Good little zoo! Price is right for its size. Wish the gift shop was a little larger. Animal exhibits are great! Most animals were active when we were there. I would plan about an hour and a half depending on your...Read More

We visited on Friday 4/8/2022 - We arrived at the Zoo around 10:30 am. I did not have to wait long to purchase my ticket even though there was a small line. My daughter and I spent a good hour -...Read More

As someone who has frequented bigger zoos in the past, I think this zoo is quality for the price of entry and the size of the space available. Some of the enclosures need to be updated and the exhibit descriptions are better for children than...Read More

In full complete honestly this was the most well kept zoo I have ever visited. Every single exhibit had an animal. Normally when you go to zoos some animals will be gone for the winter or not in some of the cages or displays but...Read More

We loved our walk to the Zoo on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. When we entered, we had a fantastic staff member greet us to buy the tickets. The zoo was fun to walk through, and it was easy to see all the animals with viewing...Read More

Our zoo is small and undergoing a lot of renovations right now, so some exhibits are under construction. A new African section was just added for our Aldabra tortoises and new cape porcupines. We have Amur leopards, the rarest big cat in the world....Read More

We got free tickets and went here over Memorial weekend... it was sprinkling, so they weren't busy at all. It's a small zoo and doesn't take long to walk the whole thing. The gardens are beautiful and well taken care of and so are the...Read More

We picked the wrong day to visit! We arrived to find 8 elementary schools (and their parents) on a field trip. Very crowded. We couldn’t even go to the playground, not a square foot of area available. Also, why are the flamingos standing...Read More

Cute little zoo. It's a little over a mile to walk, exhibits are spaced out comfortably. Lots of "pit stops" for kids to play and interact along the way.Animals were very active and out in the viewing areas when we were there.The only exhibit that...Read More

Always a good time here. Small enough for little ones but still has exotic animals. Not to mention Cleveland park and the swamp rabbit trail right in the front yard. Tickets are fairly priced but the gift shop is pricey - still the money goes...Read More

Not a bad little zoo but it is small; they are doing a lot of construction so it looks like they may be expanding. They just added a leopard which was fun to see! Overall, it is great for little kids, maybe 8 and under,...Read More

We love the Greenville Zoo!! Beautiful location nestled in the hills, with a lot of trees for shade. Big enough but not too big and very well put together. There's even a small kids park mid-way through to stop and get some energy out. Great...Read More

Perfect sized zoo to take a stroll with the kiddos! Not too small and not too big. Great variety of exotic animals for everyone to enjoy. Would absolutely recommend if you were staying near the area and were looking for a good past time. Fairly...Read More

Our family loves the zoo. It's a great zoo, not too big and we've never been when it's crowded. We get family passes every year. Everyone there is so friendly and easy to talk to. I've never had any issues with cleanliness in the bathrooms...Read More

It's a small zoo but well done - most areas look new, even the sections being remodeled! So while it doesn't have a lot of space, it seems that it's got some good donors. The animals look reasonably happy and relaxed and they even have...Read More

We enjoyed our time at the zoo. It took us about an hour and 45 minutes to walk the entire length of the zoo. It is laid out well with a circular path winding through the different exhibits. We were able to see all of...Read More

First zoo experience for grandchildren. It was the right size for little ones and their attention span. It took about an hour to an hour and a half. The zoo was developed properly (layout) and easy to navigate. There are ample sitting spots to rest...Read More

We were visiting Greenville and decided to take a look at the zoo. The tickets are pretty cheap ($13-15/adult). The zoo is not too big but enough to take a hour or two of your time exploring.I really enjoyed seeing the monkeys, giraffes, and tortoise....Read More

Nice smaller zoo. Very shaded and light walking. We were disappointed the Lions had passed and were no longer there. A nice playground and picnic area as well. The process to rent a scooter was not clear as we waited in line to purchase and...Read More

On vacation in Greenville. It’s 97 degrees out so decided to go to the zoo! Ha ha! They had a couple stations misting water so that was a refresher! If you go, plan on treating that as part of the fun. There are shady spots...Read More

Zoo is going through many renovations. Looking forward to the end result, but there was no warning that this was going on. Lions are no longer there, and they are the primary animal my kids wanted to go see. Several animals were not in their...Read More

It's a small zoo but short and sweet. We got in thanks to a friend's membership but the prices listed were reasonable for the size and animals. It is best to go first thing in the morning because the animals are getting their food and...Read More

This zoo is perfect for kids under 5. I've bought the annual membership for about $100 2 years in a row and it's more than paid for itself. Definitely buy tickets online as you can save some money and guarantee your entry time. My 15...Read More

Roughly 1/3 of the exhibits were closed/empty or under construction. Even if all of the exhibits were 100%, this was still a VERY small zoo. We were in and out in about 45 minutes. A small zoo isn't necessarily a bad thing, but their prices...Read More

Disappointing...Too much $ for what it is Not... for the small number of animals we saw. Zero large cats were seen. No elephants. No red panda. Etc...A couple construction areas, though no one seemed to be working on them, but maybe this situation...Read More

We flew to Greenville for Christmas and wanted to take our toddler granddaughter to the zoo. I have to be honest and say that the money we spend for our family to see the animals was very disappointing. Very expensive for just a short walk...Read More

This is the perfect zoo for the young, old and those in between who don’t like the heat! Even stopping to read about the animals, chatting with some docents, waiting to feed the giraffes and visiting the gift shop, it only took us about...Read More

Went during “boo in the zoo” and we had tickets for 7:45pm. We had to pay EXTRA for 3 kids to trick or treat on top of the regular admission price, which was fine originally until we realized there were no animals to be seen...Read More

I think all zoos are sad, but I do appreciate that most of these animals would be either killed or have less quality of life in the wild. This zoo has so many types of animals and is such a great place to bring children....Read More

It’s a nice, little zoo-let. The animals they do have are close enough to see. There are no elephants here anymore. No tigers, but they do have lions, orangutans, monkeys, lemurs, little red-pandas, leopards, birds, vultures, pigs, chickens, tortoises, gators, and a nice reptile house....Read More
