This zoo started out as a private family zoo but has expanded to a full service zoo. Admission is very reasonable and the zoo is small enough to be able to make it through the entire zoo in a day. Great selection of common zoo animals and occasionally a traveling exhibit like white tigers.
My fiancé and I went on a weekday last year and had a great time. The monkeys and penguins interacted with us and seeing the elephants and lions so close was awesome. I've been to bigger zoos with more animals but this was my best experience at a zoo so far
I was seriously impressed with this zoo. We went on a cool day and it was pretty empty. I think we picked the perfect time! One of the best things for me was that the animals seemed to be happy, clean and well fed. The set up is nice and much of the place has been revamped recently. It was a very nice visit for my young daughters, teen nephew and some varying-aged adults. The price seemed steep but once inside I was satisfied with the value. The outdoor dining area was pretty cool in that it overlooked an African Safari-like setting with giraffes and zebras playing in the panoramic view from the tables. I would visit again.
Been going to Caldwell Zoo for 50 plus years since it was free to get in. No longer free but worth the trip when in Tyler!
My grandkids love visiting this zoo. It is small but well worth it!Our favorites are the elephants and giraffes.
Caldwell Zoo rivals any zoo you'll ever visit in a town this size. Very impressive displays and exhibits. The bird walkabout was a favorite, and also the otters. The price for one visit for a family of four seems a little high to me, but the best deal is an annual family pass.
I've taken my two grandchildren to the Caldwell zoo multiple times. It's just large enough to have a great offering but not so large that you can't enjoy the entire park.
I do not like zoos. I think of animal prison. I sure do hope that the animals think we are funny with our antics. This zoo seems to give the animals a decent amount of space and it's clean. If you or anyone in your group likes zoos, this is an excellent one.
This is really a great, clean, fun zoo for a small city. We always like coming here. Highly recommend it.
This was a great Zoo. Beautiful birds, a white tiger, and the animals were out and about, even in January. We got tons of great pics with the kids, who had a blast. Definitely worth the $!
