It is well kept and maintained. Due to economic reasons you now have to pay. Feeding the giraffes was awesome.

Hard to believe this gem is in the middle of a neighborhood. The price is right and family friendly.

True, it is not the Milwaukee, Cincinnati or San Diego zoos, but for a smaller scale zoo, we loved it. My kids (10 & 5) and I purchased a Groupon and headed to the zoo. We were able to find free parking in the adjacent lot with no problem on a Sunday afternoon. The zoo is not huge, but manageable for a 2-3 hour visit. I was most impressed by the giraffe feeding. Most zoos want $10 or more to feed a few leaves to the giraffe. Here, we paid $4 per person and received crackers to feed the giraffe while the zookeeper answered questions. I was equally impressed by the Australian animals exhibit with the kangaroos. It was great! The train ride was adorable and for $2, it was worth it. Good process in the gift shop too. All employees were helpful. If you've never been there, go!

This is a small zoo with a nice mixture of animals but I really think the animal quarters should be cleaned up a bit better. I thought most of the animals looked bored in their enclosures. The small children's zoo was fine for little one's for they could get much closer to the baby animals. I think they charge a bit much for this zoo entrance fee should be lowered. If you don't feel like walking to much it would be just the place for you. Many nice picnic areas. The view of the lake is always nice.

It is very much a park setting in this zoo. A good variety of animals but nothing extensive. There is a large playground area toward the back (and another smaller one by the bird aviary) which my kids love. Its a good place to go for a day out with the kids. You can bring food and drink in, so we normally pack a lunch, bring the wagon, and spend some time wandering around, playing in the play areas, and have a picnic lunch at one of the many grassy areas with tables. Do not expect a large zoo for this one. But do expect a nice day outside with plenty of entertainment and fresh air for the kids (which makes mine sleep really well!). Admission prices are reasonable, but be on the lookout for coupons in the Racine magazine for a better deal.

Grandchildren (4 & 3) beg me to take them to the Racine Zoo every time they visit at least twice monthly! It is small enough for us all to enjoy without being exhausting and the animals are easily viewed. Getting to feed giraffes was the highlight during their last trip. The farm animal petting area is accessible to them for petting and brushing goats and sheep (sometimes baby pigs and ducks to only view also) which the children enjoy. The aviary is filled with colorful birds that will feed off sticks held in your hand. Both the sticks for the birds as well as "crackers" for feeding the giraffes are an additional small fee. Beautiful Lake Michigan views as well as cool breezes off the lake in the heat of the summer make it an enjoyable visit. The three baby lion cubs are now on display and usually quite playful to watch. Certainly not comparable to San Diego or Milwaukee zoos, but a great local zoo offering a nice selection of animals that are easy to see without walking miles.

Always a great place to visit with your children or grandchildren. There is an entry fee so call ahead for the details or check online. I grew up in Racine and the Zoo continued to grow and grow. I miss both the Racine and the Milwaukee Zoo's, but have acquired a taste now for our Zoo in Wichita, KS which is wonderful.

Not going to give you the idea that this is a major metropolis zoo, it is a dying remnant. It has some nice animals, probably better suited for younger kids who aren't looking for the massive display of a Milwaukee Zoo. Nice way to spend an afternoon, wish they didn't have to charge entry fee.

this small zoo has a very clean and a wide variety of animals that are well cared for and the grounds are maintained nice view of the lake. reasonably priced.
