Well run but sorry looking

Having lived in Vancouver for nearly 30 years, this is my first visit to the local zoo. While the zoo is in by well intentioned staff, the whole place looks dated and as though it had its heyday in another era. There are old fashioned...More

Pretty Run Down

Though they have some great animals to be seen, this zoo is not well maintained:( They have a lot of wire fences that make it hard to truly view some of the best animals. Unlike the Seattle or other zoos decently close that are in...More

Although we have visited the zoo many times before, this time we noticed some changes. The staff were dressed up for Halloween and very interactive with the visitors. There were some great details including blankets and hot cocoa for all to enjoy on the train!!...More

Quality time with teenager, not so quality cages

Enjoyed the 1:1 time with my teenage son including the train ride around the park. It is sad to see so many large animals in such small paddocks. The cougar cubs for example, or the caiman. Overall we enjoyed our walk around. Pricey entrance fee.
