Great time spent with the family! They were very helpful at the membership office and help us get the best package for the family. We got yearly passes because you truly get you moneys worth.
December 2017: Still one of my favorite tourist locations in the Birmingham area, but I can’t say I give my recommendation for the Zoo Light Safari. Most exhibits are closed, and not very many lights stand out beyond what you would see at a well-decorated house around Christmas. Save your money and go to the zoo during the daytime.
Nice Zoo they are constantly updating environments for the animals. Feeding times for the animals are around 10a and 4p. The animals are more active when it is cooler out. The zoo is also very clean, from inside the cages to outside of the cages, the walkways and the restrooms. The Cafe at the entrance has a good variety of food and snacks. I chose the veggie sub, it was delightful.
Original review: Enjoyable zoo experience. I highly recommend you don't go in June unless you love to sweat a lot.
The train ride during Boo at the Zoo was enjoyable viewing the creative animated pirate theme characters.
Always have enjoyed the zoo but was really disappointed with this year's "zoo light safari". You buy a ticket to get in but then you have to buy tickets for all of the activities.? The only activity we were really interested in was the train ride but the line was Way too long! The petting zoo was fun but we only got to spend 10 min inside before they asked us to leave because it was closing. I deff expected more
The only disappointed time we had was at the Red Diamond seal show which is at 10 and 2. About 30 adults and children waited for the 2p show and at 2p two female attendants came out from the wall and threw a couple of fish out to the seals and had one seal wave to the small crowd. The so called show was over in less than 10 minutes. No introduction, or information or anything was said over the PA system. I don't know how they can call that a show.
This zoo is pretty great. The family and I went about two hours before the zoo closed. We got to see almost all of the main attractions. The only reason we didn't was because we visited in the winter and some of the animals were in for the winter. The zoo was clean and the employees were friendly. Highly recommend.
