The best zoo!

Awesome! :)

Jonathan Amaya-Batres

The Dark one under is scary...

Kim Locatis

There is an overwhelming smell of bat guano upon entering. Some habitats seem too small for the animals housed in them.

Natalie Harber

Loved the zoo. Takes a long time to see all the animals tho. Overall, i would come back

Matt P

Always one of the most popular buildings with my kids. Good mix of animals you might encounter in your state (turtles, frogs, and beavers) with some that most people might not (alligators and caymans). The desert dome can be pretty hot in the Summer but "it's a dry heat". ;o)

Devin Hansen

Always fun

Adam Heywood

This is one of my favorite stops in the zoo.

Gotta see to believe

Aaron Wiese

A classic Henry Doorly experience, always a great jaunt through desert biomes.

Michael Bloom

This is one of our favorite attractions at this zoo!

I visited this exhibit with family and they left fairly quickly because of the smell, although I didn't mind it so much. One might expect the desert dome to be very hot, but it was very mild. There were diverse species and not all hidden away as they have been before.

Roland Galla

Lots of fun

Chris Lewis

Kingdom of the night is the best

Ray Wollberg

The zoo is awesome. My grandchildren love this exhibit, but for me this exhibit is still in my top ten, but like number 9 or 10. Still in the winter time this is a nice place go thaw out.

Great educational visit....my kids loved the creatures of the night part!

Thomas Meola

Very cool. It is not just a desert experience. Below creatures of the night are displayed. Fun time. Give it a go if you are from out of town.

Trent Witz

My favorite exhibit. Great information and the deserts are awesome

Travis Ball

Went to the desert dome in the afternoon instead of the morning like we normally do. Yes it was more packed but it was also a lot more pleasant temperature wise it was definitely a lot cooler in the afternoon inside than it is in the morning when they first open.

fun look into another world.

I went for a Zoo trip on a Tuesday, so there wasn't much of a crowd, had a pretty great time looking at all the exhibits I may have missed from previous trips.

A W

Awesome experience. A must see.

Celeste Durant

You can see this dome before you see the rest of the zoo. It took so long for them to put this together originally. Imported sand from 3 major deserts. Birds get to fly around and nest openly in this dome. Try to spot a hummingbird! The nocturnal exhibit is also incredible. Take a few minutes to let your eyes adjust to the dark.

Curtis & Lynn Prather

The swamp area is amazing.

Royal Rena

Awesome nocturnal and desert exhibits with so many exotic animals from around the world!

Carlo Emanuele Barbi

You can be so close to the animals. Beautiful. The animals are used to humans.

Eric Williams

Interesting set-up. Not really sure if having a huge mountain take up the center of the dome is really a good idea; the space could have been better used by including more species or give more space to the animals already present. The creatures of the night exhibit is also great, plenty of nocturnal animals. The albino gator was amazing.

Vincent Raven

The Kingdoms of the night is an awesome exhibit. If you go during the Halloween Spooktactular events then they have the lights on. They are simulating day time for the nocturnal animals.

Daniel Kiah

Loved it!

John Jacob

they feed the bats at 4 pm, the temp really drops, be careful not to move too much as the bats will try to avoid you and end up crashing into you.

ankur chaudhary

Very interesting and must watch place. Kingdom of Nights was specially very good.

Katey Durbin

Incredibly beautiful wildlife immersion type experience. Its felt like a quick walk through a desert biome with plenty of animals to see. Obviously, guests should stay on the walking paths but be sure to take a good look at the plants and faux rock formations! Architectural and natural beauty combined.

Neeraj Rajput

The place is designed and built very well. The dark area is stinky though but can't help it. You will not mind the smell after checking out the animals in this section.
