We had family in town and drove from Savannah to Jacksonville to take my 3 year old to this zoo. He was absolutely wowed by the current dinosaur exhibit! We purchased the value tickets and it was just right for us. The train takes you and drops you off on the other side to walk around. They have a good... More

There are some reviews that state they have seen better. While that may be true keep in mind this is Jacksonville. Though it is a large city land wise they don't have some of the budgets that the large ones do. With that said it is a great zoo. I take my family many times throughout the year and you... More

The Jacksonville Zoo has really tried to put the anmals in large natural looking enclosures. There are areas where you can walk above the animals and see them roaming freely below. They have a great interactive area where you can feed Giraffes or touch Sting Rays. They have expanded the Children's area with play areas and water areas. The grounds... More

Great place for a family to spend the day! Best part was the special Dino tracks exhibit. Worth every penny!

The zoo is large and beautifully landscaped. There are lots of different animals to see. The zoo has different additional attractions throughout the year. Currently they have animatronic dinosaurs spread along a trail in the woods.

Going to the zoo is something different to do and a wonderful respite away from the big city. Jacksonville zoo have the usual big African mammals in enclosures where you can see elephants, buffaloes, rhinos, antelopes and giraffes. They also have temporary and permanent exhibits available such as the Sting Ray Bay and the Butterfly Hollow. I do recommend coming... More

We have gone to the Jacksonville Zoo many times in the past few years, and it is always nice. Always something to learn. Lots of very nice exhibits. Train ride is a good investment, cuts down on some of the walking. The place is huge, and requires lots of walking, no shortcuts. The florida wildlife exhibit is my son's favorite... More
