Great little zoo with lots to do for younger kidsPosted on ganga narenderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very Good place enjoyed well along with KidsPosted on Christina CavazosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Not crowded, up close and personal, fair prices!Posted on Sean WileyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nice little zoo, animal seemed well cared for, staff seemed enthusiastic, and everything was in good shape. most of the pins seem to be the traditional style. I gather most of their animals are rescues or retired show animals.Posted on Jeffrey WintersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It's fine if you have smaller kids as there are several playgrounds and a splash pad.Posted on Navin KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We had my son’s birthday party here and it went amazing! Jessica responded to emails quickly and everything went well without issues. The kids had a great time and my son will never forget it. Highly recommend!!Posted on Carrie RollTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I attended the Sharkarosa Zoo on a field trip, as a school bus driver. The thing I want to speak on the first is how INCREDIBLY kind the staff is, and how kid friendly their zoo is. They took great care in explaining the rules of the Zoo first, (to the group of first graders I transported), to be sure everyone had a good time, including the animals we were visiting. The staff was exceptionally kind to me, giving me a free admission as a school bus driver. I’m happy to say, the discount did not sway their level of professionalism - they answered all of my questions, and were just as kind to me as they were to their paying visitors. During the tour, we had our own private guide. An experience, I highly recommend investing in, as the price and the experience are well worth it! The Zoo hosts a lot of unique animals; capybara, bengal tiger, and a few celebrity animals as well that were known in show business. The grounds are covered in pebbles so a motorized wheel chair or scooter, is your best bet, if you have that need. They had an air conditioned cafeteria with a gift shop with some very awesome nicknacks, shirts, stuffed animals, magnets etc. While navigating the park, there were hand washing stations, and clear signage, as to what animals are touch friendly. There’s a splash pad and playground for the children as well. Feed can be purchased as you walk in, (and on a school bus driver salary, is what I would consider to be affordable)! As an animal lover, I would pick this zoo over larger zoo’s in the area. Having a private tour guide is a whole new experience for adults and children alike, and there’s just enough things here to wear the kids out and still have fun. TLDR?: Stop staring at your screen, pack up the car and take your family to Sharkarosa Zoo! 🦈🌹😎
