Reviews of Zoo New York (Zoo)

Brad

Well done, very enjoyable!

Cynthia Hayes

The park in general is my favorite place to visit in the summer. My dad worked there years ago before it closed for a while

Romer Rivero

Nice place to see

Amy Witham

Seems to be falling apart.

Daren Stone

Small, quiet zoo. Easy to get around.

Faith Patterson

The kids love seeing all the animals.

D E

Needs a few more animals and some upgrades but staff are great, and animals they have are well cared for and healthy. Easy to walk and pretty grounds.

Alex Templeton

I have gone to this zoo for 52 years. I have pictures of myself in this zoo since I was 3 years old. It has changed over the years. I will always remember the sound of the peacock's that they used to have. Now the zoo is NY animal habitat only. I dont live in NY anymore but I visit every time I am home. I enjoy seeing the animals and taking photos.

Suzanne Masters

Watertown is lucky to have such a beautiful park!

Samantha Carter

Love that place great.

Cathy Mart

Great zoo for small town many possibilities to grow

Sara T

We love the zoo. A bit pricey. Came with 3 grand daughters cost 50$ + We would come back more but can't.

Lesley Clark

Some of the staff is great. But it's a good place to take the family for the day

Brooklyn Mike

The staff was very friendly, informative and helpful

macluvva

I want to go back to the zoo! This is a place I'd gladly return visit often. Can't wait to do volunteer work here. Lots of small events for the public. Food too expensive for quality!

Jennifer Burt

Colten is blaziken at the boo at the zoo

Bob Houle

Very fun

Daniel Bennett

Great chance to see a bear that doesn't want to knock your trash can over at 2 am.

Kallista George

So relaxing! Fun! My grandchildren love it too! They love playing window to window with the bears!

Morgan Jamieson

Dated

Stephanie Lowery

Fantastic zoo with a lot of great attractions. A very diverse group of animals that are extremely active.

Naomi Steel

Great place for family fun.

Jen McIntosh

Maybe I'm spoiled because I grew up going to the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, but this zoo was kinda lackluster. Small cages, but it was a nice little walk.

Bruce Chamberlin

Cool animals, good price, friendly staff

Thomas B

Don't plan on it taking an entire day. We got there at 2:00p.m., and found ourselves back to the entrance at 2:55. Would have been sooner but the wolves kept us entertained for 10 minutes. Animals were taken care...$30 for a family of 4 they should be...

Adrian Belrad

Good way to spend a lazy afternoon. The otters were great fun to watch.

April Davis

Weekend

Gary L.

Enjoyable zoo for the little ones small but the kids enjoy it

Jim T (cozy 117)

Thompson Park as a whole is a great hilltop location on the edge of Watertown. Lots of picnic areas, trails (paved and woodland-type), golf course, and yes the zoo. Realize that this is North Country NY, and the only animals they can keep here are able to survive the harsh winters here! This is not a standard zoo, but it's a nice ine to take small children to.

Alan Semon

I love this place so much!!! I've been going here ever since I was a year old and it never gets old. It's a great place to take the family for a day and hang out???????????????? I would definitely recommend going here!!

Matt Rogers

A beautiful curated celebration of North American wildlife. I especially enjoyed the softshell turtle exhibit.

Erica Mancino

Cute little zoo.Nice and tidy.Very friendly staff.

Illusive Smiles

Wonderful animals, fun for all ages

Kevin Poncel

It is simply not enough. The area is growing, the zoo needs to upgrade!

Aubrey Saenz

Splash pad was a big hit with my grandkids but there should be more benches there were more grandparents there then places to sit.. bring folding chairs, watching the kids was entertaining!

Toby Durrin

Great memories are made at this zoo. You must stop by if you are in Watertown

Ashleigh Nash

Small zoo, small price. I'd go here again because my grandson loves the place.

Matt V

Weekday

Chris Ingram (Deputyred)

Very Lively and beautiful

Claudia Carrasco

Went when I was younger and this place really sucked. It was such a small zoo. That was almost a decade ago. I want to go in with my husband and they really have expanded on so much. It's still a small zoo and a bit overpriced for the size of it but we really did enjoy yourself

Darren Smith

This zoo is adorable, clean and perfect for young children! The paths are easy for strollers, and there are just enough animals the keep your little ones entertained and also a small playground area outside. The best part, you don't feel like you have to 20 miles just to see everything! There are nice, clean bathrooms and a cute concession section inside. I highly recommend this zoo ????????????????????????

Roger Reyes

Great little place. Easy to walk through. Not a lot of animals took us about 30 min to do the whole thing which was perfect for my 1yr old.

Paula Carr

You live in small areas you get small zoos. The wolverine wanted to leave lol.

Katie Hairgrove

I love the focus on local and once-local animals. I wish they had the budget for more exhibits, but I'm sure they do too.

Geoffrey Gerace

I hate to say it but this is a terrible zoo. One of the worst I have ever been too

Kelly Curry

This outting was great, most of the animals were out and about.

Tim Dwyer

Great place for the family. Excellent zoo. A real gem at Thompson Park

Alyson Rice

Always open to the public especially in the warm weather.

Jonathan Bartholomew

Good zoo but I wish more exhibits were open

EAZY FF

Kinda boring and expensive

S J

Fun place to get out with the family

Shanae Love

Great trails and views

Tina Schwind

Great day, enjoyed the wall, the animals and staff

kid

Very clean zoo. We'll taken care of animals.

Carly Ludlow

They are amazing staff. And the place was well kept.

Kathleen Finnerty

Barely any animals out, expensive for such a small zoo, was finished looking at everything in 15 minutes! Awful!!

Heather Kussmaul

I Really Love that I went here when I was a kid, & to see what they have done in recent years...to the Zoo and Park, is Wonderful!!

Mac Death

Great for family outings. Native animals.....we go every summer. Absolutely beautiful.

Rob The Shark

For a small zoo it's very nice and layed out nicely, friendly people .

Victoria Jones

So much fun nice walking

Carmen Ruhl

Kids have swings, and splash pad, nice. The pool has been closed for years,and the Porto potties were full and filthy.

William J. McClusky II (BilliamJ)

We had lots of fun

Edwin “thadarknight” Welch

Not what I remembered as a kid but a great time to go out with the family or friends and get some fresh air!

Diane Yaddow

Nice small local zoo. Good outing for young children

Diane Yaddow

Great for family outings. Native animals.....we go every summer. Absolutely beautiful.

John Christopherson

They are amazing staff. And the place was well kept.

Jess B

No wait

Drazi Crendraven (Drazisil)

Could definitely use more animals. It's disappointing the petting zoo is gone. It's a nice walk around the park though. I'm sure if more people got memberships, and visited, they could afford to care for more animals though.

Tom Rankin

Awesome

Levi Miller

Fun and like the new park.

kimberly mcconnell

Thompson Park zoo is a great place to bring children and see all the different animals with a small cafeteria if your hungry they also do birthdays last time I went there it's a good time for everyone young and old.

Mandy Simpson

Beautiful experiance

Deo Abete

Nice small zoo

Marq Holmes

The Thompson Park Zoo (or sometimes the NYS Zoo at Thompson Park) does a great job putting on their Boo at the Zoo trick-or-treating for kids.

Patrick Danforth

They do an amazing job with this zoo. Located in a small town...and it's really nice.

Ray Vough

Great spot

stewart vosburgh

For an extremely hot day the animals were active to the delight of our granddaughter. Everything was clean. Staff was friendly. Not too crowded. Only the farm animals were absent from our visit. Thank you Watertown for maintaining this iconic park.

amy jones

My wife and I were visiting from Ottawa, ON, Canada and had a wonderful time at the zoo. The staff were very friendly and one particular staff member went out of her way to show us the wolverine, Valentine, who we were delighted to see. We would definitely visit again!

amy jones

Not very many animals and is located in an odd location....about 20 mins outside of Watertown...however, the surrounding parks are nice with a great view

Gaetano Javarone

Nicely laid out. Good exhibits. Nice variety of animals.

Jacqueline Torres

I think this place is so great. Not only is it not that far from where I live but it's a kid friendly zoo: not too big but much to learn. The butterfly exhibit is beautiful. I usually don't like anything that lands on me but I really enjoyed the colours. There is so much room to grow for this zoo! They keep it clean & the animals have more than enough space to roam & feel like animals. I'm so excited to go here more, especially for the wild tots & other events.

This is a fabulous little zoo with native animals. Great to visit any time of the year.

Teresa marie (Buttercup)

Nice zoo

Deborah House

Fun as a family event

seroqu 15

Pretty cool little place. Great layout and nice to see the local wildlife that lives in the area.

Jim Sparky

We went to our grandson birthday party at a pavilion. A very nice time

Mac Death

This is a monthly go-to for my family. Stroller friendly, and engaging for young children. You can be face-to-face with a Timber Rattlesnake, look a mountain lion in the eye, hear the howls of a wolf family, enjoy the perpetual performance of the otters, see a shy bobcat come out of her shell and act like a playful kitten, size up your wingspan compared to eagles, and test your jump to the marked 40’ of a mountain lion’s jump. Worth spending many weekend visits here with your family!

Judalis Morejon

I saw animals

Jeremy H.

I was pleasantly surprised at the zoo's atmosphere and overall enchanting design. Featuring the local animals is a fantastic idea, and all the animals were wonderful!

Charlene Olmsted

Local zoo of animals that can be found in the immediate area. It's not a zoo in the sense of larger, popularly kept animals. It's a good place to learn about wildlife around here. Staff are kind and friendly. Many programs for the kids to be a part of. Great membership program that has reciprocity at other zoos around the country.

Michael Lettiere Jr

Very clean, and very easy to navigate. Loved that we could get pretty close to all the animals.

Charlie Coccia

Very nice place too bad some people think they own the place and have to make it less fun for others.

Cheryl Mullenax

Local zoo of animals that can be found in the immediate area. It's not a zoo in the sense of larger, popularly kept animals.

Travis Gebo

Fun zoo. Smaller than others I have been to, but very clean and well organized.

Colleen Ackler

Nice place to go the kid's

Jon Svereika

Beautiful place to walk around and see all the animals.

Rachael Moran

Wait time

Ginger Button

A great local zoo in the park. It might be small, but still worth a visit.

Paul Soucy

Enjoyed the zoo with our grandson. We even got the Pack tickets so we can come back several times!

Michelle Bull

pretty good for the only zoo within a 40 mile radius

Jody Smithers

Great place for the kids

ariana the pretty girl

Really cool zoo. It was chilly without many visitors when we visited (mid November). Lots of animals from around this part of the world I had never seen, and my 2 year old son had a great time. Expectations weren't high, but I left very impressed, glad I had gone and made some lasting memories.

Lisa Wilson

Love the zoo, cheap activity. Couldn't see a couple of the animals though.

Adam Svereika

No

Douglas K.

Thompson Park was enjoyable. I enjoyed the views of the Watertown area, the memorials and the stone structures. I didn't visit the zoo but plan to at a later date!

Robert Kennedy

Cute small zoo, excellent people working there

Dylan Call

Wonderful animals, fun for all ages

Mary Parker

Vast beautiful area with lots of newer kid's play equipment at the top of the hill. Yet to visit the Zoo. Parents: Not stroller friendly if your level of fitness is low to long distance uphill. Shortcuts involve flights upon flights of stairs. Pokemon GO players: 4 Gyms, numerous Pokestops, and large groups visit during raids.

Cindy Ramsey

Really cute little zoo. The animals are happy and it's cheap. We like to walk around every now and then and is always a good time.

Boy of the Millennium Force

Wish there was more animals

Tanisha Carr

Great rustic zoo

Leona berry

Had a great time with my grandkids!

Derek Nickles

Great park, great views. An awesome place to bring the kids for an afternoon.

Kay

This is a natural habitat zoo. Animals are sometimes hidden. Great experience over all.

Devin Leeworthy

Small Zoo but was clean and had good viewing opportunities of the animals.

Naphtali Kleingardner

Boo at the zoo event was alot of fun.

Matthew King

Fair price and just big enough and enough animals for a toddler.

Richard Blunden

We had a great birthday party at the zoo with our granddaughter , so accommodating, kids had so much fun!

Timothy Raven

Love very good

Kaylyn

Friendly staff, and very healthy animals

Corine Mautz

It's a small zoo, but surprisingly fun for the low price. Definitely a destination when you want something to do locally. Make sure you sign up for the bear feeding!

Angelique W

The zoo is a great place to take children, is well maintained, and the staff is friendly. It would have been nice to know the wolverine and fisher cat were gone, instead of waiting for them to appear.

adri smith

What a wonderful small zoo! Very clean, great displays of various animals. Perfect for families!

Dakotah Cote

Decent zoo. Kind of small. Not much staff around.

Katelyn Byler

I fell in love with the wolves. Must see!

Cheryl Parton

Had a great time with my girlfriend and her 4 year old daughter. They have a pretty good assortment of animals. The bears were very active and we got to see them up close and personal when the keeper fed them peanuts. More than worth the entry fee. Avoid the gift shop though.

Leslie Jones

Weekday

Lorie Collins

Always a blast.

Julia Deihl

Good for a place to walk. Needs more exhibits.

Joel Fox

Kids loved all the animals

Nathaniel Smith

Nice place for a walk

Betty Hill

Worst zoo I have ever been to. It's should be free. You are able to see the whole zoo in less than an hour and that's taking your time.

Rita Shirey

Dont waste your time, your paying to just walk around and see the money being used on the appearance not on the animals that look miserable. 1/2 hour and your done with the whole place and that's taking your time.

Matthew C

Great little zoo.Took about an hour.

Officer Oggi

Great small zoo to enjoy for a few hours...there is a new large playground/park across the street as well

Patricia J.

The displays were really nice and it was fun to see animals that either were native to NY or still live in NY. We were a little bummed that the bear and wolverine weren't out, but it may just be a seasonal thing. On that note come on the weekend in the winter. The animals are much more active in the winter than in the heat of the summer.

Angel Maldonado

We always love visiting the zoo

Josue Canas

Animal friendly zoo with an enjoyable walking path

Sean Barber

A wonderful little gem.

Paul Shepard

Fun for the kids.

Chris Ingram (Deputyred)

Beautiful place had fun with the family

Ashraf F

The zoo was great

zProxiimiity —

It was a good experience. They are updating things in the zoo. It’s not too big but big enough to take your kids to for about an hour or two.

Lindsay Wyant

This park is beautiful. With a nice zoo

Brian Murray

Had a great time even in the rain.

Brandie Moore

Okay entertainment

Jeremiah Jaeger

Visited on

Ammity Connell

Do not expect a huge extravagant place with fancy enclosures and cotton candy stands. Instead, expect a great little zoo! I liked the "natural" habitats the animals had. Although there isn't a ton of animals, the place is laid out well and you can have a more intimate experience with your family and friends. We didn't rush through things, took our time and enjoyed the nature around us, we were there for an hour and a half. Beautiful little gift shop and cafe inside as well. If you're in the area i recommend checking it out.

jadiel feliciano

It wasn't the best but wasn't the worst

Dawn Youngs

Excellent place to well,play and have a picnic or bbq and the new play ground is awesome for the kids to entertain themselves and parents too.

Julie Wilkinson

Thank you thank you thank you for what you do for wildlife and the community. You truly ate an asset to our town

sharon reid

Nice place for a little walk. Most of the animals were sleeping or hiding in the shade.

Diamond Nova

Each time my family and I have visited there has been multiple animal enclosures closed down. I would say that about 30 percent of the zoo doesn't have animals in the enclosure. Also none of this information is posted anywhere to know ahead of time.

Cole Oppliger

3 stars because the bears were cute and playing while we were there and that's it :/

Amy Keegan

A very nice clean, newly built kids play ground. It's public and free. Ample parking. You can enjoy good weather here with kids.

Katherine Crofton

Love very good

Rayne Farrell

Staff was super friendly and helpful they have awesome wagons you can pull your kids around in the animals were really cool and got to see them all.

Christian Donnelly

Nice, small zoo. Wonderful place to learn about NY wildlife

Keith Gonia

Brew at the zoo was a great time. Glad I paid it a visit before leaving town after my business trip.

Amber Lusby

This place has changed for the worst. Many of the animals are alone and not taken care of as well as they should be considering this being a "Conservatory" Very shameful

stefan andrews

Really neat place. The map could use an upgrade.

Chip Zayas-Marquette

Love it. Boys had a ball looking at all the local area wild aminals.

MadQueenAlys

I love this Zoo. The staff is great, the animals are well taken care of, and I feel like they deserve so much more funding than they get. Everyone works hard and I would love to see updates on their display panels for information on the different species. Very family friendly. Plenty of space. Always something going on there in terms of events. I attended a convention and it was great fun!

jc monkey

Very few animals available for viewing. Nice park atmosphere. Enclosures look nice.

Claire

Not too crowded, and I love the trails to get to the next exhibit

Sade sweets

A peaceful ???? place to relax and enjoy the fun and animals

Functional Hot Mess

Its a decent park. The one in Syracuse is better and free for military.

Kimberly Braman

The zoo was terrible. The price is way too high for the VERY little it has to offer. ????

Andrew Dexheimer

No wait

Chloe Acosta

I went and saw the displays of Christmas lights throughout the zoo. It was great.

Nicholas Perkins

Me and my sister visited this zoo while on a vacation in the area. It had been years since we last visited and we were taken back by how much it had declined. The entire zoo itself needed to be mowed and weeded. The bear exhibit especially was not kept up. It was overgrown with weeds, and both it’s bathing water and drinking water were dirty. The bears themselves looked clean and healthy but their habitat was awful. I felt terrible for them. It also states that there is a snowy owl for viewing. All we could find was 2 black crows. A lot of the animals such as the otter, lynx, and wolverine were unable to locate in their unkept habitat. It’s possible we missed them but unlikely all of them. We stood for several min. Along with other visitors and could not locate any of them. I’m hoping we just came at the wrong time. Maybe the maintenance crew was on vacation. Definitley not worth the money.

Leticia Salinas

A great place to spend an afternoon. Cool animals and friendly staff

Metal Gear

Had a great time even in the rain.

Katie

Clean and a nice day out for that family. Boo at the zoo is a yearly tradition for us too.

Crunch Smith

Great place to take younger kids

Aaron Pearson

Nice place

James Corbett

Nice little zoo. Very friendly staff. Clean grounds and facility.

Lifelink

My kids and I love going to the park. Great place to walk around and have a picnic or just visit the zoo. Can't wait to go again.

Tim Wolverton

Though I appreciate the fact that the zoo houses animals found in NY state, the fact that at least 4 exhibits were under construction. Sure, it was off season, but those 4 missing exhibits are a fair portion of the exhibits available. Animals appeared well cared for and the enclosures looked large and clean.

Jessica Lowe

We just renewed our membership. The animals are so well cared for. The grounds are attractive. There are many shady trails to walk on, too. I'm glad the zoo is in our town.

Tommy Mc

It's actually nice, there are many areas to take great pictures. The animals are mostly visible and they look well taken care of.

Tom Hockin

Not enough animals to see it's more of a nature walk then a zoo

jacob benny john

No

Luisa Ramos

Watertown is lucky to have such a beautiful park!

Matt McLear

not quite what I was expecting. it was ok, but should nbe renamed children's Discovery or something similar

Robert Kemp-Maynard

This is by far the cleanest and most well kept zoo I have ever seen. I recommend visiting here if you are in the area.

Dewitt Bradley

Kids had lots of fun

lisa_lifts_things

Beautiful park, great play area, amazing water park for little kids (open 12:00-7:00 I think), cute little zoo.

Gloria Soli

Great small zoo! Staff extremely nice and helpful!

Greg Clark

Nice little zoo with regional animals. Perfect for a morning activity. A little small but works well for young kids.

Lynne Hendrickson

Nice little selection of native animals. We stop in to see Valentine the wolverine, the bears and the otters. Very far spaced exhibits as the animals have spacious areas. Parking is free. Disappointed that they no longer participate in the reciprocal Zoo discount program. It's a bit pricey for the variety but as long as they have native animals we'll continue to visit a few times a year.

Ryan Geary

Got there 1/2 hour before closing. They wanted full entrance fee. Will have to try again at an earlier hour. I heard that was a good zoo though.

T M

I love the local wildlife it's wonderful. The snakes are so cute I love this place so do the kids lol even if we aren't huge fans of some of the animals we always visit anyway

D J

Small, quiet zoo. Easy to get around.

Fran Koon

A nice walk and teaching experience for my kids (4&6)

Daniel Harvey

$6–10

K AF

Worst zoo I have ever been to. It's should be free. You are able to see the whole zoo in less than an hour and that's taking your time.

Suzanne Mangan

Bears and otters were quite active and fun to watch; LOTS of butterflies in the butterfly house, super friendly staff in butterfly house too :)

Danice Cashin

Beautiful experiance

moira Daggett

Its a decent park. The one in Syracuse is better and free for military.

Jen Clark

We got there Right before 4 Pm and we only got to see 3 animals because all the animals were already put away. So why charge us and accept customers if there’s NO animals? Literally walked around the zoo and saw one wolf, one owl and one otter. The cages/areas for the animals are small and the animals are living in overgrown, uncared for grass/bushes. The animals look so bored and depressed. The entire experience was sad and we left disappointed. I do not recommend.

Lance Rock

Small Zoo, but perfect for small kids. Plenty of shade, a pavilion, playground and plenty of animals. The Elk and bears weren't bashful at all. They came right to the edge of their enclosure. They even have a wagon rental for little kids.

Larry Connelly

Very small not many animals but was ok

Witch in the North

A very nice zoo. The kids enjoyed it a lot

Pros Entertainment

Not as much as I thought there would be there. But for the price, not terrible.

Maricel Ellis

I loved this zoo. Some people may be disappointed, expecting it to live up to the standards of other zoos. The Rosamund Gifford Zoo in Syracuse and Parc Safari in Quebec come to mind. But this place has to be appreciated on its own terms. It's quite small and the animals are indigenous -- sorry, there will be no giraffes and lions here. But they are clearly well cared for and happy animals. Placards outside the enclosures reveal how each animal came to the zoo, and many of them are rescues. The bears were considered nuisances, the mountain lion was discovered by linemen, the eagle is blind in one eye and so can't hunt. For these reasons, the zoo is more intimate than its larger counterparts, and that's what makes it special. The highlights for me were the bears -- three feisty ladies who we watched climb trees and play fight. They were very funny to watch. I also loved the otters--a father and son named Ricky and Otis. I watched one of them swim for a long time, which was enchanting. The eagles were also astonishing. Highly recommended. LOTS of kids, so if you don't like kids, go during a school day. Also, bring food or eat before you go, because they do not have a very well stocked cafe. Just nachos, popcorn, hot dogs, and pizza.

Alexander La Parr

It was a fun, inexpensive way to spend the day in Watertown. My kids love national parks and zoos so they are always excited by a new one. The exhibits are on the small side, that does ensure you see most of the animals. It has a picnic and playground area by the gift shop.

Troy Thompson

We had a fantastic day . We do expect to return for a nother wonderful day in the spring.

Brandi Owens

It's a nice little zoo. Not many animals, but can be overlooked because of the closeness of the animals. You can get some really nice pictures of these animals. Waiting for summer to fully arrive so we can go back and check out the butterfly house.

Sam Litz

Love the zoo, it's a great location for taking the kids out of the house. My family loves the otter exhibit and the black bears.

Matt DePrimo

Great area and real nice peope

Dennis Zenefski

(Translated) Many animals, nice keepers and the entrance fee is fair (Original) Viele Tiere, nette Pfleger und der Eintritt ist Fair

Brandon King

Such a fantastic place! The entire park is well kept and beautiful! The grounds are so big and well planned that a family could easily spend a whole day here. The park is large and modern. The zoo is on the small side but really educational and pleasant. There is a canteen style restaurant inside the main building of the zoo. Washrooms are clean and bright. There is also a gift shop. Some of the animals at the zoo include owls, bears, elk, lynx, cougar, otters, wolves and some reptiles. Really such a worthwhile place to go!

cj

I love it here!

Tom Maxon

Well maintained, loved to see all the native animals to the United States and NY.

Chris Ebey

Check times for special daily events. Kids touch farm not open yet. June 18th 2018 maybe? Season pass is well worth it!

Linda axel

We enjoy running around , visiting the bears and watching the Elk and Lynx.

Jacqueline Torres

It is a cute and affordable zoo. We came here with zero expectations and therefore were not disappointed. There are not many exhibits, but you can tell that each animal is cared for and loved in a way that larger zoos may not have the same capacity for. If they had the funding it would be a bustling place to go to but being quaint also has its perks. I know some people complain of the walk between exhibits, but it also means less crowding and allows for more space between guests. My husband and I had a wonderful time here, especially at the otter exhibit. My favorite part about Thompson Park Zoo was that at each animal's exhibit, they offered a tidbit on the animal offering their name, their likes and dislikes, and where they came from. I was surprised to see that many of these animals were rescued from either unsafe living conditions in the wild, or were confiscated from residential homes.

Jason Cooke

Sorry New York, but this place is a dump! Please move the animals to better places and just shut this place down!

Brandi Owens

pretty good for the only zoo within a 40 mile radius

Michael Salter

Good place to take young children.

Johanna Kreibick

No wait

Avery J

Boy has this place changed since I was here as a kid in the 80's.... Where is Tim the Lion? Yes, at one time they did in fact have a full grown LION in a little bitty cage... he was cool, his accommodations, not so much. But all that is gone now... like, all of it. Unrecognizable actually. This is a small zoo that is located in a historical park which sits high above the city. If you are in town, this is a place you should come check out. Make a day of it. Visit the zoo and when you are done, enjoy the surrounding park and its history. Stop by each of the several overlooks they have. Enjoy a picnic in the designated areas available. Fly a kite on the big grassy hill. Let the kids play at the splash park or down a bit on the massive playscape. Back to the zoo. It is nice. The only thing I recognize is the old historical buildings that are on the site (beautifully maintained) and some of the old concrete animal sculptures we used to play on back in the day (they are still here). The bears were active, but most everything else was laying low.... wolves, mountain lions, wolverine, snow owl, bobcat, lynx, elk, etc.... it was a hot day when I visited. There is a fee to enter. My family of four cost $34... which compared to the Detroit zoo, Toledo zoo, Jacksonville zoo is actually really cheap... but for a small town zoo, it seems a little pricey for what's on exhibit. But, that's not how I looked at it. I looked at it as if I was making a donation to support a community zoo in hopes of keeping it around for the next generation. Enjoy your visit. Comment below, let me know what you think. For a glimpse at my experience at the zoo, find my YouTube channel "Gebo's Garage". Cheers!

scott st joseph

Very interactive for the kids! Also, offers adults only events like Brew at the Zoo. Sometimes has live music. and is often very participative within the community!

Tasha Van Vleet

Fantastic

Bartok

Too expensive for how small and little bit of animals

Sean Allen

(Translated) Excellent place to go on family vacations (Original) Excelente lugar para ir de vacasiones en familia

Melissa Butler

Fun and reasonable but some empty exhibits

Alicia Bennett

Some of the staff is great. But it's a good place to take the family for the day

Almighty Wooo

I'm just going to be brutally honest - this zoo has nothing special. We've gone twice, we enjoyed seeing the bears wrestle and play, but I can't pretend like it's comparable to a zoo that's got giraffes, elephants, and things like that. This zoo mostly has things native to the state of NY, which is okay for a nature preserve but maybe not a 'zoo'. I suppose zoos can sometimes provide conservation effort, but mostly they just make me sad, this one included. I don't mean to be harsh, I'm sure the folks that work the zoo do their best.

Michael McCaffrey

Needs more exhibits

Joseph Mack

Great place to take younger kids

Jess Tetro

It's a little zoo with a small number of exhibits but what they have is well done. The mountain lion, bears, wolves, and bald eagle were very active. All of them came right up to the fence while we were there. Also, the zoo is right in the middle of a very nice park. We brought a picnic lunch and huge out in the park before and after the zoo.

Adam Smiley

This is a monthly go-to for my family. Stroller friendly, and engaging for young children. You can be face-to-face with a Timber Rattlesnake, look a mountain lion in the eye, hear the howls of a wolf family, enjoy the perpetual performance of the otters, see a shy bobcat come out of her shell and act like a playful kitten, size up your wingspan compared to eagles, and test your jump to the marked 40’ of a mountain lion’s jump. Worth spending many weekend visits here with your family!

Desha Gregory

Great place to picnic and play and see the animals

Katie

I never been there but was raise there in watertown and hope soon to see the new park

German Arroyo

Sorry New York, but this place is a dump! Please move the animals to better places and just shut this place down!

Gene BratMan

Great zoo. Its a nice size, not crowded and you can get up close to the animals. Many of the animals are native to the Northcountry

Nicholas Shanley

great place to take kids. All the folks working there are people friendly and knowledgeable....

Kent Bolke

Literally saw 4 different types of animals and most employees were VERY VERY very rude.

Hilda Williamson

Very small,but cute

Will

Nice for the kids

Andrea Head

(Translated) There are many activities planned for children. The animals are active. The staff is very attentive and prompt. (Original) Hay muchas actividades programadas para niños. Los animales están activos. El personal es muy atento y rápido.

Jason Pilato

Wonderful zoo with quite a display of animals. They all seem to be well taken care of and have plenty of space.

Marc Purdon

We enjoy running around , visiting the bears and watching the Elk and Lynx.

Gabby Rose

Very nice zoo walkable so it's not huge with a very up close encounter with the animals. I love this place! I have a four year old and she absolutely loves it here.

Charlotte Storto

Cute little zoo. The otter is the best exhibit

Dawn Strawn

Not bad place. Wish there was more animals.

JUNIOR420r World

It's a small Zoo, well kept. It focuses on animals native to its latitude and does a good job of it.

Thomas Bradley

We signed up for a membership for our toddler son. He enjoys seeing the goats, otters, and bears. However, we are often unable to use our membership because of paid events held at the zoo. Also, the website states that members get discounts for events but this is not always the case.

Gabe Laguna

The animals look depressed sad! Some of them were in ridiculously small areas I wanted to cry seeing them in that condition!! Very depressing

Meredith Seiss

I haven’t been there In a while. I don’t hear or see animals as often as I used to but I know they’ve been doing some construction and changes going on. They have programs for people to partake in which I advise people to take advantage of.

Gebo's Garage

My kids enjoyed visiting the zoo. It's a small zoo but it's good for the kids. The area is clean and the stuff is friendly.

kaila kemp

Nice short tour, great for taking grandparents

Abby Mandris

Overall experience was good! It's not very big and has a focus on North American local wildlife with a decent variety of animals. That being said the animals were so fun to watch and the staff is so passionate about their work. We spoke with Keeper Brenda for a long time after her wolf conservation presentation and she was so nice and obviously loves her job, the animals, and knowledge of conservation efforts. Talking to her was the highlight of our trip. (We went in the winter and on a Saturday)

Bob Holz

The Zoo was nice, it's small, but the animals are well cared for, I'd highly recommend for families. .

Allison Christiansen

Great for kids, they also have an awesome playground

Sarah Alexander

This is a hidden jewel in Watertown, NY! Wonderful North America zoo. Very close to ft drum. Animals are very active and good information is available. Great and helpful staff! Good for a day trip.

nick capella

Nice little zoo but we made it through the entire thing in about 2 hours (with 5 adults and 5 kids)

Lyndon Durgan

Very nice zoo, grandkids had a good time seeing the animals, well laid out and a beautiful setting.

Cheryl Mullenax

Really cute little zoo. The animals are happy and it's cheap. We like to walk around every now and then and is always a good time.

Ginger Watkins

Meh... Good to take the kid for a walk

Victoria Peters

A peaceful ???? place to relax and enjoy the fun and animals

KC Ransom

Great area and real nice peope

David Creek

Very nice place

kevin hoover

Very disappointing. The old petting zoo was closed fenced AND roped off. The otters were not out and other animal & reptile exhibits were empty. Definitely not as nice as the old zoo.

jr horn

Looked run down. Very few animals and good portion of it was under construction.

Richard Lemus

Its so funny

susan w

The animals are native to the region. No exotics. Elk, and bears and wolves and such. Some were rescued. But it is a nice place to take the kids.

Ruth Kelly

Small zoo... good for very young children

Michael Wallace

Less than thrilled with this zoo. While I understand that not all the animals will be out when visiting, less than half were observable. The enclosures are extremely small for the animals they are housing. Some of the reptile enclosures were dirty. One of the turtles was upside down and one of our party had to find a zookeeper to let them know. Seeing this zoo makes me understand why some people hate zoos.

Patty Mcconnell

Cool

Joseph Foy

Awesome animals and free beer

Emanuel Hickle

Hard to see animals, zoo doesnt feel like its maintained very well. Saw mostly chipmunks and the occasional rear end of an unidentified mammalian. Felt like zoo was designed by a 12 year old using Zoo Tycoon. I remember this zoo being so much better when I was younger but after today I feel like I wasted time and money.

Jennifer Gault

Very good for kids and very clean

Bryan Mackey

Ok place. They do try hard, but they need more funding.

Carlos Martinez

Cool little zoo. When we went, a lot of the areas were closed off. Decent prices. Neat gift shop.

Charla Stewart

Clean and well-kept. My five year old loved this Zoo.

Fred Englert

Visited on

Kyle Hibbard

Small zoo but clean and nice.

Ryan Jones

Not much too see or do couldnt see most animals the best part were the otters they we out playing. Staff was very welcoming just not the best place.

Douglas Johnson

Decent zoo, I did feel like the enclosures we're not maintained well, grass was quite high in some exhibits to the point you could barely see the animals, especially the lynx enclosure.

David Lloyd

It was really great at boo at the Zoo my kids had ALOT of fun and we will do it again next year

Misty Dygert

Beautiful park and grounds. Lots of grilling space, picnic space, and play grounds. Zoo is small with well maintained paths. We received 2adult and 2 children's tickets when we purchased a season pass. Nicely done!

Gigi Miller

The kids love this place so I love this place

dennis gardner

Well organized exhibits of mostly native species. Not a large zoo, but worth a visit and a couple of hours' stay.

Andrew Reath (Andy)

Cute small town zoo. Yes, you can visit the whole zoo in 30 mins... we find showing up around 3pm, the animals are restless and want their food. Much more interesting then. Pandora, the bobcat, will chase you if you hide in the bushes and jump out. She's our favorite.

Jud Fero

Diverse activities and beautiful natural spaces

Elizabeth Lewis

Looked run down. Very few animals and good portion of it was under construction.

Joanne Gascon

Very cool zoo with many cool attractions to look at. Great place to go for a walk.

Kristina P

A great afterboon. Lovely habitats for the animals, well marked nature trails. Educational family fun.

Edward Fisher

This zoo is so small and cute. It's great for a day out with younger kids especially. Older kids will enjoy it but not as much as the little guys if they have been there before. It has a ton of local wildlife that you normally do not see on a day to day basis.

Adrianne Lewis

Price for adult entry

Zach H

Watched the fireworks. It's a great zoo considering where it is.

Juan Carrasco

Wait time

April Bartley

Cafe is expensive. The drink machines were over priced. Staff were nice. The animals were adorable and fun to watch.

Patti Volcek

Excellent little zoo. Friendly staff that will answer questions and point you in the right direction.

Bruce Smith

There weren't really any animals out when we arrived. We still had fun in the butterfly garden so I give it 3 stars.

Jose P

Great time

gabe Hutchinson

Nice local zoo and very knowledgeable staff.

Michele O'Brien

Fun that they specialize in New York state wildlife.

Donald Cronk

Nice place to take your kids

Lila Johnston

Good for small kids. The play area was small but good. The animals were out but seemed very stressed pacing back and forth. Prices were good to get in. The food and drinks at concessions was not good at all for the price but ok if you need a snack.

Kara Jacobs

Love it when local communities value providing their citizens with access to this type of resource.

Aristides edenilson Fuentes mendez

Another fire tower

S J

Small variety of animals but good kept, the space for animals were below average

Melinda Beyea

I love talking my grandchildren to the park. There's so much to do there. There's a hill that's great for flying kites, a zoo that we frequent quite often, and some brand new equipment for the kids to play on--plus, you can often find bands playing there on the weekend to sit and listen to.

Rip BuLL

Good for a place to walk. Needs more exhibits.

Dana ottoway

Smaller than anticipated. The butterfly exhibit was pretty cool.

Dom Avallone

Awesome exhibits and very clean

Rebekah Crego

Absolutely beautiful place but around noon alot of the animals were sleeping or not visible but still a very cool experience. Highly recommend place to visit.

Dom G

Love seeing NYS native animals and there is a nice nature trail.

IRENE TIBBLES

Small but nice price not bad

Adam Adair

Overall it was well kept and the staff were friendly. When we went one of the exhibits was labelled incorrect. There were no maps available as their shipment hadn't arrived yet. A lot of the animals either weren't there or were in hiding (which is no one's fault). For a state run zoo it was pretty much what you can expect.

Small zoo in a smaller town. Good day out with kids. You can get up close with the animals.

Jessica vereecke

Beautiful area great zoo

Donald Hanson

This is a good family friendly place to go & learn about animals.

matt hosler

Cute little zoo. The otter is the best exhibit

Chris Maxwell

They have an exercise trail here.

Shelley Hazen

A wonderful zoo. Small but lots of exhibits. Really nice spacious habitats for animals, which is refreshing. Def recommend going for a day out.

Shannon Yoder

Reservation recommended

Emily Marchenkoff

Fun family day adventure! A great place to take your kids to see many of the animals that are native to the state of New York up close. New playground and a couple newer exhibits. Cloudy and cooler days are best to see more active animals.

Melissa Mahan

Not bad place. Wish there was more animals.

HectorR Nery

????????????????

Lindy Eatherington

Small zoo but clean and well kept. I enjoyed my vist

Scott Gilbert

Very few animals to interact with but otherwise very clean and kept nice. Friendly staff and very professional.

Weretoad

Great day at the Zoo. Most of the animals were out and the bears were playing. The otters were busy swimming and showing off for us. We were there around feeding time so most of the animals were active. Was slightly disappointed with the gift shop. It's not as it used to be. The price for 2 children and 1 adult was $18. Well worth it!

This zoo was very nicely mantained. Its small but fun for a afternoon activity. It only showcases New York state animals and they all seemed happy and well taken care of.

james trumble

Great place for family fun!

Andrea Blankenberg

Kind of small but nice walk. Animal housing was very natural looking. On a cool day, animal were very active. Was able to see all the animals but the ones that were removed from the closures. Found Groupon deal.

Frederick Feeser

Clean and neat and animals appear healthy and content...needs more exotic animal exhibits.

One of the more interactive splash pads around!

Christina Brinklow

Had a great time at the exhibits.

Jeanine Measheaw

The butterfly house is such a nice exhibit. We enjoyed our time at the zoo.

Emily Hedman

Kinda boring and expensive

Miguel Ortiz

I thought it was a waste of my money to be honest I wanted to ask for a refund after walking around the park. Its just walking around a park with no animals.

Connie Mahar

A pretty little zoo that has nice exhibits. The animals look healthy and well taken care of. A good place to take a walk, very reasonable price.

All Rush

Great place to picnic and play and see the animals

Rick

Nice Zoo for wildlife found in North America. It's filled with preditors such as wolves, bears, and wild cats; as well as herbivores like deer, cattle, and tiny gophers that your children can try to catch since they seem to just live in the park and not in a habitat. There's also an awesome lookout tower with a great view of Watertown. Good for a few hours visit or attending fun events they throw.

T Connell

Been here many times, GREAT park and extremely clean. HUGE park that's really nice and the water park/splash pad that was just added is extremely nice as well. Great place for cookouts and 4th of July!

Peter Larson

Extremely family friendly and well set up. You flow through the zoo, never in a hurry, not to miss a thing.

Tom & Lauraina Nadelen

Needs A lot of work. All the exhibits are over grown. The birds look so sad. Instead of million plus on a pool the zoo could have used that to better the very few animals that are left to see. The lynx exhibit really smelled highly of urine. They are trying to make it look better by planting flowers and bushes everywhere. Fence posts lean A lot of caution tape around telling you not to walk here or there. It’s needs a lot to improve that’s for sure. Kids like it. In the heat though don’t expect to see many things at all active.

Iesha Hopper

The animals are nice to see

William C Neathery

Love this small hometown zoo! Does not have monkeys or elephants but the people are friendly and the zoo does a lot for the kids.

Jack Stephenson

My family and I have so much fun here. We bought a family pass for the season very happy we did. Its a cute zoo my kids love it so much. ????❤????

Robert Wagner

Small but fun for an in town day out of the house.

Teshla Freeman

Staff was friendly and helpful, gift shop and bathrooms were clean. Not very many animals, several exhibits were under construction simultaneously. Nice a lunchtime walk, but you'll struggle to spend a whole afternoon here until more of the work is done.

Alice P

Overalla nice place to have a picnic or time with the family there are nice views of the town from the hill top with picnic tables near by and a park with lots of things for the kids. There are trails you can walk your dog and you might encounter deer and other wildlife.

Ashley Elliott

I never been there but was raise there in watertown and hope soon to see the new park

Nathan Peck

Kids had lots of fun

Stefan Kunkoski

Love the animals at this location. As an animal lover, I would like to see the Couger and Lynx enclosures to be increased in size, because the current ones see a bit small

Lisa Lobdell

It's ok

Bradley Lettiere

Needs upgrades and more animals. Price to get in in outrageous for what they have to show

Barbara Moore

Too expensive for how small and little bit of animals

Majesta St. John

Micah McMeen

Some of the animals were not visible

Erin Fisher

Beautiful and well maintained zoo, it’s small in area so it won’t take long to cover the zoo. The butterfly house was especially good. Definitely recommend this place.

Harold Rutley

Barely any animals , half of it "closed for construction " It is a joke. They shouldn't be charging people to walk around. We literally saw a wolf, two otters, three black bears, an eagle, 5 butterflies, and a mountain lion. Don't waste your money.

jen moorhead

Great chance to see a bear that doesn't want to knock your trash can over at 2 am.

Crystal T

A nice place to have a picnic in the park.

Sunny Liu

Very good for kids and very clean

Anna Smylie

Neat

Emily Fell

Went there on a Monday 4 in afternoon. They closed at 5 but my granddaughter wanted to go. Couldn't go into the butterfly house, that was locked. The otters were already put away. Very disappointed. Just caught the wolf as they were putting it inside. I asked about paying a discount price because of the time but was told they couldn't do that.

David West

Nice small zoo exhibit. Wish they had more information about the animals and their habitats. Factors that impact them or endanger them. Unfortunately, there is not sufficient space for pack animals to have a few more members. . . Eg. The wolf exhibit.

Nathan McCune

Loved it

Brenda Mark

When I went it was storming, and there was snow everywhere. Most animals were inside and I was unable to see them, but I can't fault the zoo for that. It's a collection of local animals, and for the price (6$) I really think it's a great value even for what little I saw. I was most excited to see the Wolverine, but unfortunately he didn't come out. I feel bad that I can't full review the place as I know Covid certainly takes away from the attraction. There was an inside reptile and owl house though, and that was really interesting to see. I'll probably come visit again when the animals are more active. The otters were the favorite of this trip because they love attention.

Josh Pennock

It was the worse $21.00 my boyfriend and I spent. It literally took 15 minutes to walk the whole thing. Looks like they are more into spending money on the buildings instead of the animals or even bringing more animals to the area. Not recommended at all

Amy White

It is a cute and affordable zoo. We came here with zero expectations and therefore were not disappointed. There are not many exhibits, but you can tell that each animal is cared for and loved in a way that larger zoos may not have the same capacity for. If they had the funding it would be a bustling place to go to but being quaint also has its perks. I know some people complain of the walk between exhibits, but it also means less crowding and allows for more space between guests. My husband and I had a wonderful time here, especially at the otter exhibit. My favorite part about Thompson Park Zoo was that at each animal's exhibit, they offered a tidbit on the animal offering their name, their likes and dislikes, and where they came from. I was surprised to see that many of these animals were rescued from either unsafe living conditions in the wild, or were confiscated from residential homes.

Ronald Hochmuth

Nice little zoo

J Tole

This is a small zoo but very beautiful. The kids and I enjoyed walking around and seeing all the animals. It's a fun afternoon when your looking to do something with your family.

Robert Strauss

My son loves this place

ashley campbell

A very nice little zoo. Found a Groupon that came to $5/person. Spent about an hour walking around. Might have been less, but lots of the animals were up and about. Spent a good 10 minutes just watching the otters swim around. Specializes in indigenous animals. Decent amount of shady spots too. Great for a weekend activity.

Janette Raymond

Love the zoo

Patrick Reilly

Such a wonderful zoo. Staff is friendly and the price is wonderful.

Wish there was more to see. But loved the animals. Thank you.

We had a great time there. My only suggestion is do not go hungry. Both times we have gone with our family the snack area was not operating. There are vending machines, at prices expected for a zoo.

Tina Burr

Nice local Zoo that showcases Wildlife local to the area.

Anne Mccarty

We may have gone too early in the season but will give it another go. Didn't realise it was all native animals but still overall enjoyed our visit.

Russell Bristol

We just did the boo at the zoo. So very awesome

John Osborne

Not just a zoo but here at Thompson park there are both a large playground and public pool as well as slip and slide area great for kids and people of all ages to come cool off.

Sanae Hutchinson

Absolutely beautiful. It's best in the winter when the animals are active and the crowds are miniscule. The price is cheap and it's totally worth going, even if it's your hundredth time. They feature local wildlife, most of which are rescued from injury. It's lovely knowing that none of the animals are carted in from halfway around the world and that the zoo saved their lives, quite literally. I recommend that you go and then go back. Take your out of town friends.

Loria Young

What a surprise to see all of these animals in October. Great staff.

Eric Allen

Clean, beautiful walking areas, well kept grounds and animal areas. informative information about animals. A showcase of our area.

Frank Evans

Michael March

Amazing place to visit especially is you have younger children. Some of it was under construction when my family went but was still amazing. There's lots of trails, animals, food and indoors activities to do.

Mary Gerlach

The zoo shares what animals can be found in the local woodland area. It's calm and quiet but not a lot of animals.

Kelly Bates

9 animals and half of them you couldn't see. Never again

Serdar Turhal

Very cute little place .... all of the animals were super interactive with us came right up to the fences

Alice Anderson

There weren't a lot of animals, but we did enjoy the ones that we saw. The local zoo where we live in Rochester has a lot more animals, but the cages and exhibits have a lot less room for the animals. It usually is quite depressing when we go. The enclosures at this zoo were huge and we liked how they were set up. The animals were pretty close to us and even though it was a very hot day, there wasn't a lot of walking to get to each exhibit. We would definitely go here again, a beautiful zoo.

Daniel Cornell

I went there and they only had like 4 animals and they weren't even active. I've never been such a small zoo before. I didn't even stay 30 mins. That's how quick it takes to look at all the animals. I understand that some animals can't stand the cold but it shouldn't be like that.

Roy LaPree (RoyGBiv)

Beautiful park! Off leash dogs with owners who disobey leaah laws and lack of enforcement of leash laws can be problematic.
