I would recommend getting their tickets online. Pretty spacious parking lot and typically not that crowded. Kids would enjoy. There are quite some unique animals over there like tortoises, peacock and peahens, Red Pandas, Giraffes, ant eater, commodo dragon, chimpanzee, camel, goats and a train. Feeding Giraffe and farm train within the zoo is additional and per person charge for those are $5. Pretty much you could spend close to 2-2.5hrs out there.

The zoo was under construction when we visited but we had a great time.the zoo wasn't that big as in square feet. However, the number of and variety of animals was HUGE! The staff were all super nice and there wasn't alot of walking required. I'm a veteran so I got in free and my son was half price we were actually surprised by all the cool animals and the whole atmosphere was very enjoyable. The giraffes were our favorite. The carousel was fun too.

Visited this weekend, we arrived around 9:45am-10am. They do wheel chair rentals in the gift shops for $10. When you first enter they are under construction for a new exhibit I believe, but other than that they have very interesting animals. I had a great time with my family and you can pet the goats too! Prices were good if you do online tickets are $14.95!

Wow 🤩What a beautiful Zoo.Special pricing -$19ppI LOVE animals & any opportunity to sew them I’m taking it. It was packed & all parking lots were full but they offered a shuttle service that brought you over to the park.I didn’t interact with staff much but the few I did come in contact with were nice & pleasantThe animal enclosures were beautiful & the animals are very well cared for, except for the Capybara he looked a little sad 😞We did the giraffe 🦒feeding -$5 ppI’ll definitely be back if ever in the area again. ❤️

Excellent zoo with a unique variety of animals and reptiles to view. There were some neat birds as well.It was well maintained, all the animals had good enclosures and seemed content.Fun things for older kids as well as younger kids. The gift shop was great. We didn’t eat at the restaurant, but it looked good.If you’re in the area definitely check out the zoo!

My friend and I went to the zoo for the second year in a row during the Asian Lantern Festival. This year it was bigger and better! Though the animals aren't really on display, the dozens of Asian and animal themed lanterns make it worth the trip. You may catch a glimpse of a few animals but most are sleeping or pulled off display for the night and the lights in exhibits are off. This year the pathway through the lanterns was better directed and there were more varied lanterns, and more Asian themed, like the Chinese Zodiac. There was also a pop-up dance display with a cellist that started at one area and moved through the zoo. The only disappointment was a small cup of hot chocolate for $6.50, which I did not get. The bathroom was also cold with a dirty, overflowing stall, which was blocked off. It is nice to see the zoo expanding and updating their exhibits to give their animals better room and care. I also like that they offer a lot of various activities outside of regular zoo admission and I've been to a few including the Lantern Festival and the Beastly Feast. Can't wait for the next exciting program!

Can't review the zoo on the animals, due to I've only been there for the Asian Lantern Festival (I'll come back for the animals later). The latern Festival was very well laid out and had lots of lanterns; many even were animated. The staff there was very friendly and helpful. The hot cocoa was pretty tasty and warmed us up on a cool night. The various interactive areas were cool to experience and the kids loved the whole experience as well. Highly suggested.

We went for the Asian lantern festival and it was pretty cool! Definitely worth checking out! We purchased our tickets ahead of time online and picked which time slot we wanted. It was a very easy process and a great experience! While there we got a hot chocolate & pretzel, both were good but pretty pricy. For me it was something you see once, but I probably wouldn’t go back again for a couple of years. Definitely worth checking out though & it seemed like they had a decent amount of things for kids too!

Nice small zoo, perfect for a leisurely stroll to check out some animals and just enjoy a day out and about. It doesn't take long to go through the entire zoo so make sure you take it slow and enjoy each of the animals to the fullest. We played with the Tamarin for quite awhile, they were very entertaining and interactive. The giraffes are the main attraction and they know it! They prance around and show off, not camera shy at all! The grounds are well maintained and the enclosures are adequate size for the animals comfort. They all seemed content and healthy in their environment. We visited the zoo back in April and there were several signs and promises of things to come so we'll be back when we return to the area. The only issue is the staff, they seem very disinterested in any of the visitors or their job in general. They didn't affect our visit, we enjoyed ourselves despite their attitudes but they definitely didn't enhance our visit.

We got season pass (a little pricey on wallet, but overall worth it especially if you dont 4get you bought them) the pass allows you to receive a ticket & yellow slip upon entry for carousel ride, so you won't have to show your proof every ride, and gives you discounts on other attractions, and events. Mom and I took my nephew and uncle and they had the best day ever, make sure to stop by the petting area, but don't be upset when there's no goat yoga , and try not to be tricked into buying a goat later after youve left the zoo, my nephew wants me to get him a goat to keep at his house after our trip to the zoo, he said they so cute!!!

We visited most recently for the Asian Lantern Festival which required tickets to be purchased in advance online. They are currently building a new habitat for giraffes that will be a large focal point near the entrance. The Lantern Festival has a clearly marked path to guide you through all of the lights. Ordinarily you can wander any direction you want to with signage directing you to specific exhibits. Some of the animals were still visible at night. There are places to stop and get snacks.

O boy the Zoo. As an uncle to two boys I spend a lot of time here and I have also volunteered here. The staff is awesome and it’s very clean. The exhibits and animals are fantastic. If you are here in Chattanooga and want a great family day don’t pass up the Zoo!Follow along on my adventures on instagram@gottalovett_photography

I’ll save you the trouble and upload pictures of everything you’ll see. Don’t bring a stroller unless you want to carry it up the stairs to see the indoor red panda exhibit. And if a sign says “exit only”, it’s guaranteed not to be the exit. Maybe it’s cool when it’s not under construction, but none of my kids enjoyed it. The only good thing about it is that it isn’t crowded…..with good reason. The children’s petting zoo goats are also amazing.

I’m sad to leave this review as I am not someone to ever leave negative reviews, but as a large family, I understand the need to know what you are getting into beforehand. We’ve been to several zoos across the southeast and this by far was the worst. There is a large construction zone right in the middle of the zoo, which I could usually overlook. MOST of the animals were hidden in enclosures. I know this seems beyond the zoos control, but you can’t have a zoo with no animals. We also saw a large pile of vomit that no one was tending to and the train attendant informed us that it was an extra $5 per person to ride and then gave the group behind us a free ride because they were her friends. I would not recommend this zoo. The aquarium is a much better bang for your buck.

Sweet surprise! This is a small zoo with great variety of animals. Something that caught my attention is how well taken care of this animals are, they look happy and healthy.We went right at 9 am when it opens and the personnel were feeding the animals and they were playing with them, so sweet!Nice gift shop with good prices. If you are in Chattanooga, this is a must see place.
