We always love coming to this zoo it is always clean and the monorail is great on hot days to get around and see an aerial view of some of the enclosures. They always have a great variety of animals on display and in the farm area you get to see all kinds of Baby Animals often. So far my kids love coming here still and I'm sure that day will come when they no longer want to go to the zoo with their parents but until then we're gonna try and squeeze every trip we can in.
2. Como Park Zoo & Conservatory

4.5 based on 2,074 reviews
Located in historic Como Park, this popular zoo, especially known for its California sea lion exhibit, also features a great cat display, gorillas and giraffes.
Reviewed By Smiliemn - Saint Paul, United States
Como Park is always a great place to visit. I always enjoy walking through the conservatory and seeing what flowers are in the sunken garden or what’s currently flowering. The zoo is fun as well, although weekends in the summer get crowded. The seal harbor is currently under construction, so if you go soon, you won’t see the Sparky Show. It looks like it will be beautiful when the new Seal Harbor is finished so be sure to check it out!

On a cold rainy afternoon, in December, we decided to visit the Conservatory and a small part of the Zoo. We had a wonderful walk through the beautiful Conservatory and then had a walk through the Primate Building (amazing gorillas) and the African Hoofed Stock Building. This is a wonderful place to visit and it is FREE! Please remember to drop a donation at the entrance.
