Story

Open year round at 10am. The Utica Zoo creates unique experiences and promotes public appreciation of wildlife through education, conservation and recreation. Located in the Roscoe Conkling Park, the Utica Zoo was established in 1914 as part of a recreational complex made possible by the donation of land from Thomas R. Proctor. The Zoo had grown from its beginnings of three Fallow Deer donated by the New York Zoological Society to its present collection of 99 species of animals from around the world.

For the price this is a good deal but don't expect a lot if you have been to a big zoo before.  It's good for 3-4 hours max for most families with kids.  The animals appear well taken care of.  This is the closest I have been to a lion and the facilities are mostly well kept.  The landscaping has largely gone uncontrolled and the path ways are a bit rough, most are blacktop but the far trail is dirt and at times a steep path which they do warm you about.  The pavilion is new and they allow you to bring in food which is a major plus but you have to exit out through a narrow gift shop.

"So much fun for everyone at the Utica Zoo" 
Big things are happening there these days! We Have been buying family memberships for the last couple years- definitely worth it!  They do have VOSS at the zoo however they only except cash so keep that in mind. It would be nice if there were other food options in different locations throughout the zoo as they do have several seating areas. Can't wait to see all the upgrades!

Very inexpensive but wasn't worth it. There were few animals you could actually see. Most were asleep or "hiding", most looked very depressed. Saw a few with no water. Didnt look like there was much effort in upkeep either. Drove two hours for this. Disappointed. Really.

Absolutely love this zoo. It is small, but very intimate. I do not like big zoos as it becomes tiring and stressful to see everything. Quality over quantity!

It's a simple zoo. The kids enjoyed it. Glad we went. We would go again.
