Reviews of Asian Highlands at Hogle Zoo (Zoo)

Kerem Cantekin

For me best part is the Grandma's house, which is a very authentic place, designed as Tibetan House, also learn the history of the little flags, above the place.

James Dawson

It was cold but worth it. ^_^

Brent Long

Great "Zoo" day !! Finally saw the Red Pandas Up Close !!

Rachel Frazier

The snow leopards are beautiful and stunning. I always hope to catch a glimpse of their green eyes

BRAD WILLIAMS

Cool cats. Kids loved it

Gavin Andrus

Great little zoo!

Emma Cundick

We visited on a very hot day but they had large fans and mist blowing to help cool off. Only complaint is we didn't see many animals there because it was so hot some animals were not in their outdoor exhibits

Catherine Blomquist

Always love visiting the Hogle zoo. We have SEASON passes which saves us a lot if $$. The zoo is clean, the animals are very well cared for. The habitats are very well done and give plenty of space to the animals.

Derrick Jepperson

I think how they set up hogle zoo is awesome if course this is one area of the whole experience. What they have done is experience sections of the world from Asia to Africa to america to Antarctica I loved the zoo within a zoo it was a great opportunity for the kids to experience to ask questions of the animals within that region what makes them unique. Of course the red panda

Don Barton

Alittle hard to view some of the animals but a great time!

Quinn Rollins

It was a cold and rainy day, and the tigers were very active, along with the Amur Leopards, Red Pandas, and Lynxes. The living spaces for the animals strike a balance of making them visible while being humane and giving them enough space to roam. The informational placards are just enough to let you know about the animals and want to do more to conserve them -- this is a great part of the zoo.

Chris Mathews

It's better now that the new Tiger is more active. The Red Panda is really cute. As always the Leopard pacing us fun.

Kyle Hunt

The polar bear exhibit is fantastic. Try to be there for a feeding.

Bonni Crossen

Great experience. Animal habitats are enjoyable for both residents and visitors.

Carz_4_life

Cool exhibits.

Clarence Lund

Love the polar bears

Michelle Ortiz Gallegos

The red panda is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Asian Highlands is beautiful and so much fun. I purchased the family membership and it's the best money I have ever spent. We can go at a very easy pace and just go back again another day to see the other attractions. I loved feeding the giraffe leaves! So much fun.

Eliza Saunders

Fun Fun Fun. Did i metion it was fun?

Becky Greely

Everything has been updated each exhibit is tailored to each animal so beautiful we had a great time with the family!

Catherine Burson

Much better than the Zoo of my childhood in the 80's. The Asian Highlands specifically are one of the largest improvements at the Zoo. Sooo much better than those sad cement cages. It feels like the animals are happy and enjoying their habitats. The keepers I've spoken to are knowledgeable and passionate. Definitely an enjoyable experience for adults as well as kids

Liz Judd

The Hogle Zoo has done so much to make these animals feel at home. Mind you, I don't support captivity for any animal but the ones that can't thrive in the wild deserve a nice place to retire and the Hoogle Zoo is the best place for those animals.

Searjasub Lopez

Good experience to bring little kids

Brooke Hardy

Amazing

Teague Sorenson

We love the Hogle zoo. We have been season pass holders for 5 years. The red panda exhibit is awesome.

Not the biggest zoo ever, but it is a nice place to take kids.

Great small zoo. All the animals are well cared for and appear happy. Enjoyed walking around and speaking with the caretakers.

Brian Campbell

Asian Highlands is always our favorite stop at the zoo. The red panda display is great. The big cats are fantastic.

Kevin Mock

Asian highlands is one of the funnest parts of the zoo. You will almost always see the snow leopard and jaguar and all through the winter the red panda are active and adorable.

Jack Hansen

Animals seem very happy and the staff is delightful.

Jacob Pettingill

Meer cats are awesome!

Sage Arnell

Love the bear exhibit. Our you see the sea lions, bring a coin, drop it by the water window, and you will get their undivided attention.

Candice Simpkins

They have made so many changes over the years! They continue to improve the quality for these animals.

Kelly Owens

Love going there

Shane Owens

So much family fun good price

Nicholas Cutler

The chicken and tater tots were delicious. The atmosphere was delightful as we ate our lunch and enjoyed watching the red pandas play in their exhibit.

Marie Powell

Love the Red Pandas, most of the cats were pretty active

Tessa Ross

The last Wednesday of the month is free admission, and I took full advantage! The lions napped right in front of the glass, and we saw the Zebra babies running and playing! The elephants put on a show a few times a day with their trainers. They’ll paint and climb and it’s so fun to watch! I love this zoo and I’m lucky it’s so close by.

Paula lamb

I live the Asian highlands at the zoo. Hogle zoo has done much over the last 10 years to improve the enclosures for the animals. There are lots fewer cats now so the the ones they do have can have large enclosures with a natural habitat instead of the old cement cages. I love the new red pandas that were added this year. They are very cute.

Butch

A well organized and beautiful area of the Hogle Zoo

Mark Beebe

Love taking the kids here.

Bryant Alvarado

It was really fun, but we could beraly see the animals. A lot of them where hiding.

Nancy Fernandez

Go every year with the hole family

Joe Miera

It was nice I wished I could of seen the cats

Rafiki Zazen

Wonderful experiences. Creative displays and very informative.

Robbie Speelman

Always love the zoo here. It's clearly making money because it's expanding and cleaning up nicely. They had zookeepers and volunteers at nearly every exhibit to answer questions and tell neat facts. Specifically in this section, they have a few new momma kitties. Bonus, the tigers we're awake also.

Nicole Harris

It was cool to see.

Michael Richardson

Always great to see a jaguar gnawing on some meat.

Kandi Mauchley

We got a year pass because we love going. The bird show is fantastic. My kids love the carousel. The statues are almost as fun as seeing the actual animals.

Emma Giblon

This is a place where imagination truly comes to life!!

Ethan Sorenson

I love the wild cats

DeAnn Dodds

Red pandas and tigers

Tristan Roylance

Didn't know Asian highlight existed

Shayne Hudson

I love hoogle zoo! It's a super fun place!

Stephanie Jankowski

It’s a destination you need to visit if you have kids or love animals or quality time with great people. I love the Zoo!!!

Helen Clare

The Asian Highlands are always a highlight of the zoo! The red pandas are very active.

Misty Hansen

My favorite part of the zoo

Arielle Brädt

The Hogle Zoo is pretty fun. We have the family pass so we get unlimited rides on the carousel and I believe the train. We also get 10 percent off anything we buy there. We usually spend anywhere from 2 to 4 hours here. Today when we went they fed the elephants and it was super cute to watch them stand up, spray water and trumpet. I'm only eating this 5 stars because I have been to the zoo in Los Angeles, CA and it is a lot better. However this zoo is fun entertainment for my kids and they seem to treat their animals well.

Keemosoby

Was really cool to see zoo light and the animals

D LC

Hard to get up the hill but it has a nice area with mist and shade. Also has tables and umbrellas to stop for lunch or a snack.

Scott Barnes

Crowded but fun

ufxjimbo Montgomery

AWESOME display

Erin Lewis

Beautiful cats in the Asian Highlands. The new cub is growing so quickly. The great variety of cats are beautiful to see. I love that as the weather is cooler, the cats are a little more active during the day.

Jonathan Rodriguez

We went late morning which seemed to be the perfect time to go to the Asian Highlands at Hogle Zoo. The fall weather was cool with a light wind. We also didn’t have to fight with huge crowds. Both the Amur Leopard and tiger were active and moving. They had just fed the tiger a rabbit and it was incredibly fascinating watching the tiger first strip the fur off with his raspy tongue and then dig into his meal. We watched the leopard pace back and forth. The spots and coloring are gorgeous.

ReInvented Relics

Amazing collection of animals in a pristine setting.

Christina Ruiz

Great experience.

mkki gonzalez

The zoo sucked for my Grandkids first time not too many animals and the wart hog they are advertising was not even there lil kids hope gone and to spend that type of money and they close at 6pm really before it would take all day now like i said no hippos gaters snakes what....am I really paying for ...

Brandon Houmand

Awesome setup and creatively out together and helps with the viewing experience of the animals.

Diane Darling

I always love the hogle zoo. It is one of our favorite family destinations. Passes are affordable $89 for two people. $150 for a family pass. The playground and splash pad are awesome, but the splash pad usually doesn't open until summer. They have kid shows that are engaging and fun. The kids got to pet an armadillo. The bird shows are lengthy , but cute. We love the elephant shows with the cool tricks. The lion feedings are super cool, and they have the lions do cool tricks. It is super fun to see Nora and Hope the polar bears swim in the water. There is a cute baby giraffe this year. There are some baby zebras too.

Ashley Johns

Great place to see the "big cats." We especially love the leopards and the new baby Pallas Cats.

Mark Halliday

Great park too bad there isn't more land

Winter Redd

This area of the Hogle Zoo is a must-see. The big cats are always out and about and there are plenty of viewing places to see them all. Plus, we LOVE the new red pandas and their enclosure. They're always active and climbing about. You can see them from the front area, the side, and from above. Highly recommend walking around the Asian Highlands when you're here at the Hogle Zoo.

Kelvaris

Incredible experience of a lifetime. Awesome staff.

Kevin S.

The zoo is the zoo no need to review! The zoo is always good times however Zoolights at the Salt Lake Hogle Zoo is an absolute waste of money!

Colt Warden

My family absolutely loves the zoo, it has gotten so so so much better from when I was a child...

Lori Springer

I live the Red Pandas

RickyThe Gypsy

It was fun.

Jed Ashford

We come here multiple times throughout the year and it's been great every time. The people are nice, animals well taken care of, decent fair admission price. Free for 2 and under. You can walk there entire thing in an hour if you're fast. Lots of food and drink and activities. Kids loved the little splash pad area too. Bring swimming clothes!

Stephen Regginello

Took the grandson. Great!

Robin Lee Hansen

Loved seeing everything

Peter Herget

Do you love animals...? Do you love Asian animals even more? Well then, do walk over to the Asian Highlands area and enjoy some Panda, Tiger, and other awesome excitement! The panda bears were shy when we visited the zoo and we missed them - dang!

SJ

People need to learn respect, and the zoo needs more staff to handle unruly guests. Tired of people knocking on the glass and yelling in quiet areas. However, the lower rating is because of the lack of care shown to many of the animals. Today we watched an elephant eat a post Bernstein they aren't fed enough.

Amie Burya

Love the zoo so much!

Chad Smith

Nice local zoo. The animals seem well cared for.

five nights at sister location

Great place so many fun animals, wonderful zoo workers to help you give you new information.when we were there we got to feel a polor bears coat which was pretty cool

Ajj Ajj

It was so fun

Forrest Smith

Loved our visit to Hogle Zoo. It was late in the day by the time we got to the Asian Highlands so the cats were a bit sleepy, but what cat isn’t sleepy. We loved how everything was setup and how close we could get to the animals. It was a great experience to be sure.

Josiah DiMeglio

This place is quite delightful. Seeing the big cats, the small cats and the red pandas, is a lot of fun with children.

Sean Bigler

The zoo has done great with the red panda exhibit.

Rolando Garcia

Quiet and interesting

Jordan Jones

The Asia exhibit is definitely the best

Mike McCal

The Free flight bird show was spectacular.

Very nice. It's cool, being able to get so close to the red panda, snow leopard, and more.

kim ardito

Cute animals

Halli Christensen

Nice place but overpriced food

Calvin Jones

Lots of animals that you won't see around here. Active when it's hot.

Fred Ashdown

It was a pleasant day nice all in all

Elizabeth Peterson

Great place for family and kids even the young ones.

Stormy Beach

It was a bit smaller than I thought it would be, but iver all it had a great selection of animals to see. The polar bears we're playing so that was fun.

Casey Swain

They have really improved the zoo; parks, walkways and different animals. Great place for a family activity or date night.

Timothy Hawes

A great addition to the zoo

Miles Hicks

Always great. We love taking our kids, they ride the train and we stop for lunch in their cafe. The animals seem to be in good spirits around September when the temperatures drop a bit. They also do Zoo Lights around December and Halloween decorations for October.

Sam Ellsowrth

Such active animals

Alyssa Thompson

My boys love seeing the tigers and other cats. They were being pretty lazy though. Seeing them and all the other animals when it's cooler outside makes for a better trip to the zoo.

Hannah Anastasio

Love this place. The new baby is so cute!! They have so many big cats to see! The red pandas are usually out playing as well.

Jade Loyd

The carousel was fun

Kadie Ortega

Feel bad the cats don't have more room

Therese Rogers

Hot days, animals relaxing.

Matt Chavez

The Zoo is a decent one. The animals are fun to look at.

Gordon White

Exotic animals you don't see every day

Shirley Western

I love going in the winter. The cats are active and no one is there!!

Jose Bonilla

Try to go when it's bot to busy. You'll enjoy it better. But it's cool

Madeline Bracken

This was really cool. My daughter loved the snow leopard and he was really active when we were there.

Tiffany Hakunashi

Absolutely so gorgeous. The tigers were active and the red pandas were eating so happily

Jackson Lloyd

This part of the zoo is fun, but always crowded. The cats can sometimes be hard to see in their habitats, depending on when you're there. The cats also sleep like 20 hours per day so it's more than likely that they'll be asleep if you're there in the middle of the day.

Cambria Myrick

Nice part of the hogle zoo

Jessica Warren

The Asian Highlands is my son's favorite area in the zoo! The animals and building designs are awesome!

Pam Berry

It was great to have our picture taken for memory of tonight thanks

Lynette Penman

The zoo is one of our favorites family outings... Always a wild adventure

Allene Wray

Watching the zebras is always a delight!

Kiwina

My kid loves the zoo

-Fawn Murray

Grandkids would stay for hours watching giraffes. Fun to feed them also

Stacy Hardee

Loved the kitty's

Code Emm

Gotta go in the morning. Cats are alert and moving around. Beautiful area to visit at the zoo.

KARMA CHADWICK

The zoo needs at least 1 smoking section to ensure the continued joy of people, instead of unhappy smokers full of anxiety.

Sierra Peterson

What an amazing interaction. This place is outstanding. Well cared for happy animals and clean enclosures wish we lived closer this would be a weekly thing for us. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Answered all of our questions and helped point out some animals we didn't see at first

Darryll Oberg

Love it. Bit expensive but worth it.

Diane Aamodt

Love Asian Highlands. The animals are majestic.

MONICA FERDIG

The hoggle zoo is wonderful

Seth B

Tigers are cool

Gloria Taylor

Love the zoo. So clean and beautiful

L Scoresby

Gorgeous and rare cats plus the cute red pandas. Best time to go is right after zoo opens or right before it closes. Don't miss it!

Lily Lundeen

it was very nice

Addie Naegle

Many of the animals weren't there, but the ones that we did see were very cool.

Bryce Bertola

This is a great addition to the zoo. The red panda exhibit is easily my wife's favorite, and they have a new leopard kitten that was pretty adorable to watch playing with it's mother.

Jeff Bennett

Please note, my review is for the Zoo and not the cost which is WAY TOO MUCH in my opinion for what you get. The zoo itself has a very nice selection of animals and if you go during the winter the crowds are kept at bay making the experience more enjoyable. My kids loved the "kitties" in the small animals building and it's always fun to watch the sea lions and polar bears. If it's been years since you've been, I like the more "natural" exhibits they have compared to the cage rooms of old. The play place with slides, rope bridges, boats, etc will keep your little ones entertained for quite a while if they need a break from looking at animals.

Randy Moss

Beautiful addition for the animals.

Doug Grennan

Love the red panda. Aka the firefox

Jared Emmett

I remember this part of the zoo being awesome. Maybe I was young and just ok was amazing back then. But I remember it being a lot better. I don't think they have upgraded since I was a kid. What ever happened to Sasta the liger. Dead I know but they used to have a picture and story. At least work on breeding another one. Time for a remodel for sure.

James Kidman

The tigers and cats are wonderful!

angelo Palermo

Nice part of the zoo

Wendy Valdez

All the exhibits are so much better than they used to be. More viewing areas for the visitors and more territory for the animals.

Kelly Larsen

It's got Tigers and Leopards and a Siberian Lynx and Pallas Cats. There's a cool Tibetan motif going on with the prayer flags, makes it feel exotic.

Joe Szymanski

Getting a little dated except for the Red Pandas.

Lacianne Wells

Loved the animals.. prices for stuff is ridiculous like every entertainment place.
