WTF Vancouver Zoo is the worst I've been too.

Dirty facilities, understaffed, lack of amenities, all the animal enclosures are run down and tiny. All the animals look sad. Please don't waste your money, maybe they will get shut down or upgrade.

Lots to see

We took our two year old grandson and there was lots to do and see. Many interactive demonstrations. Lots of wildlife be prepared to walk. Take a good push chair for the little ones, mainly gravel . Six dollars for parking over and above admission.

A nice ride around the zoo

I took my bicycle around the zoo as it looked quite big on the map. Although it was coming into spring there were not many animals out and about. The price of entry didn't really seem fair for the lack of animals when I went....More
