Big disappointment. Run down and boring. Small selection of animals. Many not viewable because of their enclosures. Would not recommend.

This “zoo” is heartbreaking. The animal enclosures are so small. The animals looked sad. I don’t recommend this zoo and feel they should really consider rehoming the animals to a wildlife...

1st family trip in September 2022. This is a nice 11-acre North American wildlife refuge zoo. My family of 3 spent 2 hours in the zoo. It was leading up to closing time. We could have easily spent 2 1/2-3 hours to thoroughly see and appreciate all. So glad we got to visit Zoo America.

THE BEST ZOO I HAVE EVER BEEN TO SO FAR!!! They rescue all of the animals in the exhibits which is awesome. All of the animals are native to the north east regions so America and Canada. It was great really intimate experience because your literally up close to all the animals. Closest I’ve ever been to a lot of the types of animals I saw. I didn’t pay extra for the zoo because I got tickets for Hershey park for 49$ so that was cool. I would definitely recommend everyone to go. Once you know the animals are rescues it completely changes your perspective on place. It was heartfelt. Please do yourself the favor and visit this place at least once!!!!

It's a small zoo, but there are some very cool animals here. With all the other attractions around it's a cool stop to have on your agenda, but don't have it as your main attraction. Another great thing was we were able to use our zoo pass from the North Carolina zoo for a big discount.

01/21/2023 this zoo is open almost yr round. Its a smaller zoo with lots of interesting animals.. kids loved it and we were there for about 2 hrs. I cant remember how much it cost to get in but it was fun for the kids. No wait no lines felt like we were the only people in the zoo.

A small zoo featuring animals from all across North America. Ticket prices aren’t bad and they offer military discounts! This place is well kept and the facilities are clean. Would definitely recommend taking your kids here to see the animals!
