John Ball has always been a small zoo, but it's also been a well maintained zoo. Recently, they expanded into a previously unused lot of land and that new area is really nice. I'll admit, I'm rarely ever pleased to see animals in cages, but I can at least respect the conservancy this organization tries to do. It's a fun place for kids, especially their Halloween festivities.

Park on Grand Rapids near west side, featuring multiple playgrounds, band shell, turn of the century pavilion, and spectacular zoo. Condition of some areas of park are in a state of decline. Zoo is gem. Well worth a visit. Free parking. Modest admission charge at zoo

Who doesn't love a zoo. Unfortunately it was later in the year and some animals were gone for the season. We came for boo in the zoo and my kids loved it. They had a great time and we would definitely come back.

This was our favorite Zoo ever! The animal enclosures are part of the natural terrain and blend in very well. Animals have needed space, a terrain suited for the animal and well carried for. You feel a part of it all! We watched the feeding of the bears which was fantastic! Strawberries and grain pellets and very friendly staff. All ages in our family from 1 yr old to 65 ... and all of us had a GREAT time! We will visit again!

My family spent a day here recently... it had been years since I have been! So glad we did! I love all the new features they have! Staff was great! I liked they had plenty of restrooms spread out all over! What a help with a little one!!! The prices were fair, and we had a great time!
