Will go later in the season when more animals are out. They hade an Easter Egg hunt and were very friendly. It appeared to be a very clean zoo. The park surrounding was amazing!

If your looking for a place to bring the grand kids for the afternoon. This is the place. We had a great time and also took a ride on the train.

We were not impressed. The animals enclosures are way to small. My daughter left in tears because of the bears who were crammed into small cages with cement floors.

I have given this a very good mainly because it is a fun, safe destination to take young kids to and is set in an amazing park: Forest Park is extensive and has a lot of interesting areas to explore with play areas, duck pond, sports fields, tennis, picnic areas etc. I would recommend spending a day at the park, with a picnic and then visiting the zoo when you are there. Alternatively you can drive there for an afternoon or a couple of hours. The zoo is quite small but for me it's the right size for young kids. For reference, it took us a couple of hours to walk around looking at the animals before the kids got restless, and by then we had finished seeing everything.The zoo has a good range of animals including camels, monkeys, bears, bobcats, leopards, alligators, ponies, lemurs, parrots, rabbits, goats, pigs etc. You can feed the goats and other animals whose pens are connected to the barn. You can buy food for a quarter in the barn. It's not too expensive to get into the zoo either and fewer than 5s are free. You can buy a ticket for the park train when you buy your zoo entry ticket. It's a small 'train' that drives around the area of the park near the zoo and is something else to entertain the kids.There are toilet facilities before you go into the zoo.

The Forest Park Zoo is located in Springfield, Ma. inside the Forest Park. We arrived in light drizzle, a bit disappointing, but took our granddaughter inside anyway. She got a kick out of the animals in natural enclosures, she particularly enjoyed the wallabys and peacock, who proudly showed us his feathers! We even purchased a large peacock feather in the cute gift shop as a souvenir of our visit. The zoo can be seen in an hour, a picnic lunch can be enjoyed (if weather cooperates) and the Forest Park walkways are beautiful to take in the sights of the lake and surrounding gardens. Everything was well-kept up and we enjoyed our visit.

We had a great time visiting all the animals. Lots of different kinds that you don't always see. You could get very close to the animals for a good look and all the kids could see. There were even babies that were born at the zoo. Very cute and the park itself has more to offer... gardens, playgrounds, a splash pad and pool. Not sure about fees for that. But there was a little train that takes you around the grounds. A bit pricey...$4 per person..

I like to ride my Trike thru the park, it is usually quiet but at times like on the weekends you have a lot of pickiners children running around. I prefer the other side of the park in the old days Hippie Hill my girl and I like to walk along the brook and feed the fish. I have seen deer turkeys and other wildlife still around there.

It amazed me they had so much crammed into one part of the park and then had numerous empty pins. It was more like a petting zoo on steriods. Not worth visiting.

Is really nice to have this type of places in the middle of the cities, that people can go and have a great time with their young ones. Yes it needs a little more attention with the enclosures for some of the animals, like the bird cage for the owls. They need to stretch their wings, this was the only part I didn't like, everything else was ok.

Nice little zoo, perfect for families with toddlers, just the right amount of animals and space for their little legs. Nice staff. Also a plus is the park the zoo is surrounded by. It has a water park, and a few nice play areas for the kids.
