Reviews of Niabi Zoo (Zoo)

Susan Moulden

Love the zoo,would like to take my grandkids more,but it is a real costly day..I think to charge for parking is crazy and 375 for train ride?Sure you are making plenty to keep it running without such a high price.

Muriel Melgoza

A quaint little place with lots to offer

Brian Myers

Enjoyed the zoo just the right size. And fair price for membership

Brad Stoutt

Took my boy here for his birthday. Always a good time. Friendly and informative staff. Grounds always in good condition, we really love coming here ❤️

S Newberry

While the pony rides were gone this year and the peacocks and elephants were removed a few years back, I found several other interesting tidbits my family and I really enjoyed. For example, there were two species of animals they had that were critically endangered. One of which was the red fox and there are less than fifty left outside captivity. There is another type of large cat that there are only forty left in the wild. On the other hand, we saw neither die to the large enclosures and talk grasses. I would suggest they at least offer pictures of these animals which they do not even though there are camera to monitor them. I would've also liked to see an Artic type habitat but I know that would be extremely costly for them. Seeing as there were six of us, were were very appreciative, or at least our wallets were, that coolers and snacks were allowed which was surprising. We were also able to purchase tickets to feed the animals such as giraffes and birds which they should have thought to do long before. The staff and interns were very knowledgeable and helpful which made the day that much more educational. The staff really impressed me!

Kids love coming here! We do Boo at the Zoo every year and enjoy seeing the Halloween decorations. The exhibits are great, we love feeding the animals ($.50 for a good amount of grain, bring quarters, change machine was broken last visit). The giraffe exhibit is another favorite. The only thing I am not fond of is how small the Great Pacific Octopuses exhibit is, depressingly small for such an intelligent creature. The Marmosets exhibit is also very small, located in the aquarium exhibit. I understand space is difficult to come by, but these exhibits could both use a revamp. Interactive activities are great, and renting a stroller for tired feet was only $5.

Danny Gates

Nice little zoo. Good for younger kids. Feeding the giraffes was so fun. As was feeding the parakeets. Train was down the day we went, but I have rode it before and it's also great.

Sue Grchan

I was so disappointed with all the weeds supposedly natural habitat for animals. I had granddaughters 3 & 5 who became bored. Almost impossible for them to see animals! Had to lift them up to see and get a certain angle just to barely get a glimpse ! Every thing was $$ $3 to park before even getting in! I had always enjoyed this zoo won’t be back anytime soon

Dave Reed

A great experience for the whole family.

Miles Davidson

Good place for kids.

nickole vaughn

Love this place very clean and the animals seam happy

lee thompson

Awesome small zoo. Kids loved it.

Suresh Veeramani

Great place for kids. They have reasonable number of specimens including large cats. Giraffe feeding costs money but is an interesting activity for kids. The employees are very knowledgeable and kind.

Monica Lambert

This seemed like a fun place to go, but when I went there wasn't much there. I mean I loved seeing the animals and the petting zoo was great. There just wasn't enough. I would recoomend this place for a child.

Helen Medina

Fantastic

Zac Weismann

Big city prices for a less than mediocre zoo. Half the animals are "put away" due to unknown reasons and half of the ones actually in their spaces are hidden by overgrown natural landscape. An 3/4 of the animals that you can see in most other zoo's aren't in this one. The extras such as train rides and feeding giraffes are overpriced for what they are. It would be a perfect place for a short stroll if the prices were right, however they miss the mark

Lori Maynard

Good for the small kids bit seems like the outer spaces outside of the railroad tracks needs some help

george c.

Brought 2yr old grand daughter she loved feeding giraffes riding on train and all the Animals. A great memory and a great day

Irving Salazar

Nice loving zoo.

Jodi Hunt

I don't recommend having a birthday party at the zoo. I was told we would have time to set up our own decorations and a solid 2 hours. We did not. They let the other party run into our time and took forever to clean the room. When we went back to take our stuff out, gates were being locked and we almost couldnt get back in. Its def not worth the hundreds we spent.

Olivia Rogers

It was fun and a lot of fun exhibits. The only problems are its a little small so they can't have many animals and the weeds are overgrown other than that it was a good zoo and I would definitely go again

Steven Bragg

Great place to take kids to learn about and see live animals. Occasionally have free days as well, which makes it even better.

Phyllis Wood

Such a quaint zoo. Nicely laid out. Plenty of benches.

Elizabeth Burns

LOVE THIS PLACE!! ALWAYS HAVE ALWAYS WILL!!!

Shante Mitchell

I will never return to this zoo again it was very boring and small. They didn't really have no animals to look at me and my family was highly disappointed when we left. Totally as waste of our time and money.

Draven Reisen

Great animals, friendly staff. The set up was very easy to walk and see all exhibits. Only downfall was price of concessions.

Tim & Carolann Manon

Was a lot of fun. Some animals werent out. Was too hot for them. But not the zoos fault. Was a great time.

SPZ Aruba

It is a small zoo. However the variety of animals, proximity afforded by the exposure, and views make it a definite day trip visit.

Camden Behrens

Super beautiful zoo! Definitely worth the trip from Cedar Rapids. They have everything you'd wanna see at a zoo and more. It wasn't super busy on the day I went but the zoo was very well taken care of. I got some beautiful pictures. Would visit again!

Katoptris34

Amazing animals, good petting zoo.

Hannah Lampe

I love the Niabi zoo Its always friendly always well informed and so much fun! All the animals are healthy and well taken care of it's always clean and they are always modernizing and updating their facilities making it more fun and interactive for everyone It's a bit pricey when you look at food or rides or gift shop prices but you go to the zoo for the animals and they have a free day once a week if you're tight on a budget This has and always will be one of my favorite zoos

Natalie Miller

Great small zoo for a nice price. Just wish the train didn't cost extra. I liked feeling like we had time to see everything in a day.

Vernona Swett

Enjoyed the reptile breakfast immensely. Learned a great deal.

Aaron Boyer

Great Little Zoo. Clean. Nice exhibits.

Pamela Myers

This is a great small zoo which is perfect for families with small children. Which is why I gave it 3 stars we have teens who were disappointed that there was not more to see or do it only took 1.5 hours to view everything which included the 6 min train ride

Cherry Penrod

love spending the day here. I go with a group every year

Beverly Gardner

Such an enjoyable place. I've been to many zoos across the US and even though this is a smaller zoo than the major cities, I was so impressed with the variety of animals. I've seen the big animals at every other zoo so I don't always get that excited for them but what Niabi has, besides some big animals, are many small animals I've never seen in person and a few I've never even heard of. The large animals they do have were easy to view. The giraffe feeding encounter was amazing. The grounds were well maintained and had peaceful surroundings. It was large enough to keep us busy for almost the whole day but not so big we had to rush or couldn't see everything. I thought the prices were very reasonable compared to many other zoos I've been to. And the staff was so friendly and relaxed.

Kim Daniels

Very nice small zoo

Jason Dohse

Excellent place to spend the day or a few hours with the family. Super kid friendly and has an awesome train ride around the zoo. Great selection of animals from around the world. Highly recommend.

Kelly Vogel

Smaller zoo and a little pricey for what it has, but kids had fun and it was quiet and easy to get around to everything

Angel Mundschenk

Niabi Zoo has been one of my favorite places to go since I was a kid. Now I'm a grandmother and I still enjoy going with my daughters and granddaughter!

Derek Stoneking

Fun place! Wish the snack shack was open for lunch though!

Lori Grandadam

It was a nice place to see some animals

Robert Miller

This is a great zoo mainly for younger adults or children

Gwen Lowe

We had a great day. The breeze kept the bugs away.

Sue Cooper

Alit of empty cages lots of weeds expensive drinks what the kids did see they enjoyed but it differently needs alot of updates onweb site dont have half of what they says Chicago zoo is better and that is where i willgo next time

XGame ClipsX

Still amazing to go to. Even when your a adult with kids. 5 stars!! Always

big Benis

Great for small children not as many animals as when I was a child though which is sad

James Cheek

I absolutely love this zoo! I have been coming here since I was a small child and even as an adult I still love and appreciate this wonderful place!

Jenna Hart

Great place to spend the day. Rated 4/5 stars only because the food options (especially for kids) was pretty lame. Kids lunch options were two items - PB&J or a hot dog. I will be packing a lunch for future trips. But there's a great variety of exhibits and the train ride was fun. Great playground as well.

Carla Lott

Niabi Zoo is a great smaller city zoo. We have great animals- giraffes, snow leopards, bobcats, parakeets, fish, birds, snakes, meerkats. They have a great train and a carousel. It is always fun. But tonight was a fun raiser called "Pints for Preservation". No animal houses were open, but there were a LOT of beer tasting stations. As a non-beer drinker, I still tried some. A couple were quite good. It was a disappointment to not see many animals out, but hopefully the money raised will make the zoo even better.

Bob Frazier

Very cute little zoo. Very friendly staff

Gerri Atkins

Some of the exhibits were not ready because it is still too cold. The face painting lady was gone and very inconvenient to purchase carousel tickets. I still had a great time!

Koree Clymer

We just visited this zoo and really enjoyed it! At first we were skeptical because of online reviews, so asked friends on Facebook. Many recommended it. Made the 2 hour drive and didnt regret it. The grounds were nicely kept and was busy but didnt feel like there were people in your way. Prices were comparable to other zoos.

Scott Bohlmann

Had a great visit. Lots of helpful volunteers and easy to see animals. My only complaint is they change extra for everything, making your experience significantly more expensive if you want to feed animals or ride the train.

TiredMomOfTwo

Seems like not all the animals are out when we go. But still the kids always have a great time! I love all the shade this zoo has. Prices are high with food and drinks but thats to be expected. Over all alwayw enjoy our selfs. Very helpful crew who know lots of facts about all the animals.

Virginia Helton

Best zoo, loved the koi pond

Kyle McKee

Not happy with our visit to the zoo. The maintenance of the zoo was awful, exhibits over grown and just the general grounds were overgrown and alot of weeds. Most of the bathrooms were closed and the ones that were open were dirty and no towels in them. Then alot of exhibits were empty of animals. Not a very expensive zoo but still not worth the money for not a whole lot there.

Randy Burchard

Nice little zoo great for small children and adults too

emily erickson

It was a nice little zoo. But most of the enclosures were very small and you could clearly tell the animals were very unhappy.

Marna Pauley

It's a great time for kids.

Midwest Mama

Reasonable prices, a very nice playground, some exciting animals and a nice little train ride! Our family loves this place for a special day out. It's very convenient if you're in the Quad Cities, and worth the short drive.The Gift Shop has trinkets for 50 cents, so you can let your little one pick out a small item for just a couple quarters!

Amber Tew

This is the perfect sized zoo to meander for an afternoon. It’s affordable and clean. Small enough for our Grandparents to not get too tired trying to keep up with rambunctious kiddos!

Shelby Meyer

It's always a great experience, but wish it had more animals.

Enpei Zhu

This is a small walkable zoo perfect for toddlers. It's never too busy. It's Koi pound and domestic animal area is sure to peak you little one's interest. Good way to spend 1 to 2 hours.

Clifford Ash

Our children had fun that's what counts. It would be nice to buy tickets at the exhibits.

Ramon Rosales

Great place to.take kids.

George Garza

Very exciting seeing the lions and tigers and all the other animals

Abigail Dickens

We have a season pass and love everything about this place. How you can bring your own lunch to the park and eat it there for a nice picnic. We love the train & carousel rides too. Getting to feed the fish and goats are my favorite. Getting a season pass lets you go to private events like the Easter egg hunt they have there yearly that my four kids always enjoy!

Jolanda Heyjkh

Cold have friendlier staff

Carol Hightower

We really had a great time! Our daughter LOVED the "choo-choo". The zoo is good for the community. Since we have been to other zoos outside of the midwest, we would like to see different exhibits. Places like the Oregon Zoo are what we reference when we think of a top rate zoo. We would love to have something similar here in the Quad Cities but understand that would take lots of funding. We will go back more and more and donate every time!

Alan Strasser

Very nice! Well laid out! Nice for kids and grownups

mo barker

A great little zoo. Clean and nice employees. Good place to take littler kids as its not a huge zoo so more manageable for youngsters.

Brian Hunemuller

Great smaller zoo. We were able to see everything without it taking from dawn until dusk. Kids loved the play area just inside the entrance. One minus: Wish the train and carousel were included with admission. One plus: It is nice to have some zoo personnel telling you about the exhibits.

Hotpepper gyrl

What kind of Zoo doesn't have Elephants ? The grass was so over grown you couldn't see the animals. I understand the whole GREEN thing but it was way over the top. $4.00 for a bottle of Pepsi SMH. The zoo really needs a lot of work.

Lori H

People who rate it 4 or 5 stars must not have experience at other zoos. I have never been to a zoo with overgrown weeds in all the enclosures. They even try to justify it with "why all the weeds?" signs saying that the animals like it. This is ridiculous. I've been to numerous zoos: Brookfield, Lincoln park, Chattanooga zoo, Tampa zoo, national zoo, and more. There are NO zoos that let the exhibits get overgrown! The animals look miserable there is no shade in exhibits. I thought the lion enclosure was abandoned because of how bad it looked but was sadly mistaken. We went to the zoo on a weekend trip, and it was the worst zoo I have ever been too. It was super hot this weekend in the sun and they didn't notify anyone that the only drinking fountains, concessions, and bathrooms were in the entryway to the zoo. If you want a bottled water from a vending machine or concessions it was $4. This zoo is a huge let down. Every zoo I have been to has misters to offset heat. They dont even have working drinking fountains! And please dont pay to feed giraffes unless you're prepared to stand in the sun for 40 straight minutes. We ended up forfeiting the $10 because it simply wasn't worth it. At Tampa zoo, if you got a ticket, you could feed the giraffes whenever. At Niabi, you can only do it within a half hour time frame and wait FOREVER! Please take the 4 and 5 rating with a grain of salt. The only reason I went to the zoo in the first place was because people said it was so great. I assure you, it is not and was a waste of money. In fact, most of the animals have inhuman living conditions.

Jessica Milner

Lots of fun for a family outing especially if you have little ones. I love that they provide scooter rental for those that can't walk around easily!

Kris Sikkema

We had a lot of fun. You can see they are really trying to make the zoo great again.

susn thor

This is the sweetest, cutest zoo. My daughter and the grand kids had a lovely day. This place is spotless and well run. Will go back.

Ron McKay

Fantastic zoo, nice large habitats for the animals. Affordable admission cost and at the gift shop as well.

Jodi Hanson

Fun train rides lots of animals fun feeding them

Shondra

Love the train. Love the animals but several exhibits were empty.

GOHAWKSWIN

My family and I have been going here for years. It may be a smaller zoo, but we always have a great time. More than enough for two small children to enjoy and of course the train ride.

joe baker

Family had a great time

Bethany Linsey

Decent priced and lots to see

Michael Nadeau

It's a nice place. It does lack a lot that other zoo's offer in variety and interactivity. It has been updated and is clean and easy to navigate. Could use more variety, complexity, and be a better value, as it will cost a fortune to take a large family here.

Joede Shull

Had my Grand Daughters Everlys Birthday there because of the heat they let us have a cool room ....we were not expecting that ...it was great ! ....Thank you from the Shull's

Peggy Garcia

A fun place to take your family to.

Rev. Mark Traman

Extremely nice and very good for autistic children and I even loved it and it's so huge and great many attractions

Dan Oliver

Nice local zoo. They have a lot of different animals. It's a bit on the expensive side. I think a bottle of water was 4 dollars. There was a 3 dollar charge for using the parking lot. The ocean exhibit was nice. I wish they had more to offer

penny moskaloff

Where are all the animals so paying a 100$ is alit for nothing really disappointed sorry

Sulabh Jain

It is a small zoo with limited animals. But it is good for small kids whom you want to familiarize with the animals who live in the jungle. They have toy train running around the zoo with a paid value. They also have rented carts for the kids in case you don't have a stroller.

Jim Carr

Always a good time for the kids. The giraffe feeding is fun. The big cat cages are difficult to see with the overgrown grasses. The train is always popular with the kids. The playground is a huge hit as well.

DeeGee Arterberry

Great place to take the grandkids

Andy Bravo

What a joke zoo, every time I go it gets worse n worse. More than half the exhibits are empty & the ones that actually have animals all look half dead and their terrarium is overgrown and gross. The attractions are either broken (the train) or cost extra..and the consession stand is only open at the front gate, so if wanting to refill your souvenir cup you have to walk all the way back. Also, now they charge for parking. The only thing I liked was the fish pond.

Kammi Church

My kids had a blast. Guess that's what matters.

Adrienne Z

No bathrooms or place to get drinks open in big part of the zoo. Hard to find staff to ask questions. Loved seeing all the animals and kids had fun.

Alexander Butler

Its was a lot of fun there and extremely kid friendly!! My boys had a wonderful time and all of the animals were out and about loving life as best as they can be. Worth the trip if you are around the area.

Joe Roberts

Terrible lawn care. Couldnt see most of the animals because the grass is so high. Very overpriced. Staff not the friendliest

Lakeshia

Horrible!!! Rip-off!!! Very over-priced and not very many animals. Took my daughter for her first zoo visit and I was utterly disappointed!!! They will never again rip me off.

Amanda Matya

Perfect day for the Zoo we seen all the animals and the bugs were not terrible! Had a great time with my girls ❤

Nick Ludwig

Great small zoo with lots to see and do, awesome spot for toddlers. The train alone was worth the trip.

Ronda Bearce

Had a great time with my granddaughter I ♥️❤️ the Sloth but he was sleeping so I didn't get to see his cute face.but the other animals we did see were awesome.

Chad King

Great zoo have lived it since I was a kid and now my kids love it too

Drivebywire222

Several exhibits, animals, birds and several more to see. Our nephews loved it! Gets better everytime we visit. Staff were friendly and knowledgable. Rides were fun, they even had little learning stations. Memories were made here.

Thao Nguyen

I love the place it’s just that the spot it was kind of stinks

Joe Leslie

Nice little zoo. Great exhibits considering it's size.

Barbara Fuller

A perfect day at the zoo! It's nice to see the changes being made.

metal marc

Overpriced. Not much to see. Nobody to give you info. I'd recommend going to Peoria, St. Louis or any other zoo. Cost too much to enter plus parking. If you want to ride the train or go on merry go round then you must pay for tickets at the gift shop Nobody told us until trying to get on merry go round. Trying to buy any food or beverages is over priced. Just bring own drinks if you can. Australian exhibit is a small walk with little to see. Same with most exhibits. Overall I'd just highly recommend going to a different zoo.

Stefanie Cornelius

This is a great zoo for this area. My kids love it and the membership is a good deal. Very walkable for young kids without a stroller.

Julie Wall

A beautiful little zoo with plenty of activities for kids or just a lovely place to walk around. I try to stop by anytime my travels go through the area.

Jake Wilbourne

Great information and animal programs, size doesn't fit its pricing on some things.

myra rhodes

It is nice for a day trip. Less and less animals or so it seems. But nice time for students and family trips.

Kindyr Penumbra

It was a nice zoo. For its size I was surprised by the variety, and how well the animals were taken care of.

Alex Thomson

Great time! We love going and spending a few hours checking out the animals. Only thing is it's getting a bit pricey to enjoy the full experience.

Jose Enrique Marval

Nice, clean Zoo! Workers are helpful and knowledgeable.

Greg Grieff

Clean and perfect size for small children(and their grandparents). Hard to see some animals because their settings are made to be as natural for the animals as possible which is understandable. Train ride and merry go round are a nice break from the walking. Not a large amount of animals.

Lisa B

I try to visit the zoo at least once a year. My grandkids love it. They need some chill zones though, it gets really hot during the summer.

K T

Niabi Zoo is a fantastic, small-medium sized zoo. It is extremely clean and not too crowded. You can easily spend 2-3 hours there.

Tessa Geerts

It was a really nice zoo. Even got a cool glitter tattoo!

Sheldon Runkey

Kinda small but well priced... they should indicate on their website when the best hours are to visit to have the animals be active.

Doug Bonick

It was beautiful day and the animals were active and the crowd was nice. My grand daughter and I had a great day. P.s met a group of people from out of the area and they thought it was great fun.

Richard Shewmake

My grandkids loved it. The interactive exhibits were their favorite. Feeding the parakeets and giraffes. Their mother was recording a video and you can just hear the excitement and wonder in their voices. It is a bit pricey though. Especially the food and drink. I understand they have to maintain and feed the animals. But $4.00 for water, I didnt see any water fountains so you have to pay for it. They do rent, 2 mobility chairs, wheelchair, and strollers.

Alejandra Cevallos

Small zoo. Friendly staff. Our kids enjoyed the giraffe feeding, carousel and train ride.

Kelly Carver

Fantastic smaller zoo with lots to see. Loved the giraffes and you can feed them treats for a small fee. Fantastic place for kids of all ages.

Allen Hale

The animals are arranged extremely well and seem well cared for. A great place to swing by for education and leisure's sake.

Keri Minihan

The animals where amazing. The little ones loved the meri go round.

Brock Martin

Small but well kept. Plenty of unique animals for a zoo of this size. Can easily be done in about three hours, but admission is only around $12 with parking.

April prestridge

The zoo was okay ! Not many animals at all ! The part that got me , was when I went early & hardly no one there ! Yet , I had to pay $3.00 to park my own car !! A 20 oz. Pop out of the machine is $3.00 ! The concession prices are way above what I would pay ever !

Kelli Allbones

Nice clean zoo! The little kids loved it!

Marj Osborn

Sorry to say but it was a waste of time. I know they say the weeds are natural habitat but it was ridiculous. You couldn't see the animals through the weeds. I was very disappointed with the way the zoo is kept up and the number of animals they have. The large bird house was full of parakeets. Nothing to exciting.

Chris Bierman

Decent little place for a small Zoo. Seems to me that it could be cleaned up a little bit. Not necessarily trash, just cleaning up the Lawns and Edge of the Woods. I would return.

tiffany hood

Great up going to this zoo. Has it's flaws like any other place. Just hope they keep improving as they can!

kitty seng

Loved the camels & giraffes!

Melissa Elliott

Great for little ones, carry in coolers allowed and plenty of picnic space! Giraff feeding was amazing, and no real crowd. We look forward to coming back with our baby next year since it's so low key.

Christian Payne

Well, I always went here as a kid and I can say things haven't changed much. & I love that since I get a sence of nostalgia. Cool animals and if you bring your family, you know everyone that came along would have a good family time. Not too pricy and its pretty big.

Marisa Bersch

Had a great afternoon at the zoo with the family. Very beautiful animals and unique reptiles. Not expensive... And very fun...

Tonia Whitehead

Fully support the zoo, just wish it had more animals and if they took the time to clean (glass) or replace their fish tanks that would be awesome. Bathrooms were clean, train driver very nice. I should also add the staff in general was very nice

Joan Kranovich

It is good for younger kids and is just the right size for a 2-3 hour excursion. It's not outrageously priced and has free days once in awhile!

S. Ramirez

It was okay, not enough variety animals to see. Too many exhibits were empty. They now charge $3 for parking. Kids are only $6.50 to get in but all the add ons from train ride, feeding birds, carousel is also each $3.00 so it can easily be $15 per kid. Adults $9 with out any add ons. Once you get to the ticket booth they ask, did you park a car today? Uh... Yes. I kinda wanted to reply, "no we teleported" They have multiple of the same animals in different areas. Attractions are pretty spaced out, wear tennis shoes, bring a stroller. Lots of walking. They do have some nice shaded areas to sit.

Shelby Gier

I absolutely loved this zoo! Adults were $9 children $6.50 with a $3 parking fee which is one of the cheapest I have seen. We were the only ones at the zoo the day we went because of the bad weather. (Call me crazy) we still rode the train, fed the giraffe's, and saw the majority of animals. We spent about 2 and a half hours here. The only thing I was upset about missing was the face painting but, I understand why they didn't have it going. The gift shop was fair priced we purchased 5 stuffed animals, toys, a youth hoodie, and a lion on a stick and had only spent $105 which to me was amazing considering the zoo's I have been to want OUTRAGEOUS amounts of money for a stuffed animal and the Niabi was VERY FAIR IN PRICING!

charli bourgeois

Thank you for giving me a safe place to bring my kids

Brandy Wade

Froze for Candy.... I would say this was poorly put together. We stood for 45 min in line freezing with 2 children of our own under the age of 6. Forty.Five.Minuets my friends. Had I of known that it was also scheduled for the next day (it was gorgeous and 62°) I would have waited. It was poorly advertised in that regard. I think it would be better if they charged a straight fee, like $25 for parking, per car, "cash only" venue, payable to the parking attendants when you pull in. Boom, no lines, no screaming children (ok, less screaming children) and no mile long lines! I feel Niabi Zoo just set us up for failure as parents with this one.

Eric Braun

Great experience. Unfortunately the train was down for the day but the rest of the zoo was a treat as always.

Trevor Wright

Perfect zoo to bring a child to. There are a lot of animals to see but it was small enough that you could get through it fairly quickly.

Tabby Marie

Needs more animals but we enjoy to go there for family day!

Ashlei Bolt

Great place to take the family for a little bit of fun!

Mary Vesey Johnson

Great Place To Take Your Children/Grandchildren's! Make Sure You Bring Your Own Strollers!

Terry Bouchez

A must go place to take the kids on a weekend trip...they loved it . Was my 2 year old son first time !!!

Navi S

Niabi zoo located close to quad city airport. The entry ticket for adult is $9 and the car parking ticket is $3. Note: they are not accepting amex card right now. Go go with cash or use alternate one if you have. The exit is close to the entry not the same gate. It’s clean and well maintained. They have small train which round the zoo. Giraffe feeding was closed. We missed it. I expected that lion can be seen with a glass between you. But it was in a area with fence. So you won’t get close shot. Food court is inside.Gift shop available close to the exit. Don’t miss to see the camel at the exit.

Randin Letendre

The zoo was looking pretty run-down, and the staff screwed me out of $51 by not accepting my Fun Bundle pass. I am VERY disappointed, and will not be renewing my membership next year.

Joshua Gray

Great experience! You were able to see quite a few animals very close up. Wish we could have ridden the carousel but it closes at 4:30 even though the zoo doesn't close until later. Note that there is a charge for parking per vehicle so try to group up if possible.

Travis Poulin

We went there for Pints for Preservation and had a great time. We were able to try many different kinds of beers while helping the animals.

Joey Dorsey

The worst zoo I have ever been I us to love it you can tell the animals are being neglected and over grown weeds

Melinda Harris

Mommy daughter day!

Starla Murray

With my grandkids and it was great

Gale M

The train ride was not even 10 minutes long. And the animals seem to be too hot and not provided with any way to cool down. The chickens appear to be sick as normal chickens have no bare spot on their bottom. It was waayy hot even inside the buildings that should be air conditioned. There were no singing dogs in their enclosure inside and out. I was very dissapointed. Last time i was here was 12 years ago. And i Would have rated it a 4 or 5 star. But now, i would rather drive to Blank Park Zoo than come here.

Meghan Evans

Is a fun little place to go walk around. They do have pretty nice exhibits but it was a little bit out of the way, about an hour drive for me
