What visitors say
A must stop at the Como Zoo. It feels almost like you're stepping back in time. And transported to a jungle in one of the Mesozoic era periods. Plus its nice and warm so if the temp is below freezing it's a nice respite from the cold.
We had a wonderful warmth tropical experience in Minnesota here. So many tropical trees and those reptiles , fishes and a sloth. It's really a wonderful experience for us.
The kids love seeing the turtles, fish, birds, and all the tropical plants. This is a great place to come in the winter in Minnesota.
