Oregon Zoo

We have been to a lot of zoos and this one felt like you could get super close to all the animals. The walk was very well laid out and easy to follow even without carrying a map. The animals were well cared for, and the terrain was just beautiful. If I had an negative about the park, it might be that at times it was hard to find the trashcan, but what I really really liked was you could always find a bench and somewhere to sit to enjoy the wildlife and to rest. I do think this zoo is very well worth a trip. In about 2 1/2 hours, you can see everything and experience just some wonderful terrain to walk-through. It wasn’t too difficult or hard to climb and I always felt like I could do it in a wheelchair if I had to. One of the most interesting things I saw in this zoo was a children’s sandbox play area that looked like just the kind of things. My children would have loved when they were 2-6 years old. Parking was very interesting and you had to download a specific app, but there were kiosk where you could get a parking place without having to use the app so I was very thankful for that.

Amazing zoo. Came here on a whim and we were blown away. I have never seen animals at a zoo so healthy looking, active and playful. The design was also great that it took you on a loop, and we loved that it was incorporated into the nature around us.

Absolutely beautiful park! Loved the mist stations all around to help keep cool on hot days. Only surprise was that the entire park is cashless but you can get a loadable MasterCard for use around the park at a kiosk that takes cash. Animals are VERY well cared for and have nice sized habitats, customized for their species. 10/10 would absolutely love to go again.

I've not been to many zoos in recent years so this was an excellent choice. Love the wooded paths and interactive map. Plenty of shade and benches for a rest. The exhibits were large and for most part easy to see the animals.

The Oregon Zoo is fascinating. Able to fit hundreds of animals, most I can't even show due to the photo limit, Hundreds of activities, hundreds of buildings, & all in such a small area. It's like a theme park with animals. I loved being able to see & interact with so many of them. Things you can't do anywhere else. The whole point of a zoo is to show animals you can't normally see without traveling the world, & to this zoo takes all of that to heart. I'd highly recommend going here often, becoming a zoo-phile...wait-
