My family and I went to Micke Grove Zoo this weekend. It was only $13 for the whole family, so the prices are super reasonable. The zoo was pretty well-maintained, and there were some nice areas to rest and things for the kids to do to keep them entertained. It’s a small zoo, so there weren’t many exhibits with animals. Most of the exhibits were closed for repairs, had no animals, or the animals weren’t in the outdoor areas. If you’re visiting the park, I’d recommend stopping by, but don’t make a special trip out of it.
Nice and clean zoo. The animals were well cared for along with their habitats kept cleaned. The staffs were truly friendly. Very fair admission pricing and re-entry is available. Nestled inside a huge park for an entire day of learning and fun for the family so plan to stay longer. Bring your picnic and park activities and enjoy!
VERY small zoo, but the keepers do a nice job with what they have. The admission is super cheap, $5 an adult, $3 a kid, 2 yo and under free. It's a nice short walk around to see a few animals then go play in the rest of the park. They are closed Monday and Tuesday as of this post.
First the pros. Admission is affordable ($3-5), even with parking (try to avoid special holidays). You have to consider this a small park with the possibility of seeing small animals. The exhibits aren’t very well designed, or not exactly designed for the specific animal. Didn’t see like half of the animals. Probably because of funding. If you set your expectations low, then it’s just a simple pass through. Just don’t give your expectations high.
Today I was able to help my wife chaperone her 1st grade class field trip. This is a small zoo. But it was fun, the kids enjoyed it. And it was fun to show them around and let them learn about the different animals. And after we were done inside the zoo. When you come out the front gate. You can cross the street and have a picnic lunch like we did. There was plenty of shaded picnic tables. Enough for both classrooms to set and eat. Then the kid played with balls. And did a scavenger hunt in the picnic area. Bonus was that there was a very clean bathroom for boys and girls. And it was just across the street from the picnic area. And these are streets in the Micke Grove area. So the roads were not busy. It was safe for the kids to use the restroom.
