and they would have most of the animals put Up. I do love the fact they have sting rays you can pet. That was awesome.

Perfect size for small children. Its dangerously hot outside right now but we had fun..

First time doing an event at the zoo, and I have to say it is a must. The lights and atmosphere for the Christmas festival was very entertaining. So entertaining I bought a year memberahip, and the Christmas festival is included!!! Go see the animals or the lights!! Great place to take the family. I took all 4 of my kids and my lovely fiance.

We love the zoo and with three little ones is hard not to! Glad we are members and glad we are able to visit. The overlook café is a bit basic in its offerings, but its better than nothing!

We had a blast here. Train ride was awsome.

Things I liked:- newly added stingrays- helpful workers- parakeet feedingThings I didnt like:-The animals looked bored-There was a lack of shade for people and animals in cages- no enrichment toys for the animals- lack of animals- lack of clean water for animals-stingray tank needed to be cleaned- not a lot of room for big cats to roam around

This is a wonderful zoo. The animals look healthy and happy. Its a great place to spend a couple of hours on a pretty day.

We went even though it was gonna rain to take my grands, they loved it, a few animals didnt make an appearance, but several where moving. They have been talking about it since we left

Great place to bring the family and walk around. Face mask are only required if walking inside of a building.

Had a great time ad usual. Make some time to see the Mann Museum. Preserved animals you may never see up close.

This is a awesome zoo. They have lots of fun things to do like the, skylift, train ride, and a pretty good place to eat while you are there.

This is one of the best Zoo we have ever been to. Just so amazing. The staff was so friendly. Very inexpensive place for the whole family to spend the day. The concession food was good and all so inexpensive. Thehippo and mom was a show in its self.

Everyone had a blast! Fun, quiet, clean

THE MONTGOMERY ZOOWhat a hidden treasure!We spent the day at the zoo in Montgomery, AL and had a wonderful time.FACILITY:The facility is beautifully maintained. The landscaping and lush greenery made even a warm 80°F sunny day feel shady and cool. There are lots of shady pathways to walk between exhibits. Nothing seems too far away.FOR THE KIDS:There were plenty of kids activities including a petting zoo next to a large playground and a special needs playground.We really enjoyed the Parakeet Enclosure and the SkyChair ride and the Giraffe Experience.DINING AND SNACKS:There were several small snack bars on property never too far away for cool drinks.There is a centrally located large dining location that overlooks lions, tigers, the Giraffe Feeding Experience, and the train station.IMPROVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES:Online Tickets - two bottlenecks for customers are getting tickets at the entrance, and ordering food.Fixes:Customers who order tickets online ahead of time should be able to scan and walk right in, bypassing the ticket line. We waited 15 min at the start of the day just to get in the park. Unnecessary.The dining cafe should be upgraded to handle large crowds quickly. Grab and go cafeteria options. Self checkout.If you are close to Montgomery, AL, I definitely recommend the Montgomery Zoo for a wonderful picnic in the park with your wild animals.

Amazing zoo. Large easily viewed enclosures. Green grass where animals are kept. Shaded trails. Feeding the giraffe was amazing. Baby pygmy Hippo. Super friendly stingrays. Thr Mann museum was great. Loved everything

Great place, loved the animals and the food and drinks were yummy, just has some expensive extra activities.

We had a wonderful time! Some of the exhibits need a little more TLC but overall it was a wonderful trip!

A wonderful experience so pretty soo, well care animals so big and the workers are super extremely kind I loved it and the kids as well

It was great seeing the animals. Excellent view with the sky lift. Affordable admission fee. Worth the visit

The kids absolutely loved it! Much better than the Birmingham zoo. They have a train (included with admission) and a skylift which I highly recommend for $5 a person.

Been to over a dozen zoos and this one is at the top. A little dated displays but great variety of animals and good views of them.

Day of fun with my grandson. He loved the train ride!

Great experience good staff had alot of fin with my family

I took my kids to the zoo and there were only two food options, which was understandable because of the virus, but the manager working the food place, Kwonga, was very rude to me. My kids didn’t know what they wanted to eat and I felt the manager was rushing us to decide. She did not have good customer service. Also her phone rang in the middle of us ordering and she answered it. She was very rude.

Great for everyone. Individual. Families. Groups. Educational. Fun. Lots to do! Train ride. Sky lift. Food while watching the animals in the exhibits. Play ground. Petting zoo.

Such a wonderful zoo. We had a blast. Heres some pics my wife took there!!

Very cool place. Animals were out and get very close to some of the animals.

One of the best zoos I have been to. Clean. Fun. Lots of animals. Go at 9am and you will see more animals

Easy to get to. Not very crowded on days there are no field trips. Great place for all ages. The walkways could use fixing up. A few areas have broken concrete and are uneven. Definitely check out the Mann wildlife center. There are awesome displays of stuffed animals in there.

Great zoo! Good size for small children,a preschooler can see the whole thing without getting too tired. Zoo admission also includes the Mann Wildlife museum and the stingray petting, both which are worth doing. When entering the zoo, I recommend going to the right first since the playground is to the left. If you go right first you can do the whole zoo and end at the playground. There is also a train and skylift which are both enjoyable. They also have pygmy hippos which are adorable. At Christmas they have a lights display as well, so worth the visit during the holidays.

The animal living areas are unkept well. Paths are well labeled. They have a chair lift and a train you can ride on to enjoy the layout of the zoo from different perspectives. Friendly and helpful staff.

The staff rode really fast near pedestrians in their golf carts. There was an animal in the petting zoo with a hurt paw. The zoo train ride was fun. Many exhibits to look at.

Great place to visit with children during Covid.

Great Zoo! We had a wonderful day.. the animals are easy to see and were out moving around. Worth the entry fee and the 1.5 hour drive. We will be back!

We have fun every time we go...and we literally go every week! People are so nice and kids love to play on the playground in between visits to the animals.

Had a nice visit back again in Montgomery! I have not been to the zoo since it opened. Wow what a change! The zoo looks like they are trying so hard but funding is desperately needed for not only the animals but some paint to freshen up the buildings. It would be nice for a club to donate their time to repair and paint the structures. That said.we had a very nice time 5 adults and one 7 year old child. They were setting up lights for the annual Christmas display. I would say go. It is not expensive..but entertaining in a calm manner. BTW we did not visit the Mann museum but if you are into taxidermy I am sure you will like it.

We arrived kind of late but the kids had a blast seeing the animals they got to. Staff was helpful upon arrival we also made some friends inside the zoo!

Beautiful Zoo. Very Fun. Ride the Sky Safari!! We visited in September and many of the animals were out and about. We also enjoyed one of the keeper talks. It was brief and informative. They showed how the lions learn to perform various behaviors like opening their mouths WIDE so the vet can clean their teeth!

It was a wonderful experience , I would absolutely visit again. The animals were well cared for.

Montgomery zoo is the best zoo that I ever visited. The atmosphere is extremely awesome and the animals live as if they were in their natural habitat.

We always have a great time here the kids love going there and they learn alot as well. the staff had some animals out and told us all about them and was happy to answer questions about them i hope to go back for years to come

I love that the zoo has sensory bags for kids with sensory processing disorder. Between the sensory bags, the signs that warn you of places that are too loud, the picnic areas, the great diversity of animals, and the petting zoo, my three autistic kids had a really great time!

This was a really nice zoo. We have been to several national zoos, and have yet to see the animal availability that is here. Every animal was it and visible from several viewing angles. All animals seemed healthy and happy. All in all, its a really nice, local zoo. Definitely recommend.

A season pass is great. Friendly staff Great place to enjoy.

It was a pretty cool museum, even with missing features due to COVID-19. Alot bigger than I expected for sure, very clean and i loved all the educational yet funny scrips by every piece. The zoo was cool. Ive traveled to alot of zoos in the US and this one, though not as big, had the advantage of being closer to the animals in the exhibits. In addition, almost all the animals were active too so that was great.

Loved it.We joined and we thiught the zoo was nice and the staff was very kind.So glad we did.

My boys and I had an amazing time. The animals are absolutely beautiful ️

It was really nice but why I gave it a 3 . Its $15 to get in plus when you get in Train ride is extra $3 each person. To pet the giraffe and feed it $3 each person. The chair lift wasnt working. I dont know how much that was. So if you have a big family like me we couldnt do everything. Which is not good when you have children that wants to go. Very disappointing on that part. To make this zoo better and more people be attracted to it.FIRST - zoo tickets $8 covers everything SECOND - have food courts in different areas nothing to fancy but cheapThird - have someone selling balloons on a stick so they want fly away Forth - Have someone make animals out of balloonsFIFTH - have a photo both like the moviesSIXTH - have a charge to take a picture with an animalGet creative about the zoo but dont over charge people to get in or to ride or pet the things inside

Great place to spend a day with the family! Especially loved the bird house that lets you feed them!

Had an incredible time! They have military discounts for active duty members. The zoo has Lion and Tigers and Bears... Oh my! Its a large zoo and I recommend this attraction for any family or person looking for such wide varieties of animals!

Even with covid-19, the zoo is being run well, and we had a great time. Its open and ready for business.

The Montgomery Zoo is a great family destination with a nice playground that can also accommodate children with special needs, a train, a skylift, and nice, natural animal exhibits. They also host special family events such as Zoo Boo and Zoo Lights which is fun for families especially those with younger children.

Terrible customer service. They do not publicize to buy train tickets at the front entrance. After waiting in line for 1.5 hours we were told no cash and the card machine was down. Birmingham will have my business from now on.

My son just loves going to the zoo. Even though the animals were lazing around out of sight it was still a good visit. The Rays were extra playful some really liked to be touched.

Great Visit, make sure you visit when its not raining

Bringing mothers and sons together holding hands..

This is a excellent zoo, friendly staff, i love this place.

Small but all the exhibits are easy to see and the animals were out for easy viewing and photograph friendly

Had a ball. First sky lift experience

Always the best way to spend some time away with the fam

My kids always like to visit this place

Great City zoo. One of the best Tiger enclosures Ive seen. Very walkable and a very fun train and playground.
