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.

Great Option for a Cooler Day

Review of: Greater Vancouver Zoo

After a long heat wave, it was a treat to visit the ever-evolving zoo, which is more of a game farm. We arrived mid-morning and the crowds hadn't quite amassed yet. The animals often rest and hide during the hotter days, so with the cooler...More

Not very impressive!

Review of: Greater Vancouver Zoo

Surprised by the disrepair of the zoo facilities. Expensive admission + pay-parking makes for a very expensive outing with the family. The number of animals is surprisingly sparse, with many enclosures empty and not even maintained. The amenities (souvenir shop and refreshment area) are pitiful....More

Costly visit

Review of: Greater Vancouver Zoo

We visited the Zoo on July 23rd paying over $80.00 for one senior, one adult and two children. In addition it costs $6.00 to park your car. A bit of a money grab as I don't see what other form of transportation is available to...More

I can not comprehend how there are so many good reviews for the Vancouver Zoo. Perhaps with my visit to the Aquarium only 3 days before, my experience at the Zoo is hindered. First - none of the animals seem happy are engaged in any...More
