Brookfield Zoo

"Brookfield Zoo has become one of our favorite family spots, especially during the brutal winter months when you’re trying to figure out how to help a toddler burn off some energy without completely freezing outside. It’s such a fun mix of interactive, educational, and family-friendly. There’s always something exciting to see, and getting up close with animals like the giraffes and polar bears makes the visit feel extra special. What we really love is that it’s not just entertaining for little ones, but also a great learning experience. Our toddler gets to explore, stay curious, and see animals up close in a way that keeps the visit both fun and memorable. It’s one of those places where kids can move around, parents can enjoy the outing too, and everyone leaves happy and tired in the best way. Brookfield Zoo is definitely a great option for family outings, especially when the weather makes regular outdoor play a little more challenging. We always leave feeling like it was time well spent, and it’s become one of our favorite ways to make winter feel a little less long."

"Wonderful zoo! Can’t say enough about it. Large enclosures, enrichment for animals. The new gorilla and spider monkey exhibit is such a hit amongst visitors. You get up close to so many animals. Food and service was great! I’m going again as I did not get to see it all! Easy entrance and exit. Totally recommended!"

"Took the kids to Boo at the Zoo over the weekend and had an absolute blast. There was plenty of parking to go around. The bathrooms were accessible. The interior of the exhibits were quite warm so be prepared for that. And overall I think my only gripe would be the expensive low-grade food. Cheers!"

"I had a great time with my family walking around and enjoying seeing the animals. Food is pricy but only worth it from (Wild burger) that opens in the summer time. Wish they had more things to do and see in the fall going into spring. Didnt take alot of pictures, rather enjoy it with my eyes."

"A very nice and large zoo. Lots of different species of fish and animals, all of which are sought after. The grounds are huge. We couldn't see it all in 2.5 hours. So we'll definitely come back again. The only downside was that some of the enclosures didn't have enough exotic animals."
