What visitors say
Had a great time visiting the zoo, some great exhibits… but unfortunately a lot of them were empty with no explanation as to why.
Nice getaway in Evansville, has penguins, aviary feeding, Giraffe feeding, zebra, and different animals from continents like asia: Single horned Rhino from Nepal, Sumatran Tiger, deers. Macaw, red panda, otter and you can pet some of…
Lots of construction in addition to the COVID pathway adjustments, but overall it was still pretty good for a spur of the moment trip. Not as good as Indy Zoo, but considerably closer to us. 30-minute time slot, pre-purchased tickets…
