This zoo has come a long way. The exhibits are really impressive and they have a nice variety of animals. It is a nice way to spend the day, and the childrens zoo is so much fun for the kids...and adults too! I absolutely love the otter and penguins and the big cat exhibit is really something to see.

Our kids really enjoyed the zoo. It was clean, affordable and the animals looked healthy. We originally were going to take an Art walk put on by the arts council, but it was canceled for some reason and we opted for the zoo to keep the kids happy. Easy and affordable way to spend the afternoon.

The rating of "very good" based on recreational activities available for the family in the Pueblo area. The Zoo is small, but well laid out. I did see a number of animals I've not seen in other Zoos before and that was interesting. Winter admission is only $10 which is a good price for a smaller zoo. A full walk through the Zoo took me just over an hour. There is a good variety of animals in acceptably sized areas, although, there isn't really an abundance of animals around the Zoo. Based on the amount of trees, this would probably be a relaxing place to visit in the summer with plenty of shade. There appear to be plenty of activities for kids and City Park is next door. The Pueblo Zoo will likely not be the most impressive Zoo you've ever visited, but it is enjoyable, affordable and well laid out for an enjoyable visit.

Grand kids love to go to Pueblo Zoo when they are here. A lot of trees, places to set and eat a little something. They enjoy feeding the goats, ducks and geese. Also love to watch penguins playing. Near Christmas the have the electric critters to go walk through and see. I think they do a good job and try hard to keep adding new attractions.

I took my nephews to visit and we enjoyed ourselves, very much. Our favorite was the otters. Their exhibit is set up really nicely. Our only complaints, (the boys noticed this more than I did) was that some of the animals were the only one, of their species, in their exhibit. The one that tore at our hearts was the Meerkat. He (she?) was the only one in an enclosed space with a huge porcupine. The Meerkat was on top of one of the rocks, and he kept staring at us, like he was scared. It would be better if he had a "friend". All of the pictures and film clips that I've seen of these adorable animals, they're always in crowds of other Meerkats. That exhibit bothered us. Other than that, we enjoyed our visit, very much. I would recommend the zoo to anyone.

For a small zoo they have a lot of animals to see. It always amazes me the different animals they have. Nice place to take a couple hour break to walk around when traveling

This is a lovely manageable zoo, with a nice variety of animals. It is not huge, but it is a great way to spend an afternoon. They had a few animals that I'd never seen before (such as a Pallas cat) and all of the animals were very close. The animals seem quite happy, none of them paced. The zoo is flat, so it is very handicapped accessible. Plus, they have inexpensive wheelchair rentals. The gift shop is very reasonably priced.

Wide variety of wild exotic animals, with excellent descriptions of habitat, habits, feeding, camouflage, sizes, etc. Also beautiful park surroundings.

It was senior day so my hubby & I got in for free, can't beat that! We were quite impressed with the lush vegetation all around the zoo. It was a lot of fun, I always have to go to the zoo wherever we go, if they have one. Don't pass on seeing this zoo, you will enjoy it!

The Pueblo Zoo manages a small collection of animals in fairly spacious, well kept enclosures. The animals seem happy and well cared for. Over the years the zoo has made efforts to make upgrades to older facilities and occasionally add some very good exhibits. Highlights for us are the lions, gibbons, sun bear, penguins and river otters. The area around the lions, gibbons and sun bear are nicely landscaped with numerous shady benches.

This is a nice , small zoo. The price is good and you can usually find $2 off coupons easily. Also, if you have a pueblo library card, you can go to the library and reserve a zoo pass and get in free! This is the first zoo I've been to where the lions are able to come so close to the fence. Very intimidating but neat too. I will say that the grounds is in need of some weeding around the exhibits. Some of the exhibits have so much grass and weeds it is hard to see the animals.

Great shady zoo. The grounds are beautiful. It's not like bigger zoos like Denver or CO Springs, but as long as you keep that in mind it's a good place to spend an afternoon. There are a fair amount of animals that include some typical farm animals as well as many more exotic animals.

This is a small zoo but in a very beautiful setting. The price of admission is reasonable so it is a nice way to spend a few hours.

We really enjoyed this small zoo. They have a variety of animals and the zoo is shaded. We went in the morning on a weekday and their were hardly any people there.
