if you love animals
Nice little zoo. We like all the exotic animals

No thank you. World of shambles
Animals looked extremely depressed Poor guidance and staff as well communication. If anyone is looking for a zoo Sacramento has plenty of years to wash their plate before dishing incredible things to its guest. I believe they’re are better zoos that exist. I also believe in zoo keepers knowing they’re animals as well. Kinda unbelievable but expected 2026.

This is a well loved zoo...
This is a well loved zoo in a mid sized city. All the animals look well cared for. A family friend space with a little train, some newer VR experience enhancement booths, even a dinosaur display complete with simulated sounds and movements to show how life would have looked back in the day. Overall,

Zoo trip
Super fun. Zoo is organized in a way so you don't miss viewing any animals. Animotronic dinosaurs were there too. Which made our visit more special.

Time for an overhaul
I was really disappointed with the Sacramento Zoo. Many of the enclosures felt small and outdated, and several animals seemed stressed or bored. The signage was sparse, making it hard to learn anything meaningful about the animals, and a lot of the paths and exhibits felt run-down. Staff were polite but didn’t offer much information or engagement. For the price of admission, I expected a much more educational and enjoyable experience. Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend it unless they seriously improve the facilities and overall visitor experience

Go in the morning, not so good in the afternoon.
Small zoo that’s a quick walk-around. The zoo closed at 5pm on the afternoon we visited. A lot of the animals were pacing near their gates waiting to get locked in for the night when we were there from 3pm-5pm, so go earlier in the day if you can.

Not driving all that way unless I get a discount. ROXANNE MULDER
I am 73 years old. Seniors only get $1 off for admission?!! I also am in a wheelchair. Any special price for disabled seniors? Roxanne Mulder 530 8097491. 2476 Streamside Ct Chico California 95926.

Small but ok zoo
First visit to this zoo. We have family who love near by and we were over from Scotland so wanted to see a zoo in the US. I understand they are building a new zoo and I am happy to hear this. The zoo was small but nice and seemed well kept. I just couldn't get my head around how small some enclosures were. We loved feeding the giraffes and that you could watch animals at the veterinary hospital. Will be lovely to see the new zoo even if just online.

Best kept zoo and habitat US wide.
Nice clean easy to walk experience. The zoo is clean, animal habitats well maintained and animals appear healthy and happy. Definitely one of the better zoo experiences. Not overly crowded. We noted trees and shade provided for animals and visitors was a huge PLUS !
