Overview
Micke Grove Zoo is a five-acre zoo with amphibians, mammals, birds, reptiles and invertebrates located inside of Micke Grove Regional Park. The zoo that exists today is very different from the zoo that first opened its gates in 1957. Today, the collection of Micke Grove Zoo emphasizes uniqueness and quality over size and quantity with a concentration on the welfare of the animal ambassadors that live here. Micke Grove Zoo is home to native animals and exotic species from all over the world, including several endangered species like the Cotton Top Tamarin and Black and White Ruffed lemur. Exhibits include the Tropical Forest Canopy with Green Iguanas and Prevost's Squirrels and the Island Lost In Time featuring lemurs and radiated tortoises from Madagascar. Micke Grove Zoo also features a Gift Shop, Wild Bites Cafe, and many fun annual events. Visit the Micke Grove Zoo website for a schedule of upcoming events at the zoo.

Very nice area for gatherings picnics etc. They have tables with covers for reservations or just bring a blanket & picnic. There's lots to do here! Playground, museum, baseball, horseshoes, fishing, disc golf, Zoo, Tea Garden, etc. $5 week days & $6 weekends/Holidays.
I remember always coming for a holiday and spending the day with family enjoying the fun zone and the zoo. Unfortunately the fun area is not open any more but being here brought back so many memories. Still very affordable. The Japanese garden was not open to the public only because there was a wedding happening but it was still fun to enjoy with family.
We found Micke Park Zoo by accident and really enjoyed the park. It’s small enough for small children with many exotic animals and common too. The animals seemed less than amused that day. Maybe some enrichment? It’s a cute zoo. 😊
Cute little zoo for kids! I have never been here before and I came for a field trip with my daughter's 1st grade class. There were many animals that kept them engaged. Took about an 1 hour for us to view and read about all of the exhibits. They have a nice garden and play area with picnic tables for relaxing as well. Parking is $5, tickets for adults $5 and kids are $3.
