Glen Oak Park

This is my 3rd or 4th trip to this zoo. It's a pretty zoo and the kids enjoy it a lot. The animals aren't very active, but you still get to see plenty. Our favorite area is Africa. The entrance is beautiful, the walk up is so nice and being able to see a giraffe up so close is AWESOME. The walkabout is really cool too. That's possibly the kids favorite.

Second time we have been here. My boys enjoyed the animals. We were a little too early to feed the giraffes, but we're on a field trip and had to stay with the group. The gentlemen with the mould of the tiger skull was very informative and interactive with the kids! They loved it!

Took my daughter to the Juneteenth Festival this past week it looks the same as it did 23 yrs ago when I had my sons 3rd birthday party there lol but I guess that’s a good thing I guess

We visited from out of town and the entrance GPS took us to was closed. You have to enter near the zoo. We expected the wooden playground shown in all the pictures, but we arrived to a modern playground with many cliché qualities of other recently updated parks. It was still fun, with lots of new things to explore and fantastic amenities for children with disabilities. My 9-year old and I played for about 45 minutes before she got bored. More seating and shade would be good additions, and the area is begging for a splash pad in the future. It's sad to see the whimsical wooden parks disappearing, but this is a very nice playground, overall. Wish we would have had time to see the gardens at the park!

Pandemic be darned! The Glen Oak Zoo did not disappoint. Visited twice in one month. Both times the animals were out and enjoying the nice weather just as we humans were. Staff was welcoming and zoo was welcoming feeling even tho it was sectioned off and routed you in a specific direction. Nothing felt forced or like we were being ushered though. Enjoyed it very much so!
