Story

One of the last FREE zoos in the United States, Como is home to a wide array of animals and plants and welcomes visitors 365 days a year. Located right next to Como Town Amusement Park, Cafesjian's historic carousel, and Como Park, the Zoo and Conservatory are great fun for visitors of all ages.

Some of Como's main attractions include a world-class polar bear exhibit, Polar Bear Odyssey, which opened to the public in 2010. The exhibit is home to the zoo's twin polar bears Buzz and Neil and features over 13,000 square feet of outdoor habitat. The zoo is also home to a collection of large cats, hoofstock, wolves, birds, primates, gorillas, orangutans, seals and sea lions, and several other aquatic animals. The Marjorie McNeely Conservatory features six indoor gardens and several outdoor spaces, displaying thousands of beautiful plants each year.

Neat park to walk around. Lots of little discoveries and the size of the park allows multiple visits without revisiting the same places. The conservatory with the plants was breathtaking and had tons of little Easter eggs for you to discover in terms of an exotic plants and incredibly beautiful flowers. The zoo, too, was fairly substantial and extremely impressive for a free zoo. They ask for a three dollar donation per person which is definitely worthwhile. Highly recommend going. Safe and fun for the family!

Always a place to go, whether you've loved in Minnesota all your life or are just visiting. I actually care about the conservatory more than the animals. Gorgeous flowers, plants, trees, and exotics. Love to go exploring! You can go on for hours to look at everything there!

It's such a good place to bring the kiddos. They love seeing the tiger and the gorillas. There is a good mixture of animals to see and it's open year round. The polar bear exhibit is one of my favorite because he likes to swim back and forth and you get to watch him through underwater glass. Also a great location if you play Pokémon.

Como is a great small zoo. I been coming since I was a kid and now I bring my kids here. Its entrance fee is a donation which is great if you have kids because it doesn't cost you $XXX in admission when you may only get to stay 2 hours. They also have a great little theme park.

I love Como Park! The staff is very friendly. The place is free, but I always donate some money when I go there. The jungle area is refreshing in the winter time and the year round flowers and plants really brightens your day!
