alexandria zoological park

I had a wonderful time. It's a nice little zoo. Perfect place to go on a pretty day. I love visiting all the animals.

there's plenty to see here including a Louisiana section. most of the animals looked relatively content and not especially stressed (the white tiger did a lot of pacing). due to cold some animals were inside and according to one attendant the lion is young, afraid of "everything", doesn't like people, and the tigers are very, very young and like to hide in their "boxes". no elephants, giraffes and the like, but different type monkeys, SA rodents. and...lots of bird species from SA and NA.all in all not too bad and the price reasonable. happy trails.

Love this zoo but after the deaths of the monkeys during a freeze the zookeeper should have been fired!

The zoo was a wonderful experience! Most of the animals were out and moving around to be seen. I really enjoyed the baby tigers that they had at that time. That and the white tigers were my favorites! There were not a lot of people there that morning so it wasn't very crowded. It was a very peaceful experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys going to zoos!!

Quality of animals is excellent for this well managed zoo. Good variety and seperate exhibits are unique and well planned. Nice place to spend the day..There is even a train ride for all to enjoy

great place to take your kids. The zoo is very clean and food is great..The animals are well maintained. I have gone at Christmas as well as Halloween for ZooBoo.

I don't have much negative to say except that that staff isn't too friendly, BUT the animals look to be healthy and well taken care of. The zoo is decent price range so anyone can afford to come here and for the price, it's a large zoo. It's amazing that they are able to keep the price so low. People forget how much it costs to feed these animals.

This was a great little zoo enclosures were well maintained and clean. Most importantly the animals looked healthy and well cared for almost seemed happy. One of the best small zoo's I have been too. The staff was friendly and spoke with us but watching them interact with the animals was awesome everyone seemed to genuinely love the animals. I would definitely recommend a visit to anyone.

The Alexandria Zoo was a very pleasant adventure. We were very impressed by the habitats. The zoo was very easy to navigate. Saw several animals that we have never seen before.. Including GIANT ANTEATER, Fennick Fox , and the Golden Lion Tamarin

The Zoo has a big selection of animals. they also have a train tour and a gift shop. The Zoo is very clean and organized.

You would expect to find a zoological park of this caliber in a large city, but no it is right here in small city of Alexandria. the landscaping and variety of animals is outstanding. The park is very well maintained and offers numerous social events throughout the year. My family and I have been members for over 20 years. Whether visiting or new to the area make a point to spend some time here. It is well worth it.

Visited zoos all over and this one is tops. Animals are well kept and healthy. Would like to see them expand to larger animals.

Hubby and I often visit zoos in the cities we visit and were glad that GM Chris Patel at the Comfort Suites recommended we not miss the one on Alexandria. We're glad we took his advice. Although not the largest we've been to by far, we very much enjoyed our visit and think you will too. We really enjoyed how the naturalistic Cajun Bayou look and the winding, wandering, shady paths. The leopards were our favorite and I loved seeing the giant anteater. Keep in mind this isn't a big zoo. They do have about 500 animals and lots to see with the tigers and lions being the biggest, but don't expect elephants, giraffes, hippos, rhinos, great apes. I think you'll be happy with the alligators, caimans, bears, eagles, owls, snakes, fish, tapirs, cabybara, giant tortises, etc. $7 admission, free parking.

very wide range of animals and habitat for the size of town and zoo. well maintained, well staffed, animals in great shape.

My experience with the zoo was very rewarding to my grandkids and myself. The exhibits and animals was a delight for my grandkids. Easy access to area staff was great and we can't forget the train ride it was awesome.
