Reviews of Hamill Family Play Zoo (Zoo)

Steven Sundstrom

We stop by Hamill every time we visit the zoo because my kids love to paint their faces. Their second favorite thing is the greenhouse, where they can water plants with spray bottles. The veterinarian space is a lot of fun, as are the crafts they can do in the workshop.

Amanda Monahan

Great place for toddlers! My lil guy loves that they have animals that he can pet. They also have all kinds of fun interactive activities.

Hours of fun

This is a great place within the zoo for smaller kids to run off some steam. There are lots of different rooms for kids to 'play' zoo keeper, do crafts, water plants, dig in sand, pet some animals and more. My 2 and 4 year old love to visit. I love to go especially in hot, cold, or rainy weather.

Georgine Piszczek

My grandson really loved it.

Linda Wasik

Our grandchildren had a great time visiting it. There were several rooms with different themes

Damian Chmura

Nice

Rebecca 42NA

Always a great place to spend a few hours when it's raining out. Multiple themed rooms to play in, activities throughout the building and of course opportunities to interact with animals.

Jacqueline Hernandez

More sanitizer has to be in placed in the veterinarian section of the zoo play area stethoscopes are being used by all the kids and there's and everybody's putting them in their ears possibly could cause an infection

Location Review

The kids LOVE this section!!!

Caitlin Wright

This is our favorite place at the zoo. It's perfect for little kids. There is always a craft going on, a small animal to see and pet, flowers/plants to water, a pretend vet area and our favorite face painting! There is also an excellent contained outdoor wilderness play area. The kids use sticks and tarps to build forts. Stroller parking outside and small toilets in the bathroom for toddlers.

Great place for kids to go and play and learn a lot about the animals

Kids love the play zoo!

Vanessa Saucedo

My kids had so much fun here. I was the only adult with my 3 babies so it was nice to play here in a more controlled atmosphere. The employees let us pet the animals gently and they were very kind with great attitudes and patience towards children. Very intactive and helpful.

Amber Hashim

Lots to do for kids of all ages!

Jean Marie Leix

Grandkids love it.

Mary Forney

This is always the first place my children want to go! Its a fun interactive area. Its always clean so many learning experiences. From the animals they pull out to pet, the greenhouse they can water plants in, veternary play space to being a zoo director. Your child is going to love being in here. It is such a great learning experience that even the parents get involved. The only issue is...youll have a hard time getting them to leave.

Elva Garcia

pamela laibl

Fun for "kids" of all ages! Also go see the Lego animals before they are gone the end of September. Amazing!

Kim Fazzini

I should know better to go there at the end. The Hamill Family Play Zoo is my sons favorite spot every time we go to zoo which is often. My son and his friend played in the animal hospital where they get to pretend to be vets for 40 minutes alone, then we went to the other areas like the lemur section and stayed for another 45 min. If you go to this part of the zoo know that you will be there for a good amount of time. Even my 15 and 16 year old boys love going to the play zoo. It really is a great stop.

JD Gallegos

Great place for kids to use their imagination. You can be a zoo keeper trainee and dress the part. There are lemurs in a smaller exhibit where you can even dress like a lemur. Kids can also be veternarians and take care of sick stuffed zoo animals. There is also a little playground for the kids to enjoy themselves outside. Beyond the activities, there are also zoo associates that give presentations about animals in the exhibits.

Lauren Cieslinski

This is a great place to let your toddler or young children discover everything for themselves. They have staff that explain and teach you everything there is to know about the animal of the day. They also have crafts and dress-up area. There is no food or drink in there and there's a place for stroller parking. However I have a newborn and it's quite difficult to Wrangler a two year old when you have a newborn in your hands so I use the stroller but they didn't say anything to me. They're very kind.

Adrian G

My kids favorite place always, they love to paint their faces every single time!!!!

Enisa Vejzovic

Zoo really?? They had a bunny to pet. Not much of a petting zoo.

John Zmaczynski

It's reasonably great, one of our favorite parts of free days at the zoo. My kids always want to go in, but i don't know I would want to pay extra for it, but honestly it is reasonable compared to a Children's Museum. Although on top of zoo costs.

Theresa Lavery

Awesome place for kids!

lil David

It looks nice

Kate Brennan

Lots to do in here...and it is cool when it gets too warm outside.

Anthony Benik

Kids got to make turtle capes from cardboard, yarn, crayon, and markers. My youngest got to pet a friendly Guinea Pig.

Great family adventure. A little pricey but worth it for the whole day.

Jacque Farnaus

I was there with my almost 4 year old granddaughter and we had a great time. She liked the bird nest,the kitty ,the room with the mopping, the jackets, the washing machine, refrig and the food in it. She liked the face painting and all of the toy animal and blocks. ,

Jonny Cigar

Fun for kids

claribel serrato

Fun, if you have kids.

Michael Endres

My kids always have a great time here with the special crafts, paint your own face station(s), and small animal encounters. They now have a sensory room for children with developmental disabilities. This is an additional cost experience at the Brookfield Zoo I'd you are not members, but it is worth it.

Linda Bothen

One of all my granddaughters favorite places ever. So many indoor and outdoor activities to do. You can be an animal vet, spray the rainforest with water, do a craft, visit the lemurs or be a zoo director. Outside has many adventures also: build a shelter, play musical instruments and climb on statuary. Unless a zoo member, extra charge to enter. Restroom available in junior and adult size.

Frances Mercado

My grandson didn't want to leave. Had a great time

Larry Maday
