REVIEWS OF Red River Zoo IN Wabana

Caren Timmerman

A true gem for the Fargo/Moorhead/West Fargo community. The grounds are beautiful and the animal collection is diverse.

Jack Arduini

Pretty underwhelming, I was excited to go since this is the biggest city in ND and I thought perhaps their zoo would be cool but it was pretty bland and tiny. Definitely a zoo more for lil kids and not 20 year olds lol

Kyle Voltin

Small enough to visit with our young grandchildren, but enough variety of animals to satisfy them.

Dominique Martinez

Small Zoo, not well kept. Needs investors to help with the upkeep and care.

Will Adams

We had a great time not a lot in the terms of exhibits and quite a few are boring but the cool ones are absolutely awesome Pandas, Foxes, Wolves, Otters

Jenn Reber

A small zoo, but definitely worth checking out in this time of high stress!

Amy Bird

Brought my 6 and 2 year old there they loved every minute of it very clean animals seem happy

Chad Burkle

Fun activities for children and lots of animals to see. Great family activity!

Deb Cunningham

Very clean, interesting exhibits. Just a bit pricey for the size of zoo

JD Herald

Totally amazing zoo, they threw a surprise anniversary party for my parents who frequent the zoo often and my dad volunteers there, and my 2 month old son got to experience his first close-up animal encounter with a red panda!!

Tasha Dunnavant

Weekday

Kelli Leeman

50$ for this its small and doesn't really have anything interesting

Joon Loves Crabs

Enjoyed a day with my family, and took some pictures of the beautiful animals, so cute!

Melodys music

First boo at the zoo and it was fantastic. We all had a blast.

Jose “lOkZ” Guerra

Wait time

debra Kristianson

Awesome family place! We come here at least once per month. They always have staff to educate us in the animals and the care provided. The year pass is the way to go, come often and enjoy the exhibits.

Amber Hill

It was ok no crazy cool animals but a fun place to bring the family no tigers penguins or bears but some other cool stuff it offers.

Derek Scott

A small nice zoo with lots of educational opportunities for the children!

Emily Quinn

Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. The natural settings are a nice change of pace. It is really interesting to know that they only have animals (other than the reptiles) that can handle the winter without too much help... hence the large number of animals from northern China and Mongolia like the Bactrian Camels :)

Brenna Monroe

Excellent zoo for it's size. It is still growing and is in a city that deserves a larger zoo. It should just get better over time. We went with family of all ages and everyone enjoyed it.

Brittany Oliver

It is a small zoo, the the price is very reasonable (at least compared to any big city zoo) and it is fairly well curated. Two hours here is plenty of time to see it all.

LaTeesha Rieck

Really enjoyed it, nice zoo for its size.

Dianna Geers

Love this place, full of childhood memories! GO IN THE WINTER! I’m winter the animals are awake and active! Great animals, employees, and place. Please go!

Mike Burton

Awesome place to see animals and birds in Fargo. Well maintained

Eric Hegg

Small but nice! I enjoyed the exhibits! Spent about 2 hours walking (its small, but I like to actually watch the behavior of the animals). Definitly a place to check out!

Jinx Rides

We had a wonderful time at this zoo. It was much larger than we expected! There was a very large variety of animals, a carousel and a playground. The sloth was just one of our favorites. I highly recommend visiting this zoo. You wont be disappointed.

Ceara Melicher

Love it! My kids always have a blast and it's small enough to be manageable.

Alan Fowler

It's a zoo. It's not the greatest zoo, but it's the only one we've got.

Zachary Zmyslinski

Really nice small zoo. The red pandas are my favorite. I am a member and the membership is definitely worth it.

Lanah T

It was a fun place to bring the kids with a lot of places to escape the heat. staff was friendly and told the kids all about the animals they were looking at

Marlys Smith Grafal

Very pleasant zoo. It's a good place to take a family trip to go see while in Fargo but isn't something that would be worth traveling to Fargo just to see. I hope they continue growing and improving the place.

Brianna Sky

What this place lacks for animals and size it makes up in care. Doesn't matter the time of day you will always see people feeding,cleaning cages, maintaining the grounds,walking animals etc.

Courtney Habedank

Fun for the whole family! Loved the interactive parts and the playgrounds????

Brittany Greene

With covid it had been a good year since we visited. We fell in love with the alpacas!!! The goats and Cows are always a treat to feed. And you always have to ride the carousel!!!

william Anderson

Small zoo that does a lot with little. Events are always well done. <3 Friendly staff and animals well cared for. Gift shop has a great selection. Carousel is simply beautiful and I'm so glad they take such good care of it. Snacks are delicious. I hope to see it get BIGGER in the future, but I do adore what they've done with the space they have. <3

cindy hanson

Such a fun zoo, plenty of animals and everything was close enough to see. We had a lot of fun and will defiantly come back.

marcus erickson

$6–10

Ashley McGeehan

No wait

Brianna Rud

The petting zoo is only open half the time, and there is nothing to see in the new veterinary exhibit. The bird exhibit is closed to the visiting body.

Lady Baddkitty

Soooo fun! What a variety of animals! I was able to see an Eagles nest up close. So cool!

Matt Gilbertson

Had fun at the zoo with Logan first time there

Napunohowreviews

As a child I was involved in an otter-related industrial accident. As a result of this incident, I have an inexplicable mental connection with all semi-aquatic mammals: ie otters, beavers, muskrats, platipie. The otters at this zoo and many others have incessantly expressed to me their want for a slide without rocks blocking the way so they can slide down it in a cute and playful manner. The pack at this facility value this item above all others and will not rest until this project is brought to fruition. As for funding, a donation box near the viewing windows was proposed by the self-proclaimed leader who calls himself “Skidmark” and seconded by “Bitey” and “Slippery Pete.”

TIM Beckerleg

Excellent selection from around the world. We love the interactive exhibits and the informative talks!

Roy Sachleben

Animals are close up so you can really see them. Small so though

Lucy Jacobson

I like this zoo. It's not super big but is still pretty good. The animals are nice here. And we also got a little "behind the scenes" tour. We got to see the kitchen and some other places. So that was pretty cool. I think this is a pretty good zoo to walk around and see all the animals.

Emily Olson

It is small would not go back it was not as much fun as u would think

Ron Fick

Small zoo and enjoyed the time there. Nice exhibits and definitely kid friendly. Covered Carousel in center of zoo.

Theora K

For the price you can't go wrong. Great little zoo. My kids love this place. There isn't a huge collection of animals but you can get close to the enclosures and the wolves are worth the price alone. They are doing a great job considering the pandemic. The gift shop is a great place to get a souvenir you can't find anywhere else in town.

Kim Hesser

Peaceful, well kept, healthy zoo animals, staff is very kind and knowledgeable . We especially like the trees that have grown up around to keep it shaded

Mikel McGee

We were most impressed with the meticulous upkeep. Fargo should be very proud of its little Zoo. When I get old I want to work there.

Sara Bakken

I was very disappointed in my experience at the zoo. After $40 in gas and $20 for tickets, I got to see animals that are normally found in North Dakota??? This was such a letdown. I thought OK well at least they have the red panda.... But even they were hiding.. Also some of the animals were very thirsty, it was hot... and their water dishes were empty.

W-K

Being that Fargo is such a big city I thought the zoo would be a lot bigger and have a lot more animals, more variety. I was expecting to see some bears, some tigers and a few other animals you would normally see at a zoo. The whole adventure from start to finish didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would and I was surprised to learn we had reached the end so soon. This zoo has nothing spectacular. Having driven an hour and a half each way, I was definitely disappointed. Also there were no snack places open and the souvenir prices were a bit high.

Heidi Galeano

My kids have a blast here every time. If you live in the area, the annual option is well worth it.

Christopher Orth

Loved looking at all the animals. We didn't realize the zoo closed at 5pm on Sunday and showed up at 4pm and still had to pay full price to get in. Great place to take kids!

Minh Nhat Huynh

Nice for a small zoo.

Nice zoo. They were helpful with a special group event.

Reneè B.

Love the zoo! Such a fun, relaxing family space. I wish the city would have passed that building plan a couple years ago to expand the zoo and add restaurants and everything to the zoo but they didn't pass that. Stupid people. They wouldn't add a .5% sales tax to build it which would have greatly helped our city and brought much tourism to city. Regardless I love the zoo. Such a pretty place they've made it. They should expand it to the other side of the bridge!

MrSrgsnowman (Christopher)

A fun little zoo to spend a few hours. The kids loved seeing the animals and walking around. Nice little petting/feeding zoo towards the back.

elizabeth janssen

Nice walk. Beautiful animals

Alex Nordlund

This was an unexpected stop for us and I'm so glad we did stop! There were endless things to see. The buildings were fun to look in and see the history of his people use to live. Tiny houses for large families all the way to 'mansions' with many rooms and luxuries. The tractors were a hit for my son and my bigger kids loved the telephone museum. They said, "the phones really worked! You could dial the phones and actually make phone calls (to the other phones in the museum)!" We went on a week day so there was almost no one else there. Perfect! But it looked like it was set up for fun events and gatherings. Definitely recommend. Family friendly and full of fun.

Egshiglen Enkhjargal

Small zoo but well laid out. And a few animals you might not see at larger zoos. Very glad they were open this season.

George Swift

Small, but, fun zoo. With interesting animals and stories to go with them. Very friendly employees.

Tracie

Small zoo, but extremely clean. Animals obviously happy, healthy and well cared for. Staff was friendly, helpful and informed.

Miss “Miss Bean” Bean

Small, overpriced, and quite depressing.... The animals are kept in FAR TOO SMALL of enclosures. The animals are lethargic and seem to be unhealthy.

Thomas Walker

Nice small zoo offering many local animals such as horses, wolves, and birds, as well as other animals such as camels, sloths, red pandas and more. Plus it has a working carousel!

YouKnow Roseth

Lots of shade, some rare species, social distancing

Dustin Church

Weekend

Caleb Myers

Pretty lame I was the only person there at the time not much to see

Ruger Mossberg

We are from out of town. This zoo has improved a lot since I live in Fargo, almost 15 years ago. There are a lot of animals to see. The staff was friendly, helpful, and informative. We hosted my daughter's birthday party here. Since we were from out of town, we weren't going to be able to get a cake, reschedule for another day, or anything. They took care of the cake, location, preparation, clean up, everything. We enjoyed our time at the zoo. The price was really reasonable too!

Renee G

Reservation recommended

Jeanie Colleen

The layout is great. The wildlife was active and lively. Beautiful scenery. Fall colors were amazing. I especially loved the Wolf habitat.

Jason Karlson

Price for adult entry

josiah olson

Wonderful zoo! Clean, well maintained and reasonably priced.

Griffen Schafer

We had read an article recently about a little red panda escape artist, so my husband and I had to go see for ourselves. We had a wonderful time and I'm always so happy to see the conservation effort and the attempt to raise awareness and give out information. Definitely a place I recommend donating to!

Michael Koska

Small but very nice. Lots of neat animals and you are ably to feed some of them and touch the alpacas and goats!

Celeste Glassel

Kind of small for the $12 entry fee. It was still a nice zoo and most animals were out and visible. it was a short walk from the Petro we parked at and a great couple hour outing!

amir alesadi

My favorite small zoo. Small but all of the residents seem happy and well cared for. The wolf pack is not to be missed.

Britt Ingersoll

Very nice staff but not much to see.

Dianne Skramstad

Beautiful place, but the wolfs was so skinny and the amazing horse was dirty. Thank you

Michael Gallagher

It was ok no crazy cool animals but a fun place to bring the family no tigers penguins or bears but some other cool stuff it offers.

trease day

We were pleasantly surprised at how much fun the zoo was for winter time!

JD White

It's not bad and you can enjoy a couple hours here. There's not a ton of exotic animals or anything. The place is well kept as far as cleanliness goes and the staff seem nice. Everything else is great. The membership can be used at many other zoos to get in for free or a discount. Prices are $7.75 for children 2-14, $9.75 for adults, $8.75 for seniors (60+), and carousel rides are $2.00. A basic single person membership is 45$ and a basic family membership is $65.

Deidra Holznagel

We loved the Christmas lights, and visiting at night made a whole different experience!

Emily Geyer

I spend such a great time in there, unfortunately I didn't get to see the red panda witch it was my main reason for going, they are many other cute animals to interact with. The facility is super clean, and i definitely recommend this place for the whole family.

Tayla Doeling

It's small but homey. The staff is friendly and so are many of the animals. It's a good starter zoo for really little ones. The Merry go round is sweet and fun.

Brittney C

Ok zoo crowed with people better option is trowbridge creek zoo

Brian W

Great place to bring your children for a couple of hours and it is fun for the adults too.

Suz Svare

Wonderful zoo. Not the biggest but great experience. Perfect size for an afternoon visit

Lizz Peterson

Great little place to enjoy. Fun staff and well cared for animals!

Tyler Egbert

Yes

Zach Benedict

A small but nice zoo to go to

Tracy Pierson

We went on a cool day but their was still a lot to see. It was a school field trip.

Ashley neva

What a wonderful small zoo! I had no idea Fargo had some of the best/most successful breeding programs for some rare beasts! Quite impressive, and yet cozy - in a very good way. A small zoo to make us very proud.

Chris Garty

Always a good time! The animals are well cared for and the displays are always clean.

Christina Adams

Boring and overpriced. Only thing my grandchildren really liked was the merry go round.

Ashley Haus

the weather was wonderful, the animals were excited to see us and we all had a great day.

Kris Kunde

This a wonderful place to go for Holiday Lights! My 8yr old and I visited for the first time. We had great time!

Brandon Shimpa

Excellent little zoo, great for families and small children. There are a couple different playgrounds and a carousel inside a pavilion that is air conditioned. We received a membership as a gift for my son's first birthday and try to visit once a week as something fun to do. It generally takes us about an hour to walk through, stop and look at all the animals with the stroller, without stopping to do any activities or read the signage. Take a few quarters if you'd like to feed the alpacas, sheep & goats. The first time we went I noticed how happy the wolves seemed to be and that they loved the zookeeper and ran right up to her, tails wagging, just acting like dogs and playing with each other. I've been to other "rescues" where the animals were unhappy and in small enclosures, pacing around anxiously. There is plenty of parking and even on busier days, it has never been what I would consider crowded.

John Coleman

Lots of fun kids loved it

Nate H (TechnoN8)

Love this zoo! Also don’t be afraid to tell them your ideas, I scored some free passes close to easter just because they liked my Easter idea using zoo passes!

Daree Lamb

Small local zoo. Good place for kids. Clean well maintained.

Michael Krueger (LoneNinja Photography)

We have gone every year since the Red River Zoo has opened. There is something new/ added each year. It’s great to watch places grow!

Carole Wheeler

The red river zoo is a stop you should make if your traveling with kids. There has been some updating and new exhibits added this year. We always love stopping

Brianne Ansberry

Great little zoo with some endangered animals and information about why they are threatened or endangered and how the zoo is helping.

Steve nygaard

A wide range of beautiful animals. Friendly knowledgeable staff that helps teach you and the kids all about the animals. Wide open paths and plenty of picture perfect areas.

Clinton Thornton

Fun afternoon with active animals in today's cool weather.

Jordan Kuznia

Pretty expensive and not many animals. The shaded walk is nice though.

Jesus David Castaño

It was a pleasant experience. It didn't compare to Minot or Bismarck zoo's. Maybe over time it will get better.

Kathy Haile

It may not be the best zoo in the region, but if you don't want to leave town, this is it. This does not mean that it is bad at all, but if you have time to drive, Chahinkapa Zoo is where you want to go for the full zoo experience.

Monica Hyde

This is a small zoo which is very well set out. This is the 2nd time we have visited and we will visit again very soon.

Shaina Mulvaney

Attended a Bday party there. It was great. Pizza, cake, carousel rides and a presentation from a zoologist with a couple small animals. Enjoyed every minute. After the party we toured the zoo.

Katelynn Morgan

This is a very nicely-kept zoo. It is very small, but quaint. If you plan to go a few times, the family membership might be worthwhile. They host many fun events and activities for kids and families, sometimes even free. They are open in the winter, too.

Brian McCulley

Great Zoo for a visit back to my hometown area. Keep it up Fargo!

Nicole

Very nice place. A lot to see with nice looking grounds. Wolves, camels, red panda, lots to see.

James Morowski

I love the Red River Zoo. They have lots of activities happening all the time, both family friendly and more adult events. The zoo is always clean and it is clear that the animals are well taken care of. The carousel and park are perfect for burning off energy for kids. My only complaint is that it is not big enough! Being a newer zoo, though, it takes time for that to happen and they are really good at continually adding and expanding. I highly recommend!

Tana Kosloske

It's a great little zoo, with plenty of animals for my family to enjoy. Of course, no trip would be complete without the carousel or a picture with the tiger-bison statue out front.

Desirae Gilmour

Kinda funny location, but great animals. Some are basically never there. Overall good small zoo. Awesome nursing mother's room.

Chelsi Kay

Only have driven by. More parking spaces than animals I've heard!

Arnez Bennett

Fun small zoo! Good viewing of the animals

Gloria Hutson

It's a nice small zoo, it just needs some TLC

Army Wife45

Great place to visit. Amazing for kids.

Marcy Fell

I had my wedding here and there were very helpful and nice the whole time.

Laney Davies

Cute little day date location.. small and quiet ????.. target ???? for a younger audience if u bring the littles with you ????

Linda Short

Wait time

Chris Carpenter

There's tons of stuff to do here aside from the animals. Two playgrounds, a carousel, concessions, small gardens to walk through. The habitats are great and kept up with. The whole zoo is very clean! Definitely recommend!

Isaac Adams

I love taking a stroll through the zoo it's always so peaceful, we love the otters and my ten month old loves the farm animals.

Greg Lord

Expensive for non members..they charge even little kids. Lacks a alot of animals. Not that exciting place to go.

Paganheart Heart

It was a wonderful place for bring your family and have some good time.

Jazlynn Violet

Worth the stop. Animal displays were clean and well laid out.

Hannah Reed

Awesome place to visit.. plenty of good animals & everyones so nice! Pokemon Go: 2 gyms, like 6 pokestops & plenty of pokemon spawns

Cammie Grafenstein

For a zoo...in Fargo...not bad. They obviously have a terrible location for expansion but what can you do. We're members. Everyone should be members.

Ken S

Our zoo in Fargo is great. Sally is doing a great job having her employees sanitize n the setup is great. You follow the paw prints around so everyone is social distancing.

Ashley Laine

Our experience was not up to standards for the price of admission. We had a fun time with our grandkids but for the animals they could see we could have sat in our backyard. Over all I probably will make the trip to any other zoo if we go again.

Cameron Carlson

The only thing you have to look out for is the carousel is super fast...otherwise a wonderful small zoo

Lilly Ihrke

Pallas cat kittens were cute and the carousel is nice as well.

Jamie Bylander

We love it here. I agree it is a small zoo but if you have membership it is worth it.

Megan Green

Disappointing really. No sharks, no gators, rhinos, and the Great Bald Eagle in a cage. So sad.

Michael Driscoll

Nice place to visit with your little kids!

onymaru

Small zoo but very nice to spend a few hours! Birthday party or weddings are offered.

Bobby Pochinco

$11–15

Mandy Smith

Pretty good zoo for the size.

Curtis Ness

Smaller zoo. Daughter loved the farm animal section.

Kwaku Baryeh

Great zoo! Spacious and nice that it's mostly outdoors. The animals look happy and healthy.

Anna B

Children love this place. When the COVID-BS paranoia is over this gem will return to its rightful place as a must visit and spend hours and lots of dollars at.

Jennifer Noack

Loved being able to feed the goats! And see the wolves so close! Awesome family outing!

Jessica Wilson

Awesome family experience. Small zoo, but very helpful and experienced staff.

Laura

Love the zoo! Great place to take kids (or grandkids) always a great time. Even got the carousel to end the day!!!

Pleasant open spaces & a surprising variety of wildlife make RRZ a welcoming & joyful destination for all ages.

Kelly Barbot

This is truly the little zoo that could! It's small, yet has more to do than some larger zoos I have been to! I only have one complaint, please brush your horse more often he really needed it when I was there.

Ryan Cormack

Went to the event Holiday Nights. My five year old had a blast. His favorite parts were the feeding animals section, free carousel ride, and the s'mores station. The lit up paths and decorations were lovely and it was great weather on the 28th to attend.

Jackie Arnold

Small, but inviting zoo. Great children and family programs!

Nelson Garcia

Cute Lil zoo. Had fun with grandbabies.????

NoDakRips

This Zoo is one of the most amazing places in Fargo. I highly suggest bringing young kids here along with adults as well. It offers an amazing experience for all ages from infants to the elderly. It is also relitivly cheap to go to as well.

Brady

Awesome place to take kids. We come here a lot and have exhibits for kids. Family pass has great value.

lost soul

I enjoy coming here for peaceful strolls. The zoo is rather underwhelming from an adult point of view, but the kids love it--especially the otters! It's a great place to spend the afternoon.

Jason Gauer

Great family friendly place, with lots of fun things happening! Would definitely recommend getting a membership to enjoy the zoo throughout the year!

Brittani Clae

Great zoo for the size. Friendly staff interesting mix of animals to see, otters, wolves, prairie dogs, camels, etc. Reasonably priced too.

William Kimbler

Great place! Good variety of animals and information on those animals.

Cindi Leach

Great zoo! All the animals are from a similar climate as ours in Fargo. Lots of rescues too.

Dan Jenkins

Was told they had strollers then got there and they didn't have them available for use do to covid

Kay Sig

It was boring, there were hardly any animals ther. honestly you could go to the middle of no where and have more exciting animals approach .. it smelled worse than the average zoo the animals did not seem to happy. It was twenty dollars a person for what was worth maybe 5.00 ...don't bother replying to my review it won't change ..it s***ed

Cory Huelsman

Excellent zoo! Friendly staff! Well maintained exhibits & all the animals looked well taken care of.

Logan Krueger

Great zoo. With some animals you don't normally see in zoos

Kory Johnson

Nice facility,Impressive work done at the Zoo. Polite staff Thank you

Anthony Kimball

Small but well kept. Cute zoo. Did the Holiday Lights Event and it was wonderful.

Ryan Brandon

The zoo is a great place, adding some variety may make it a bit better. I know that is tough to do on a smaller budget, but just a thought, because when you have small children they get bored seeing the same animals time after time.

Kayla Thompson

Small zoo but the price of admission reflects the size. It was great for our young kids and we were able to be in and out in about 3 hours. Bring quarters, there are lots of opportunities to feed animals.

Kyle Christoffersen

Very small zoo. We were disappointed. Literally took about 30 minutes to walk through it. Quite expensive ($10/adult and $7/kid). The Como zoo in Minneapolis is bigger (and free, but suggested donation of $3 /adult $2/child). This is what they should charge. Winnipeg zoo is about 10 times bigger, about 3-4 hours to walk through and $20/adult or $10 per child. Much better value.

Mal Jason

Cool place to visit. Lots of neat animals

Todd Anderson

Great zoo for little kids!

sonia moyeno

A cute little zoo, had a great time looking at all the animals.

debra hodge

Quaint zoo in Fargo. Well kept and clean, animals seem to be treated well. Interesting instructional demonstrations. An enjoyable afternoon with the family.

Jacinta David

Christmas lights at the zoo was fun, probably do it again next year.

Mateo Doar

Super little zoo in the heart of Fargo, well worth a visit

Hunter McDonald

Its a great little zoo, I wish they had more funding for more interactive learning throughout the day but overall not bad

Mike Green

It is a small zoo, but has big impacts. One of the best breeding programs for red pandas in the world.

James Bergman

So, if you have little kids and dont want to burn your day on a place like the Omaha Zoo, but you want to use about 2-3 hours. The Red River Zoo is perfect! We also got a Family Pass there it's awesome! Check it out.

Cristielyn Sanchez

Really nice place to visit with the kids. Only reason I'm giving it a 4 star is cause baby ducks got into the birds of the Orient cage, and the momma ducks was trying to get in to them. They should have a different set up for the pond drains to prevent that.

Jessica De La Rocha

Date of Visit: 10/13/2019 - We had a great visit to this zoo! Having grown up with the Minnesota Zoo (in Apple Valley, MN), this zoo seemed quite small, but we really enjoyed how quaint it was. We also enjoyed that there appeared to only be 4-5 families walking the zoo while we were there, so it was almost as if we had our own personal zoo to ourselves. The staff we encountered by the front door was incredibly friendly, however, the staff we encountered by the carousel were not friendly at all. We stopped into the shelter to take a quick photo of the carousel and were glared at the entire time. Only took us about 30-45 minutes to walk the entire zoo.

James Basinger

Absolutely love this zoo. It's not very big, but what they do, they do very well. Nicely designed exhibits/habitats for the animals with very nice information placards for each. They have a focus on creatures from a similar climate so as not to cause them stress from a North Dakota winter. Most of the animals are from the more mountainous parts of Asia. They work with different programs preserving endangered species including a breeding program for red pandas. Highly recommend visiting here.

Master Silenus

Nice small zoo. Uses natural topography for displays. Does not crowd enclosures. Plenty of local animals with good displays of limited exotics.

David Arreola

Nice place. The otter exhibits is pretty neat.

Jackson Fore

Really enjoyed coming here, price is really good, and the animals are always nice to see

Frimps-Akua O-A

Very pleasant experience. Quite impressed with the selection of animals. The ones featured are not commonly seen in your average zoo. Personal favorite was the wolf exhibit. Would definitely recommend.

David Kirscht

A nice zoo, well maintained and fun for younger kids. Being expanded for larger (non-farm) animals would be great for the metro.

Brad Devig

What a wonderful Mothers Day! Well kept, and the animals looked hreat!

Vivian Kensington

Really enjoyed it, nice zoo for its size.

Hayley Myers

No wait

Amy Galegher

Smallest zoo we have been to and we have been to many over our daughters 11 years of life. Paid too much for this place honestly. Probably could see more animals driving around then we seen here at this zoo. Just a shame overall we had higher hopes for it and just nothing to offer us. Most exhibits where run down and some didn't even had water in them for example the river otters had little to no water and the water it did have was extremely dirty. Just extremely disappointed in this zoo I really don't know how in a big city like fargo is how u could have such a small run down zoo like this. We have been in bigger zoos for smaller prices.

Shelley Hannig

It's a nice little zoo. A bit pricey especially if it isn't one it's discount days. It was worth the visit for us coming from Texas. Loved the prairie dogs and red panda.

Michael Kloeppner

Nice zoo and reciprocity with other zoos throughout the country

Show Me Your Kitties

Nice, clean, interesting and educational zoo.

Jeremiah Gard

Cute little zoo. All the animals were out and active.

Bette Bristol-Wolf

Amazing! Spent too much money but it was well worth it

Amanda Mullins

Awesome little zoo. We took our time and seen everthing in about 2 hours. We fell in love with the red pandas. My boys ages 12 and 10 loved it!

Jami O'Hara

Only about ½ the animals were out. It was ok.

Kaightie Munsch

Charming well maintained zoo. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit with our 20 month old granddaughter!

Abdulaziz Banawi

It was nice! I liked it that you could buy food to give to the animals for only a quarter, and it was a good amount of food too. My kids enjoyed that. They also enjoyed the carousel which was also very reasonably priced!

Stephen VanTassel

Nice, little zoo with some very nice grounds and eating areas, along with small little concessions placed in convenient areas. The staff is very friendly and willing to answer any questions you have. It is definitely worth a visit.

Krystal Taylor

Zoo was perfect size to walk with children! Well worth the drive the kids loved it

Paul Letvin

Attended their holiday nights event, my 5 yo enjoyed all the beautiful lights. Not sure it would be entertaining for bigger kids, he seemed to be bored. We were hopping for more animals.

Alicia

This is a nice little zoo. It only takes about 2 hours to see everything. All the exhibits were clean and the animals seemed happy. Lots of open space between exhibits for kids to run off some steam.

Karen McCreary

this is a very nice place, but not a very wide variety of animals

Sue Narozniak

Animals did not look very healthy. Seemed all this place did is show more about growing crops

Dakota Darci

Wild!

Lisa Gilmer

This is a fantastic zoo. It has an amazing variety of interesting animals I've not seen in much larger zoos. Their curation is phenomenal.

Isaac Heller

Great exhibits for such a drastic climate. Fun activities for families throughout the year. A true heart for the conservation of animals.

Jake Warkentin

Weekend

Margaret Harrington-Stephens

Visited on

Lindsey Bontjes

Loved all the animals. But thought it was bigger than it was.

Alexey Batchenkov

Great first date spot. Despite RRZ not being the biggest zoo around, it has a lot of character and charm. The wolves were howling last time I visited and it was truly a magical experience

Noelle Danford

This has always been a top notch small zoo. The animals are great and great environments. This must be one of if not the premier red panda breeding programs in the world

Sunflower 2000

The zoo in town is a lot of fun, the new year party every year is great time for kids and romantic couples. The otters tend to be the most fun to see when active. The petting zoo is also a great time. Lots of bathrooms and plenty of indoor buildings for when its cold or hot out. The hours change depending on season so be aware of winter and summer visits. The carasoel is also a fun activity for kids and smaller kids at heart.

Richard Trierweiler

Nice zoo. Good place to hang out with the grandson.

Maizie Parmenter

Great for young children.

Jacqueline Kodadek

Tons of fun!

Nathan Grismer

This place makes for a nice afternoon visit. Very kid friendly and a pretty good variety of animals to see and learn about. I hear some people use this as a wedding spot which would make for a unique start to your married life. Looking for something new to see give this zoo a look!

Fran Cintron

Great place for quick tour. The place is not that big small loop. We enjoyed it thou

Lois Bradford

Wait time

John Hunt

We booked an animal encounter at the Zoo for December. Due to inclement weather on the day of our scheduled event, we were unable to make our appointment that day. The Zoo staff were understanding of the situation and had no problem rescheduling our event for January. They even called us to confirm if we needed to reschedule. On the day of our animal encounter, Zoo staff had shoveled the animal enclosure and walkway leading to the enclosure before we arrived. They did an excellent job guiding out group through the closure, letting us participate where possible, and answering our questions. We had a great time!

Francis Casey

Small amount of animals .

Davee Z

The red river zoo is Fargo's only zoo. It's clean, the exhibits and pathways are well maintained, and the animals are treated well. Not the biggest zoo, and very walkable in a reasonable amount of time. The carousel and playground keep kids entertained even after visiting all the animals. The only bad thi g is the admission prices area bit high, coming in at almost $10 a person.

Cyndia Schneck

No

Matt Puntney

Awesome very clean only missed one animal we couldnt see.

Brad Niedfeldt

Went for the fourth of Zoo-ly. Very well kept zoo! Thank you for supporting our troops!

serenity danielson

Great place to visit, my kids really enjoy it.

Greg Lee

The kids had a blast on all the paths and feeding the animals!!

LaCresha Mirrielees

My kids love this place.

Sarah C

Not very many animals! The park only takes 30 minutes to see everything. Some seem to think it is pricey but I don't think $10 per adult is expensive. The staff was friendly!

Fargo Tourist

It's a nice zoo but you when last visited not once did we see anyone tending to the animals. The enclosures need some modernization. The animals seem bored and I would highly recommend they add a petting zoo area. The fact that we could turn our tickets into a family membership was only thing exceptional about this zoo

Andre Roberto

Very nice and small zoo. Disappointing size of zoo for how big Fargo is and not a great variety of animals. Great for ages 1-5.

Michelle Werner

We visited for their Christmas season special. Loved it! Our daughter is just about 2 1/2 had a great time seeing, feeding the animals and also enjoyed the carousel and fire they had going.

Amber Miller

A very nice zoo. Lots of different animals. The grandkids had a great time. Beautiful flowers and plants. Lots of mature trees for shade....nice walking paths.

Mathew Grimm

Great little zoo. Lots of animals and two great playgrounds.

Mark Switajski

Great zoo. Awesome membership prices

Daniel York

This was actually a surprisingly nice zoo. I didn't know what to expect with it being in the city. It is clean. There is some nice artwork and a fair variety of animals.

Kramer Schmidt (KrameDawg)

Great fun with the family. Very clean. Our little one loved feeding the alpaca's!

Kimberly L

I've enjoyed my time there. ❤

Selena Golden

Great for small kids. We have a family membership and it is well worth it for the amount of times we go plus free admittance to special events.

Steven Brown

So much more than we expected when we first pulled up! Was a great time!

Rose D

Was good....but not nearly as nice as Wahpeton a zoo/animal assortment!!!

MX XT

Still a lovely place even in this pandemic. Perfect get away!

Charlie Francis

Good place for PokemonGo community day, but rather tame in animal selection. Good place to show city kids parts of a farm life and a few other animals.

Mitch Pash

Pretty big place, not as many animals as I thought would be there.

Frank LaLonde

A great place to spend an afternoon with kids. We love going and my grandchildren especially enjoy being "hands on" with the goats and feeding the animals that are allowed to be fed. Lots to look at and you can also enjoy a bite while sitting at a picnic table. The new areas are beautiful and very kid friendly. Also, at the end of our time at the zoo, we all enjoy the beautiful carousel. Great for families with younger children who don't want to travel a long distance to see some unique and familiar animals.

Katie Banley

Very expensive for the quality of the zoo. Most animals were not visible, poor setup.

Trisha Page

Absolutely gorgeous zoo with adorable animals. The red pandas are super active when it's not as hot out.

Tammy G in ND

Great place with nice habitats. They usually have holiday specials so you can get in for free or discounted if you watch their site. The carousel is beautiful and indoors so if it starts to rain or if it's cold it's lovely and cheap. They also do reasonably priced birthday parties.

Katrina Ziells

The entry price is affordable and goes to the animals, so I never have a problem with going there. They have a very wide variety of animals to view, and learn about. You can host many events for a decent price, thr only issue is that the food is quite pricy, but its all good. Definitely a favorite to bring friends, family, or a date.

Bryan McClean

Most of the animals here have good sized pens.

Donald Obermiller

It’s nice that it’s a smaller zoo than I’m use to in St. Louis, MO but I was sad to see that none of the goats had food in the quarter machines for us to feed them. The horses didn’t have water in their bowl. A lot of it looked run down and not well taken care of :( I’m not sure I would like to take my children there.

Be More Colorful

Love taking our Grandkids here.

John-Paul Klein

It's always a treat to go there. I get in my steps for health and have the joy of seeing the birds and animals. I'm in a walk group with two friends and we love the Wednesday morning Walk Program starting at 7AM to 9AM. We go inside the carousel building at 9 to have coffee, water, and a couple of donut holes while we listen to Sally as she shares the educational component with all of us. It's very interesting and tons of fun. It's an ever changing zoo with a big heart.

Bob Christie

My kids love this place so I bought them the year membership. I don't go because they give me an escort and make me feel uncomfortable from bringing my service dog.

Robert Stephens

Weekday

Namarie Dansuri-Keating

Great little zoo. I had never saw a Takin before, very cool looking animals. For the price its a great place to take a break on long road trips

Cindy Richards

Not sure

Ellie Akola

Nice place. Very clean. Reasonable entry fees. Needs a few more animal exhibits. The carousel rocks... almost got dizzy :-) Fun place.

Jeff Lashbrook

Total waste of time and money. See as many animals at a pet store. And countless exhibits were empty.

Tony Ladouceur

Nice Zoo. Clean, animals well cared for, very nice exhibits.

Ratna Sangdhan

Love going to the zoo. A real gem! Conservation focused and educational.

the amazing world

Smaller for a Zoo but still really nice. lots of stuff to see including wolves and bald eagles

Christopher Chatoney

Awsome day had a blast will go again !!!

Barbara Weaver

Nice small zoo.

Brandee Glover

Nice zoo to take my granddaughter to!

CaitLynn Juntunen

Great experience! I wished I had gone when I lived here 17 years ago!

Lucas Fatland

Have membership so get in at 9 instead of 10 open time is sweet. Plenty of space to not have to fight off the covid disbelievers. Please donate and volunteer often

Dan Bertsch

Not a huge zoo, more like a stroll through a park with exhibits. I think I will cancel mt membership at the gym and walk through the zoom, its a lot more peaceful.

Charles L.

Beautiful day to use our zoo membership! Not too many people, and able to spend 1 1/2 hours enjoying the animals!

Doug Windom

Loved seeing all the animals and LOVED feeding the goats!

Dave Kuske

Fun little Zoo. Animals were active. Great place to take little kids.

James Rook

Not a very large zoo; you can go through it in less than an hour. However, it does have a wide range of animals and it is working hard to expand and improve it's exhibits. For the reason it looks like a new zoo despite being around for awhile. Frequent zoo talks by staff to educate people on various animals. Successful breeding program means usaully you can see baby animals in the spring. Popular exhibits include the otters, wolves, and red pandas.

official_someoneplayz

To expensive for 30 animals you see in the winter. Maybe good for really small kids.

Matt Ruhland

Our kids love this zoo. We live about an hour away, and it's the closest zoo we have. It's enough animals and activities to entertain our little ones. They have a little food court to order lunch or snacks. They also have a very cute gift shop. The kids get super excited every time we go.

Joel Aukes

We're from New Orleans, where there is a huge zoo, and live in Minneapolis, where there are 2 huge zoos, so we thought this one wouldn't be as good when we arrived because it was so much smaller. But it was, and I think for that reason! I loved how close you could get to the animals. We touched all of the animals in the petting zoo/farm area. We fed ducks, geese, and farm animals. We could've touched the prairie dogs even (but didn't in case they would bite), and we were able to touch and pet the male deer (super cool experience!!). The eagle was also nice to see unobstructed since he has an open-front enclosure. The wolves and red panda were so awesome to see up close. The carousel was also fun. Overall, LOVED this zoo. Very glad we stopped.

john ellis

Very clean exhibits, the animals appear to be happy and healthy. The otters are adorable and love people. Would definitely go back.

May Boardman-Taylor

Cute zoo, unfortunately we missed the red panda, Their employees were all friendly, Sally really does care about her Zoo super nice person.

Evelyn Knutson

This is a breeding zoo where animals are brought to help increase their population.

Amy Saeter

This is my first time at the zoo. For a small one it very nice

K.Kay

Excellent zoo, it's definitely on the smaller side, but perfect to tour for 2-3 hours, lots of variety in animals, perfect size to visit with kids, they shouldn't get fatigued or bored. Lots of interactive stuff involving farm animals, including feeding pellets to a small group of Jacob's sheep.

Andrew Uden

Honestly the smallest zoo I've ever been to and it doesn't take long to walk around and see everything but it's still enjoyable and definitely a spot to bring the kids. Staff was friendly and helpful while I was there.

Pat&Kitty Shirk

Was expecting less but ended being there for a while ???? loved it

RILEY Riley

The Fargo zoo is a family friendly spot, great for little kids who want to walk.

jonathan silvers

Was kinda small but was a decent zoo

Martha Johnson

My toddler loves the zoo! We have a season pass and pop in for an hour or so. There's always something going on to see!

Bear Oldcastle

The foliage has grown up through the years, making the walk through much more pleasant. I hope the budget will someday allow expansion of the animal species exhibit s.

Charito Teegarden

We love going to the zoo! Red River Zoo is always fun to go to. We like going to events they put on and it's fun to walk around and enjoy all of the animals and exhibits. If you haven't gone yet I would definitely recommended going! Bring the kids! They'll have fun feeding the animals and also learning about them as well. Follow them on Facebook and you can keep up-to-date on the happenings at the zoo!

saisha kohl

Small.. but super cute..the kids loved it!

Adele Furness

The zoo is good and everything, just wish they would have a cheaper admission fee for winter being all the animals aren't available. Just a thought

Julie Jones

Reservation recommended

Maggie S

Always a good time! The animals are well cared for and the displays are always clean.

Carissa Baker

$50 to see 10 animals. Never going back.

Samantha Y.

The Red River Zoo is pretty young but is full of some awesome sights, especially for kids. My two year old loves the otters and wolves. All of the exhibits are well designed for smaller kids to view the animals as well as those that are blessed with height. With many unique events offered, including holiday nights and earth day celebrations I recommend this zoo!

Stephanie Rupard

Took our grand kids. They and us had a great time. We spent an enjoyable 3 hrs

Nereo G

Small but fun. My kids live feeding the animals.

Brandon Yoder

Pretty small for the price and they few animals that are interesting are typically inside and unable to be viewed.

S L

Love it! So fun to take our girls to the zoo!

Ashley Morel

It was very hot the day I was here so only a few animals to see. Wish there would have been more indoor areas to view the animals. The staff was friendly and helpful. Nice gift shop and carousel building. This zoo specializes in cold weather animals to don't expect to see giraffes or monkeys.

G Court

We always enjoy coming to the RR Zoo

Michelle Davis

Worst zoo ever!! Not only was it boring it was very expensive for seeing everything in less than 30 mins. I have been to free zoos that were way better than this.

Kyra Warner

A very nice zoo with many different types of animals on hand. Much more than I thought they would have in fargo north Dakota. They had an assortment of everything from monkeys to camels to farm animals. My grandkids loved interacting and feeding the livestock such as goats and you actually get your hands on and can touch some of the animals I especially liked the timber wolf exhibit I was amazed how large they are. Also take a ride on there full sized carousel it's first class. A relaxing afternoon with much to do It took us about two hours to walk through the whole exhibit. Also they have water and pop stations all over the zoo and a snack bar. We'll have fun it's worth the trip.

Jennie skye

That Zoo has a lot of animals and a very wonderful place to take the kids! Lots of parking and a carousel for the kids! Lots of activities for the kids and lots of rare animals!!! Young and old would enjoy it!!!

Tina Ball

Great animals n awesome gifts very friendly helpful staff

Joshua Nordquist

I didn't expect much, but I was thoroughly impressed. Lots of cold weather animals uncommon in other zoos.

Racer Girl

I love the atmosphere of the Red River Zoo! It is something so simple, yet so fun to do with family and or friends. You have many options of where to start. There are demonstrations throughout the day so that you may have a closer look at some of the animals. The staff here ( whom I have encountered at least) are always around, knowledgeable, and friendly. They also do birthday parties and small events. Get your membership today you won't be disappointed.

Mike Bruguier

Great little zoo. Wish it was bigger! Only need about an hour to go through.

Mike

Way too high of admission. Paid to pretty much take a walk and let our kids play at a park for 30min. Out of the whole zoo only saw about 5 animals. Doing work on too many exhibits so the animals were not present. Not very much to see, not very many animals. The exhibits are nice. And zoo is kept very clean. The zoo itself is very nice.

Tony Flippance

My grandsons had an awesome 9th birthday party there today. What awesome people working. Thank you so much ????????????????????????????

Blue Collar Boys

Pick up lots of quarters to feed the animals. Many will eat right out of your hands.

Trinh Pham

Not sure how we missed where the red pandas were but we did...

Lawrence Romero Jr

I would just like to say that the zoo is great. I brought my 99 year old grandma in a wheel chair it is not handicap accessible. People in chairs can not see the animals and rough trails. Chains hanging that get caught in the tires. So would like to see that change.

Rhonda Gaden

Yes

Mike Prekel

Its definitely no Chihankapa Zoo, but if your looking for a quick activity to do with the kids this will do.

Cap'n Philly

Super family friendly. The carousel was out of order when we went but everything else was great! Very clean, animals look healthy and happy!

Para Un Tiempo Como Este Rosaly Guzman

Great little zoo featuring otters, red pandas, wolves, and selection of barnyard animals. Our favorites were the prairie dogs and alpacas! Unfortunately the red pandas were hiding inside from the heat and the otter exhibit was closed for cleaning. We really enjoyed our visit with kids ages 2-12. Definitely visit if you have a couple of hours-we will be back the next time we're in town. Riding the carousel was a fun way to end our zoo visit too!

CowboyCrow

Great little zoo with plenty to do for kids and adults alike!

Shelby Olson

Great local zoo, they do a good job at re-investing their funds back into the zoo.

Heidi Koehntop

It was a beautiful Zoo

Matt Mason

Closest place to visit zoo. staff was friendly....the animals are more domestic farm animals from all over the united states......no tigers, lions, hyenas, african animals...or animals from asia...alot of horses, cows, rabbits, birds, gophers, eagles....porcupines....the usual midwest

Josh McLemore

Great local zoo that is lots of fun for families. Hosts many events and has a passionate and dedicated staff who are great to interact with!

Megan

$31+

Stugotz

Cool animals, I was surprised with what the zoo had to offer.

Chet Wooten

Nice little zoo with some interesting animals. Just wish it was a bit bigger.

Amy Vandal

Right place to spend a half of a day or so if you have little kids. Carousel, ice cream, play ground and cute animals around they have all of these. This is true that zoo does not have large variety of exhibited species. I believe this is only mater of time. Those what they got looks like have very nice condition. Manuls (Pallas's cats) and Red panda are my favorite ones! Lynxes and wolves are cool too. Territory looks clean and well organized. I could say their staff doing great job and they have strong abilities to grow.

Brad

This is a lovely zoo! There's a surprising variety of wildlife. The zoo is not too big, with lots of places for kids to play, and to stop for a rest. The prices are good, too. We'll definitely be going back!

Madhur Shetty

Selection of animals isn't the biggest, but my kids always still have fun. Zoo is clean and staff are polite and friendly. Zoo often has events and special days which are also fun, like Trick or Treat events, summer spectaculars etc. Zoo includes a petting zoo for children and an old restored carousel. I'm guessing the entire zoo could be seen in 45 minutes or so if you were quick, but we tend to spend a couple of hours per visit.

Jason Peterson

Not bad. Didn't see very many animals. Over priced I my opinion

Megan Casper

Fun zoo. Small but clean and enough to keep the grandkids happy. We very much enjoyed our day there

Abigail Olker

The Red River Zoo is an amazing gem in North Dakota. They do amazing conservation work with a number of animals. It is a good place to walk around any day if the week. Some of my favorites are the alpacas that were just recently added and the Pallas cats. If you have a chance check it out and if you like it buy a membership or donate. The community support helps keep this zoo going.

Margem Okalwa

Very clean, pretty zoo. Awesome carousel. Not many larger animals, but still an easily returnable family outing.

Kevin Halfpop

Nice and fun for the whole family. I loved walking in and seeing a sloth immediately on your left.

Meghan Battest

The RR Zoo is a great place during times of struggle or any time, for that matter. The animals do not care about your political views, your religion or lack of, or the pandemic. When you come to the Zoo you are in constant fresh air and the antics of some wonderful animals. You will enjoy the RR Zoo which is the only one of its kind ...presenting cold winter animals. Right now, come for pretty lights hot chocolate & smores as HOLIDAY NIGHTS are presented.

Leo Marty

Great zoo, attended an evening event there. Great caterer and nice to see animals in a smaller crowd.

Mel Scovel

Staff were very friendly through the zoo, have many animals that you can't see around here, and usually the animal clinic in the zoo is open so other people can see the animals during checkups

Gary Stuart (Gary19578)

Kinda spendy, but there's animals I've never seen before!

Nicole Maring

Beautiful grounds. Nice collection of animals. And the cages aren't too small

Kay Kendall

Have been here multiple times for different events. Nice to have our own zoo in the area! Enjoyable!

kim wagar

Loved the hawk lady tonight! She was a load of information and such a pleasant personality!

Dale Twedell

Real nice zoo for it’s size, well done Red River Zoo!

Lance Kolb

Fun little zoo but the chain link fencing MUST go

nova63II

Very small zoo. Most eciting thing is the wolves. I honestly just watched them for 20 minutes. Makes it somewhat worth it.

Amanda Reinert

Neat and interactive attractions. Always neat to see this place!

Aimee Thapa

This zoo is just the right size. You can easily walk around the zoo without getting exhausted. The carousel is fun!!! There is a nice variety of animals. The plant collection is very nice too! The snack shop offers dippin dots and other munchies. A nice little get away.

Lynda Colvin

A cute little zoo, great area to bring families of all ages.

Kevin O'Brien

First time here and loved it. The layout was great.

harry mcfarland

Medium sized zoo with a lot of beautiful anumals.

Susan Deneffe

There was one stunning I mean absolutely gorgeous specimen wandering around today. She was breathtaking. Turned out to be my woman.

Rick Varanai

Enjoyed the Zoo with my family.

J's Reviews

For November you can't beat this place. Whole family had a blast

nelsonclan03

We can't wait to go back!

Michael Fink

My 2 year old had a blast it’s kind of expensive for a single mom but totally worth the smiles!

Carl W

Its a really nice zoo. A perfect little zoo to take your children to.

Ewald Kube

Fun time with the family and I got all slobbery feeding the cow. Lol

Heather Hebert

For the price they wanted was way too much to ask for. I paid $33+ and didn't get to much at all. The best 4 things were the eagles, over sized lawn chairs, over sized picnic table and the dancing porcupine. If you wanna waste money go. Oh …

Mastiffs Drool

No wait

Diane Rensvold

Visited here the day before I got married.. great fun

Danny Boully

This is a very nice zoo. An excellent variety of animals. Fun playground for kids and a carousel to boot. We paid for membership and will be able to apply at hime for discounts on our local zoos. Highly recommend going early begore the heat of the day.

Melissa Beach

This zoo is perfectly pleasant. It's not a large zoo, so think of it more of a big park that has some animals to look at.

Casey Daucsavage

Very nice place. Went on a pretty hot day so some of the animals were hiding. We had a lot of fun.

Rebecca Bond

It's a nice little zoo. Great for younger kids. Not expensive, friendly staff.

Logan Jones

Kids loved it, adults did too

Beezily Boo

One of the most depressing places I have been, most animals looked like they were dead, or next to it. Or they just went there. Hated it, will never go back

Lynn Overboe

RRZ is a great place to visit for the whole family. It takes about 2 hours to visit the entire facility. You'll see animals that you've probably never seen before!

Christain Clapham

Awesome place to take the kids to get close to so many animals

John Ondieki

Fun zoo for a first time trip; red pandas are always fun to see. Nothing compared to the San Diego Zoo, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, or Denver Zoo. Came here for the Pokemon Go event and was sadly disappointed by how small the facility was.

Janet Halfpop

Great Party for the Planet! Always a good place for a walk and connect to nature.

Courtney Wolter

I paid $40 to get into the Zoo and it's not that great, I didnt see any bears or Monkeys, I have been to smaller zoo's that are much better. We will not be bcak.

Tyler Losinski

Great place and very educational, my kids had a lot of fun.

PAT ENSRUD

This is a great little zoo, the new otter exhibit looks awesome

Jackie Fakler

Small zoo but worth the price. Fun for kids

Wanda Barr

Great time walking around looking at animals

Dawn Hanna

This place is great to spend with family

Amanda Stende

Very clean and animals look well taken care and not sick

Jennifer Buhr

Great little zoo for the area. Love the Red Pandas and feeding the goats.

Adam Geraghty

Very small zoo. There are some animals from other parts of the world that you usually don't see at other zoos. All including the animals looked very well taken care of.

kobe frey

Not a big zoo but a beautiful atmosphere and the little one enjoyed it.

Betty Crook

Great place to take my son. Not to large can see everything in a hour if you have been there before.

Chris Getty

Our family loves spending time at Red River Zoo!

Clark Brown

A nice little zoo. wish there was more but they do have great events there. just went to a Christmas night there and my kiddos had a great time.

Kristina Cook

Most animals were visible. There is a playground in the zoo for the kiddos and a carousel.

Brent Johnson

One of the smallest zoos in the country & surprisingly not all that impressive. As a single person walking through the 23 exhibits total I was able to clear the zoo in under an hour. The heat I also believed kept some of the animals inside as well. Big disappointment

Ashley Schreiber

We went in the early afternoon and unfortunately, a few of the animals were not out- wolves, deer, lynx (bobcat?), and few others were sleeping. The animals that were out were fun! The meerkats and otters are always so fun to watch! The goats and alpaca were hilarious. I recommend going during the morning and bringing a lot of quarters to feed the farm animals. They have a couple play areas which were a hit! Carousel was down but that seems to be typical. ???? It's a fun little zoo for my young kiddos! We will go again. ????????

Ringside Ross

I was a little worried about it only being $10, but the zoo was excellent and the animals looked healthy and comfortable.

Jay Hagen

For the price they wanted was way too much to ask for. I paid $33+ and didn't get to much at all. The best 4 things were the eagles, over sized lawn chairs, over sized picnic table and the dancing porcupine. If you wanna waste money go. Oh and bring your own wheel chair. The regular sized ones are all they had. My friend who is on the larger size got stuck in it.

Roxy Mustafa

Loved it! It was a lot of fun to go with the wife and daughter. May be small but totally worth it!

Tyler Shafer

It's a smaller zoo compared to others but it offers and good variety of animals, all of which are good in the cold weather. Price of admission is reasonable and when all the animals are active it's quite an enjoyable trip that takes a couple hours.

myfunlife

Small zoo. Entrance is pretty reasonable $11.25 for adult $8.75 for kids. SInce its summer most of their animals are in hiding. They have somekind of a gumball machine of food for the alpaca and the goats which is kinda cool. They also have a small park for kids to play and a carousel. There's food for sale but not much selection.

Luke Torgerson

Fun, entertaining and educational place to go.

Maggie Kohls

Great value. Kids loved it. Went on a weekday afternoon and virtually had the place to ourselves.

Shelly at MUSE Organic Cosmetics

Good atmosphere, good shake, food was OK.

Amy Thurley

It's ok not things to see but was nice

Nick Scott

I've been going to this zoo for almost my whole life and I love it because all of the animals that you get to see and more

Teresa Pope

Yay zoo!!

Jacob V.

The otters are kind of the stars but the camels are neat too. Sometimes the zoo let's you feed the camels.

Tim W

Always nice and clean and animals are well taken care of

Sharon Woinarowicz

Best zoo I have ever been to. I love the setup, the animal enclosures are full of enrichment, lots of parking, very helpful staff and all around the best family outing.

Benjamin Carlson

Great family fun. Easy to see in an hour. Printer down the day we were there so no map available.

Melba Gotay

Fun, but the enclosures seem small and the animals didn't all look thrilled. But there was a variety of animals and it was a good time.

Robert Schwaller

Thanks for letting us mothers in for free, always a good time at the zoo!

Sandra Aarestad

Such a lovely zoo. We love our visits!

Casey Yonkers

nice local zoo, thought it was well worth the $10 fee.

Nathan Fuder

For a small zoo, there are actually some interesting things to see and they have a couple things that will keep kids interested. A good family day trip.

Mariana Monarrez

Love this zoo. It's a nice size to see everything. Always clean.

Nikki D

I enjoyed the zoo very much. Beautiful grounds to walk around, clean environment, and the animals were happy and healthy????????????????????????????

Jamie Foltyn

Went the in the winter and we barely saw any animals(obviously) but the lights were pretty

mariah thiery

Had a great time. Nice little zoo .

Christina Pikula

A very nice little zoo, well kept and friendly staff, happy to answer any questions about their charges. I visited in the morning, so lots of habitat cleaning.... Some animals I didn't see, simply because it wasn't their time of day, don't expect a big commercial place with tons of exotics, it's a small local zoo and well worth the visit.

Jane Lemieux

Really fun visit for Halloween! Beautiful zoo!

michael sly

Fargo, ND has a zoo. It's great. Imagine the animals that CAN live in captivity in a zoo in Fargo! It's not like we are going to make a huge dome for animals to live under on our tax money, or our donations. My whole family loves our zoo and the incredible animals that they bring to us. I applaud there efforts and visit often!

David Wright

This zoo would have been great IF they would have had the highly advertised Carousel ride available to actually be ridden- but it was closed for maintenance. I also had a problem with the way some of the animals were taken care of- there were 2 HUGE Bald Eagles that were keep in a very small environment, much to small to accommodate their large wing span! I don't see how either of them could fly around, especially both at the same time! It made me kind of sad.

Rebecca Rabbitt Pogorzelski

A small and wonderful gem with easy access in Fargo. A family tradition every year on the girls shopping get-away! Go early for happiest animals. Highlights include the wolves... the red panda... and the authentic merry-go-round!

Ryan Anderson

Ton of kids there great food had the animals we're looking to look at and it had trick or treaters and as Halloween themed and you got a pumpkin at the end

Corey

So kind and informative on all animals. Made my and my boyfriend's trip outstanding.

Leah Strehlow

Loved it!! All the animals were out, dispite the warm weather.

Dixie Normuss

Enjoyed the Fargo Zoo with my grandson.

Sue Starkenbirg

It's always a nice day when it starts with a visit to the Zoo! At 10:30 am the Zookeeper give a talk about the animals. A different animal every time. Today it was on the area panda. So interesting!

Karyn Davis

Any place with otters is a five star review from me.

April

Good experience!!! Loved the animals. Very friendly staff.

Adam Sanchez

I've enjoyed my time there. ❤

Bobby Lalonde

Nice zoo friendly people there

Heather Larson

It's a smaller zoo but they do a lot with what they have. It was fun being able to feed some of the animals and the staff is friendly and always willing to answer your questions. If you have children this would be a great place to bring them. If you visit on an exceptionally hot day don't expect a lot of movement from the animals.

Mary Floden

I loved this Zoo!! It was fun, clean, and very interesting!!!

Cory S.

One of my favorite places! Love all the animals!

Maria Luna

Weekend

Nicole Frye

A small, but still very fun zoo. Plenty of animals to see, feed, and pet. Very clean and highly maintained.

jorgea MENA

A very sweet and just-the-right-size zoo. It won't take you all day, but it also won't go by too quickly. Most animals are close enough to see easily. Granted some just want to be out of sight while sleeping. I can certainly relate. We got to see a zoo keeper talk on one of the animals. The keeper was very knowledgeable and kind with dozens of child-like questions bombarding her. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience.

Mr. Shazam

We always have an amazing time! Small zoos like this are perfect for toddlers! My two year old will lead the way and tell us what animals are coming up. He has a blast! The summer nights program is perfect for a family night out after my husband gets home from work! I love this zoo! :)

James Hobson

Went for the first time ever, smaller than I thought it'd be but it was a great time for the whole fam. Thank you!

John Retterath

Very impressed by the variety of animals! Good time! And the carousel was SO fun!

seth johnston

Nice little zoo, but late afternoon all animals sleeping in shelters

Carol Radke

Well, there are a few animals that aren't indigenous to the area, so that's cool. And they have an awesome sloth. Kids love it. Carousel always rules. Overall pretty cool.

Lisa Malone

A lovely little zoo. Easily walked in a couple of hours. Great interactive kids exhibits. Can't wait to visit again.

Troy Longtin

Didnt get to see the pandas :( which is the whole reason I wanted to go but it was still beautiful!

Gay Dybwad

It's a small zoo, but the animals are well taken care of. Small kids live it, and it has a very reasonable entrance fee, or a membership. It's also a nice place to walk around and get some exercise, or play Pokemon Go. It's wheelchair accessible as well. There's a carosel, and a great playground.

Shannon Mohn

Staff was knowledgeable but was not made aware of how few animals were available for viewing before paying admission. Made the visit a bit of a disappointment

Dathan Howard

A wonderful little zoo with plenty to see and enjoy.

Greg Stately

Awesome Zoo. I wish the otters were out more though.

David Williams

Our family’s go to for a day out! Their COVID guidelines are great as well.

greg briese

Just an ok zoo, fun for the kids

Shelly Kepler

Not bad for a little zoo. Well maintained exhibits.

Rusty Shackleford

Have been here a few times and always a fun experience to see the animals and walk the small trail they have here! Nice gift shop as well

Lealand Parsons (Rebel)

Small but very nice and clean zoo!

Renee O'Connor

Great free event. My son loved chalking up the sidewalk. Fun to see the camels playing in the water

Robert Levasseur

Very well kept zoo. Lots of fun events!

Tara H

It was fun but multiple enclosures were empty, including our favorite, the Otters. The kids enjoyed the playground and the other animals. The carousel was not working and all of the food dispensers at the petting zoo were empty.

Kristin S

Great zoo!!

Timothy Martin

So cute... Small but beautiful.. Can't wait to come back

Krista Tendler

Price for adult entry

R B

Went to Boo at the zoo, kids had a blast seeing the animals and trick or treating as we went.

Steph DeForrest

We try to visit every year. One to two hours is never enough time for us. There is so much packed in to see that we could spend an entire afternoon here!

Mike Robinson

Even under feet of snow this zoo is still full of beautiful, active animals. 25 degrees today, february, and we got to see an otter, a red panda, and pallas cats more active than ive ever seen them before. We always enjoy the Red River Zoo.

Scott Beckstead

Adorable small zoo. Nice selection of animals and fun to see. For the mission of this zoo, their animals appear to be happy, healthy and have plenty of room. There also appears to be plenty of handlers on site to keep them taken care of. Would definitely recommend this zoo to anyone who enjoys animals and doesn't mind the small setting.

RICHARD FROHLICH

Our whole family enjoyed this place! The animals were varied and interesting, the staff were well informed and helpful and the kids loved the merry-go-round!

Sam D. Omdahl

We live this zoo so much. Just the right size to do I'm a few hours!

m haagenstad

The kids have fun every time we go to the zoo. They might have a limited number of animals but it’s fun regardless.

David Roberts

I love this place immensely! It's open all year, and, although some animals aren't as active during opening hours, there's always stuff to do!

Jamie Deuel

Graet zoo! Has a lot to offer for all ages despite it's small size.

Justin Hubert

Awesome experience and well priced! Definitely will be back after the remodel is done and year after year!

Jamie Kiecker

Great facility

Michelle Walker

Nice place, the best part for us was feeding the ducks and geese that aren't even "zoo animals" they just land there to get food haha

Julie Brantley

Went to the event Holiday Nights. My five year old had a blast. His favorite parts were the feeding animals section, free carousel ride, and the s'mores station. The lit up paths and decorations were lovely and it was great weather on the 28th to attend.

Robert Mcclure

This is a very small zoo. Clean, but the enclosures are small for many of the animals. Had a super nice Carousel and play area for younger kids.

Mike Lothspeich

Great little zoo, very reasonable

Matt Mogensen

This zoo has really stepped up the last few years. Not too large that you feel uncomfortable letting your kid out of sight. Friendly volunteers there to answer questions. I really love the PA announcements of live feedings and quick q&a sessions. The new kids area is really cool and had a small gift shop. There's a refreshment stand and a carousel too! The carousel kinda goes fast so make sure you are there to hold any small child that wants to ride. Best deal is the membership. You get access to other zoos and lots of deals and special events.

Shannon Oakland

Its okay there are some animals i just wanted more that why this ends early have fun if you want to go bye!!!!!!!!

Len Davis

My two girlies love walking around, seeing the animals and riding the carousel!

A

Such a great little zoo on the grow! Can't wait to see what they add on next!!

Just John

Wonderful Zoo even though small, especially for young children

Amandas Pandas

A nice little zoo with some fun animals. The kids liked "Sid the sloth" (they named him), and the bald eagle on his perch. Their favorite was the tractor cab and feeding the cows and goats.

Myra Mcculloch

I had the opportunity to have my wedding at the RRZ this last weekend. Everything was seriously incredible. Not only was Sara incredibly easy to work with and always answered my questions (no matter how odd they may have seemed) but all of my family told me how easy the entire staff was to work with the day before and the day of. We could not have asked for a better experience and we are so excited to be back to visit on less busy days.

Sandi Larson

Small zoo but kids has fun.

R Emerick

Super fun for the family! My daughter loved feeding the animals and watching the otters play.

Kelly Palensky

Fantastic place to go to see some beautiful wildlife. Great for kids

Elaine Mitzel

The Red Panda looked like he was going to fall out of the tree and I couldn’t help him. I haven’t seen him since. I fear the worst.

Derek W

A cute and tidy little zoo right in the middle of Fargo. Check out the red pandas and wolf cabin, and ride the carousel.

S. H.

Small zoo but n8ce layout, perfect for little children

SteveR

Great little zoo with some endangered animals and information about why they are threatened or endangered and how the zoo is helping.

Gary Erickson

So much to see. Beautiful zoo and well kept

Alisha Stevens

I wasn't too impressed honestly, had more fun making fun of the place than anything else but still was first I've even been too a zoo, my older brother as well so I still enjoyed the experience on some level

Brianna Jones

We had my (our) son Daxton's birthday here on a Saturday afternoon. The initial contact regarding having the birthday there, was met with professional and happy staff. I dealt mostly with Mason, who was always available to answer my bazillion questions ha! I was able to bring my own food, the zoo had a wonderful cake as part of there package. As well as punch,cups,plates,forks,napkins and table covers! Certainly saves time having to get all of that n set up! The kids had unlimited carousel rides, the opportunity to have a zoo docent show them 2 critters up close(a turtle and blue tongued skank)while giving them some education on each and allowing them to ask questions too! Also, the birthday included zoo admission, so the kids were able to wonder around and see some of our cold weather animals:) It was a great experience. No complaints whatsoever!

Hayley Oye

My kidos loved it and feeding goats was my fav part.

Eunice Jahn

Could use more animals but enjoyed going there.

Lois Kriegh

Loved this place! My boyfriend and I both went for the first time today. The pallas cats are soo cool! Everything there was awesome

Angela Retzer

Most underrated zoo of all time. Has the best animals and the workers truly care about their jobs

Jimmy Goodroad

This is a great zoo; lots of variety and play areas for the kids.

Taylor Evjen

This is a super great place to take your family. Fun to learn about different animals than are typically at most zoos. I’m excited to see it grow and see the different animals they will get. Also they do many fun events that give parents a chance to take an evening off. Also Red Pandas are too cute!

Phil Hastings

Didn't realize how big it was. Amazing exhibits, they all have water features. And rare animals that are all so happy. Great zoo!!!!

Barbara Coeterier

Its a very small zoo. They are expanding though. Good place to bring the kids.

Corinna Knecht

This is a charming little zoo that is great for young families who want to expose their children to animals for the first time

Jackson Lange

This was our first time at a zoo with our toddler, and she loved it!

Kelli Dockter

Fun afternoon, good snacks. Friendly staff

Tricia Yaw Magee

It was decent but I wish there were more animals

Marco Reyes

Fun zoo!! Friendly staff!!

Pamela Stemmerman

Great little zoo to bring the youngins! The facility is well kept and the staff is very friendly! Follow them on facebook to see some of the great events they host, many are free and the kids love it! Can't beat a free event at the zoo when you want to take the kids out for a day!

Zachary Pedersen

I'm a little sad a city the size of Fargo doesn't have a zoo or rescue habitat worthy of its size. This one is small,its a good size for the children younger than seven. Any older than that the children will boor easily.

sue starkenburg

A small but very nice Zoo. Some of my favorites included the Wolves, the red panda and a very interesting cat from the cat family.

Tim McDaniels

Very nice but small zoo!

Mary Bauer

Awesome little zoo grandchildren loved it.

Donna Schmitt

One of my most favorite places in the FM area! The animals seem happy and healthy! The staff and volunteers are quite knowledgeable!

Peter Field

Going to end up getting the membership . worker's are very helpful and friendly

Delpha Haugrud

RRZ has a wide array of animals, that will delight you're young ones! Purchase your membership and enjoy these great animals all year long!

Christy Mcghghy

Small zoo. Staff was unfriendly when I visited.

Arveity Setty

Great way to spend an afternoon. Just enough to see and do. Fun exhibits and the kids love the carousel!

John Kirsch

New exhibits. Great size zoo with lots of animals for kiddos to see!

Kimberly Georgeson

We had such a wonderful time at the zoo! It is one of the first places I've ever been to that had a place where I could comfortably nurse my little one. The fact that they thought of nursing moms meant the world to me. And the entire park is very baby friendly. We had a blast taking Saya around to every exhibit. We will definitely be returning. This place is a must see, even if you live in Fargo. ❤️

Margery Oliveira

The red river zoo is a nice place to go, but the animal selection is limited. I was hoping to see some big cat exhibits like lions or tigers. The main attraction was the red panda, which wasn't quite as exciting. Also, the wolves were a cool exhibit, but they were not very active, which wasn't that great. I'd like to set them at dusk when they're active, or see them while the staff feeds them, if they do that during business hours.

Vicki Rice

This is such a great place to go with a family. It is small, but not too small. The carousel is a great place to warm up when it is cold or cool down when it is hot. They have some great events throughout the year and an annual family membership is only a little bit more than family admission. Plus, they will let you use your admission to pay for your membership if you decide to become a member halfway through your visit.

Kristen McQuisky

Small enclosures for animals. You can feed the animals in multiple exhibits, but it costs extra (25 cents). Carousel in the middle of the zoo also costs extra.

Nathan Haseleu

Great zoo! You can get up close which is nice. Would definitely return!

C K

This is an awesome gem for the F-M community. Great facility, friendly staff, way more than I expected

siyanie Taylor

Wish the funding matched the city size, because it hasn’t grown at the rate the metro has in the past years. Animals change but not the exhibits,

Melissa Warfield

Very little going on here. Somewhat good for families but hardly any animals to view and some looked malnourished. The Red Panda seems to be the one good one.

Cheryl Ranum

Love the walking atmosphere of this zoo. Open, inviting. My grandkids loved it!

Alexander Keeler

Friendly staff and such sweet animals. Great exhibits as well

Robert Tejes

The behind-the-scenes red panda encounter is a must for anyone who loves red pandas. Marcy and team were great and gave us the opportunity to meet and interact with three of the pandas for an enjoyable, informative and unhurried experience. We've done red pandas encounters at two other zoos, and this was the best one by far. One of the staffers also helped us find a pair of sunglasses we lost in the zoo, which was very much appreciated.

Wendy Mcmullen

It's a nice zoo. They have a very large cow there and she just wants love and affection. I would say that if you do go that it be a requirement to call her a good cow. She's earned it

Lauren Ahrenholz

Unique animals and friendly staff. We are proud members of the zoo. Animals are from areas that have similar climate to our region so there is activity year round.

Jay Borgen

Super nice and I absolutely love they have a place for nursing mothers to have privacy ????

Davis Eslinger

This is the worst zoo I have ever seen! They have none of the regular zoo animals and what they do have are so depressed looking. The Eagle was the worst, sitting on his perch with clipped wings! Just awful! And the $10 price per adult is robbery! Shame on the Red River Zoo!

Jason Prosje

Wonderful. Nice staff. Clean. Interesting. Definitely worth going.

Nathan Lewis

Beautiful setting. Great place to spend the day no matter your age.

Madison Dirkes

Not a bad place to visit with the kids. If your kids are older they might be a little bored. But my family really enjoyed it

smokinoldgold

Nice little zoo. The kids love it and the animals are always visible. Most recently went in late November and there was still plenty to see and do.

Marie Copenhaver

Great Zoo !! They really care about the animals well being !❤❤????

Hu Woo

It was a great stop for our children on our way through town.

Elias Entz

Wonderful place to spend with little ones

Jessica Larson

Love the Zoo! Lots of great animals. Fun and relaxing place to visit often!

Peter Marsh

Wait time

Jennifer Lies

We love going to this zoo every year.

Jessica Eve Bous

My daughter and I loved seeing all the animals there.

M Gilmore

On the small side but super cute. Well maintained.

John Mathewson (NewbZauce)

This is a gem of a zoo. I don't think many people in the area realise what a great zoo this is. The zoo is concentrating on animals that can survive our harsh winters. If you have a few hours this would be a great place spend that time. They have all the other amenities, food and a gift shop, that make the visit pleasant.

Leisajo Mondry

Love the Red River Zoo! The zoo has an accreditation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. The zoo is home to 600 animals that represents 89 species. Beautiful zoo and well laid out. Please stop in to see the animals at the Red River Zoo. They're waiting to see you!

Kevin Schmidt

What a treasure, so close to town! We spent several hours exploring, indoors and out. I would recommend

Andrew Oliver

They have great events here. They also take good care of their animals.

Abdirizak Ahmed

Even in the cooler Fall, it's a nice place for a visit. The animals are more active in the cooler months also.

B Johnson

No wait

Brian Webb

Fun for the whole family!

Connie Jacobson

My daughter loves the zoo, And we can never leave without a ride on the awesome Carousel €:}

Kress Germundson

Pretty small zoo but fun to see the cute animals in a crazy Covid-19 time

Christopher Sundahl

Nice quick zoo trip start to finish 45 minutes.

Avery “h3110107” Brillinger

Fun place to go & enjoy seeing zoo animals.

Maggie Stende

Love the zoo!!! So happy for the free event so we could bring our little girls to see all the animals :)

Mohammed Shalan

Fun small place for kids

Amanda Oehmen

Small zoo. What they had was nice.

Bamm Bamm

We go here a few times a year. It's ok for a small zoo and the kids enjoy it. Wish they had more animals besides the same ones we see in the great outdoors everyday. (Deer, groundhogs, birds, wolves). We come from Wyoming so these animals are common wood land creatures for us.

seth cook

Not sure

Alex Rebman

Fun way to spend an afternoon. Many different animals on display

Lucy Granroth

I love the red River zoo! It's more affordable than going to a movie and I always have a good time.

Jae Dewald

Its great for little kids. They could be so much more.

Amanda Schultz

It's nice and clean. There are some nice exhibits for sure. Just smaller then I expected for Fargo being the biggest city. Not many bigger animals. No monkeys, no lions or tigers or bears. Nice petting zoo though and the play areas are nice. It just need to grow with the city. It just need more animals and it would be perfect. All in all a nice day trip for younger kids. For sur more of a young child type of zoo. My kids enjoyed it I do like that u can get a membership and use it at other zoos all over.

ReverendTrance

It's a young Zoo but they're getting better I particularly like the otters

treeth Neumann

It's ok to visit once!

Paula Roberts

There's tons of stuff to do here aside from the animals. Two playgrounds, a carousel, concessions, small gardens to walk through. The habitats are great and kept up with. The whole zoo is very clean! Definitely recommend!

Mike Olson

Lot of fun for the kids need more reptiles

Marie Minner

How can you not love the otters?

Michael Erlandson

Wait time

Darrin Hawley

This was an unexpected stop for us and I'm so glad we did stop! There were endless things to see. The buildings were fun to look in and see the history of his people use to live. Tiny houses for large families all the way to 'mansions' with …

Paul Lunger

Grandkids love this zoo and always run to their favorite exhibits. Had so much fun on the carousel. The attendant was kind and engaging.

John Ell

Fun fine small zoo with nice shelter locations for the animals. A very nice walk and popular with families. Clean. Notice the Tiger-painted front of their iconic entrance buffalo statue. Easy parking.

Aaron Manley

A good zoo, though I had hoped it would be bigger or at least closer to Bismarck size. For its size they have some nice exhibits, I was hoping there would be more personalized information on each one, or at least the store of the Ravens and how they came to the zoo. It’s so surprising that their breeding program for the Red Pandas is so successful, but I’m glad that it is. It could definitely use a bigger gift shop and I wish the penny press would have been somewhere more accessible just because I personally collect them.

Games, Cards, And More.

The wife and I took 2 of our grandsons to the zoo. We had fun even though it was very hot out. Because it was hot, a lot of the animals were under cover. Surprisingly we saw quite a few animals thar are normally nocturnal. It was a fun way to spend a couple of hours.

Ian Komorowski

Fun zoo but very small.

Brian T

Wonderful zoo that has a fantastic variety of unique animals. Small but feels big

Janet Jones

My experience was that it was a clean zoo that is great for family and kids. Having a membership makes it perfect for about a 1 hour walk through and a fun variety of animals for the size of zoo.

Angel Yordt

Price for adult entry

Colleen Casale

No wait

Sebastian Michaelis

It was a beautiful Zoo

mary koch

Very nice very clean zoo! Not overly big but good size for kids. Lots of activities and different types of animals to see. Very informative.

Donna

I really like taking my daughter to here she has lots of fun

Brit B

A nice small zoo. Much bigger on the inside than it looks and there are plans to expand onto it. Worth a visit if you're in town.

James Hoff

It was a nice clean Zoo still early in the year not very many animals will there's a lot but not much kind of a small place for the price

Doris Sorensen

Inexpensive and very clean good educational way to spend time with kids

Michelle Aslagson-Klimek

Absolutely love visiting here! My kids love learning about all of the animals. I love the "scenic trail" feel to the zoo. Very natural feeling. Animals always seem happy and content. There is a Mommy Pod for nursing mothers, which I have very much appreciated. The event days are a blast. Always very interactive for kids of all ages. The otters are definitely a family favorite! The food and drink stand is fairly priced, not extremely over priced like large zoos. Lots of benches and seating scattered throughout for resting tiny feet. The playground is awesome. When my daughter took a little tumble and employee ran over to help us and walked with us to a bench (she just got a small scrape, got more scared than anything). They even popped back by a few minutes later to make sure she was ok and told us to let them know if she needed a bandaid, ice pack or anything. We buy a family membership every year!

kevin raynard

It was so fun with the kids

Lootz

Loved it!!!! A lot of the animals seemed sad though. You guys should run a present donation drive for them, I would contribute!!!

Cathy Brown

I grew up going to this zoo and now take my children. The amount this zoo has expanded is great. So if you havent seen it in a few years I reccomend going again.

Chey Dyna

It's enjoyable and a great place for return visits with the cost of admission.
