We visited the KC Zoo over Thanksgiving break and we had such a great time! The weather was gorgeous as well. Our daughter loved walking around and seeing the animals. Surprisingly, most of the animals were out and active so we got good views! There was also a very entertaining bird show that we would highly recommend! Lots of fun learning about some of the birds they have. And the birds fly right over your head too! The sky lift over the Safari section was relaxing and a new experience for our daughter (which she loved as well). Would not mind visiting the zoo again!

Visiting from the Wichita, KS area and I like to see local zoos. Of course, most of the zoos outdoor exhibits aren't available in the cold weather, but the zoo staff was helpful with giving suggestions as to what to see. We ran into two of the snake handlers and had a nice chat about the snakes. The sea lion show was fun, and thankfully shortened for the cold weather. The facilities were clean and in good repair. I wasn't expecting it, but it was a nice surprise that the cost for entry was reduced to $10 per person due to the cold weather and overall lack of outdoor exhibits.

Definitely a zoo worth visiting, even in the winter. Friendly staff, interesting exhibit, and the ability to get really close to most animals is great.

Great Zoo visit. Due to the weather quite a few of the animals were off display. There were some areas under construction but no signs as to what the projects were going to be. The sidewalks and roads could eventually be resurfaced to give it a new look. There were a couple of paths that walked you through trees and some of the old dead tree branches could use some trimming before they fall on someone. Today was very windy and you could hear a few branches cracking lightly. The staff was amazing and energetic!!! The animals look like they have great care. Overall great zoo!

Such a great zoo!  Free range kangaroos are hard to beat. It can be an easy two to three hours of your day if you enjoy everything. Prices are reasonable as well, so it's not a burden to go with friends. Stop by the gift center and get something to support the animals :)
