It's free closes at 4:30pm but when your kids run around the playground the officials close at 5pm. Great place for the kiddos too.

It was a great little zoo

darc heart

It is nearby to where I live and it houses different animals who are rehabilitated and released or raised from being ophan to educate other about local animals and relation to Navajo Nation culture. They even have signs by each exhibit telling of how they are referred to in the Navajo language and tells of their story.

Elaine Roan

Distract the kids

Lori Lieder

This was a wonderful surprise when the husband and I traveled to Window Rock. We were early for our event so decided to tour the small zoo...they have a very nice facility and lots of native Arizona animals to view - coyotes, bobcats, elk, big Horn sheep, black bears and golden eagles. They operate on donations so if you go and can afford it, drop a donation (or two) to help support this local zoo!

Fun as always just wish the employees could be a lot more nicer

Kim Reighley

This is an amazing little zoo and park that was well worth the detour we took from our road trip to see it. They have a wide variety of local animals that were in habitats allowing for close up viewing, well cared for and stocked with a variety of enrichment activities for the animals. This zoo is unique in offering info on both the animal and how they fit into Navajo culture, which we loved! We did find restroom facilities in back near the bears, so don't be fooled by the portable john up near the front! They have a wonderful playground area, plenty of picnic tables and benches throughout park, but we never found any working water fountains, so I would recommend bringing your own water. It was a very safe, clean, open environment, and is always free entry, although they have donation boxes everywhere to allow you to help out!

Joaquin Francisco

Took my girlfriend here for the first time .... She loved it.... We plan on sponsoring and Eagle soon ... We took a lil break from fishing just to see this place ... We bought two t-shirts .....Plan on visiting again ..

Remain objective. Sure you have been to better zoos. However, there isn't anything else for hundreds of miles, and they do a great job of providing zoological information. They also provide you with cultural impact each animal has. If the kids have boundless energy, the middle is a playground.

Phil Nieto

Toy can take pictures inside a hogan

Greg York

Awesome place.

F Rod

Was fun that day

Dana Aldis

Small zoo, but easy to navigate, lots of information. Animals look healthy. Beautiful location and playground for kids too

Free to the public and donations are accepted here. I loved this zoo the first time I visited for awhile. Saw all the animals and learned many intriguing facts about the animals that I never knew about. There is a small picnic area. I would recommend visitors to visit this place. Place is awesome for children who love animals and adventure❤

Johanna Henderson

AThe zoo is a fun place to go for all children but especially for my 4 year old. She just loves it there.The animals here are so special in that they no longer are able to live on there own. So our zoo takes them in. It is just a fun place to go. Even for the adults. Also it free for all.

Hermatisha Austin

Interesting

M Garner

My first time going to a zoo :-) its a small zoo but awesome.

Jeremiah Deschine

This isn't the biggest zoo, but it's still very decent. What other zoo has FOUR eagles? I feel bad that their cage is tiny. I love the pen that has a duck, red ear slider, and a rabbit; it's very quaint and makes me smile. Also, can't beat the price of free! There is a donation box as you enter, toss in a couple of dollars, the animals will appreciate it.

Julian Aguero

Good place to take your kids

Phillip M

Zoo always closed in fall and winter months, when certain animals, need their rest, I suppose. Otherwise, located right behind the Navajo museum, but very muddy during fall to winter, when it is shut down.

DeAnnie S

Enjoyed this small facility. Took my sister, on her first tour. She didnt know their was a Zoo located n our nations Capital. NN capital Window Rock, NM.

Diane Smith

Small facility with local animals in ecosystem. The eagle barn appears new and maintained. Restroom clean with tissue paper, water, and soap. Some areas complete with side walk, other half is filled with gravel. No charge for entrance but donation excepted at various animal cages. A family can adopt animals in zoo. Great little nook for children.

Wilbur Tso

Nice come look at our Diné (Navajo) Animals

Alina Long

They had a recent upgrade and now have a really nice park! It's free and I would recommend taking kids here if you need to kill some time

Kathryn Mckibben

Great place for families, awesome exhibits and all but the wolf were visible when we visited.

Great displays of local wildlife and structures that tie into the Navajo culture. This is a small zoo. They have native wildlife and foliage displayed. A great find in such a small place!!!

Mina Desiderio

We love the fact that the Great Navajo Nation owns and operates their own zoological park. My family visits every year and we enjoy our visits. The Eagle Sanctuary is magnificent and we love the upgrades. Continued monetary donations are needed to continue the growth and developments for our children and grandchildren to enjoy. Today, I enjoyed taking my 1 year old nephew Robin to the ZooBoo Festival 2018. Great job all around!

Gloria Tom

The zoo is VERY clean and has been upgraded tremendously! Love the experience of bringing my family here while on vacation. I am from here and it was their first time. They loved it and especially loved how closely they could interact with the animals! My husband said this is the best zoo he has ever been to because of that. Definitely recommend for travelers!

Jennifer Himel

I've been here three times this year and it's just the right size. The neat part is all the animals are local to the area and many are rescues. It is free so please give a donation to help keep the animals fed and healthy.

Bren Arviso

Nice place to stop. The kids loved it. When spring/summertime rolls around we are going back for a visit

Johanna Henderson

Krystle Raymond

Great selection of wildlife to see here. Even better are the signs which showcase their Navajo cultural significance. I learned so much and have a renewed appreciation for each animal's symbolism.

Kris Hargett

Would recommend a just to this zoo. I see great potential in it. Did see some unbalanced emotions in a couple of animals due to lack of enrichment, which I hope will be remedied. It is free with donations welcomed. Please donate to help the animals you view.

Dana Garcia

Took my daughter and she loved it ... The bear Abby was my fav

Leanne Smith

A wonderful collection of native animals found injured or orphaned within the Navajo Nation. The habitats and educational displays are very well done. We took our time and were able to see everything in about an hour. Our son loved seeing the animals up close, and I was happy to see that these animals were receiving regular care and humane treatment. Definitely worth the trip! The visit was free, but we were happy to leave a donation to support their work.

Eane Tsosie

Awesome

Lori Cougar

This place has changed alot over the years, great place to make it a day with the kids

Rochelle Hubbard

Great up grading! By adding the eagles sanctuary, and repainting jeep up the great up grades. I go almost every year just to kill time and do a walk through with my family.

Wayne Blankenship Jr

A wonderful zoo! Free for everyone with great displays and wonderful views. The descriptions for the displays include both the English and Navajo words for the animals, as well as natural habitats and other cool information. Has a neat building with stories from the region and a restroom.

Gwendolyn Chischilly

Great Improvements! Beautiful Park..

Christina Contreras

All the animals are beautiful and very active. My family and enjoyed ourselves very much.

VAREILLES Family

Le Navajo Nation Zoological & Botanical Park se trouve juste en face du Navajo Museum au pied de l'immense rocher. Il est le seul parc tribal zoologique aux États-Unis. Il possède plus de 150 animaux représentant une cinquantaine d'espèces différentes. Le zoo se surnomme "Un sanctuaire pour la Nature et l'Esprit", et conformément à son énoncé de mission, il vise à préserver les plantes et les animaux indigènes, y compris les espèces rares, sensibles et menacées avec un accent sur la faune et la flore qui est important et significatif à la culture et les traditions navajo.
