What visitors say
Rhinos, and tigers, and red pandas, oh my! This was my favorite area of the zoo. The animals have a lot of space and they were active.
Asia Quest at the Columbus Zoo is a bit mid. While the concept is interesting, the exhibits and animal enclosures don’t feel as immersive or engaging as some other parts of the zoo. It’s decent but doesn’t quite live up to the…
The Columbus Zoo is a GREAT ZOO, with GREAT people working there !! A team & family I want to be part of !! I had a great time in Asia Quest.
