jackson zoo

I like the Jackson Zoo I think they have been making major improvements and I agree even though its near an ugly part of town , I feel totally safe going with my kids . I've been going here since I was a young child ..

Thanks so much for your feedback! This is one of the most beneficial reviews we have received from a zoo guest and we really appreciate that your comments are in the best interest of the zoo itself and its' animals. We are very glad to know that the changes we are making to improve the zoo are being seen by guests, such as yourself. We strive daily to "Zoo It Better" by improving exhibits, providing exceptional quality care to all animals, and also improving the overall guest experience. Thanks again for your feedback! We are looking forward to Zoo Brew, as well!

Thank you for visiting with us, we apologize that we did not meet your expectations. We are an AZA accredited institution and our animal care staff takes expectational care of the animals. We appreciate all customer feedback, and will continue striving to "Zoo It Better".

We are so glad that you visit with us regularly and that the children enjoy the zoo! We hope that you have a great New Year and visit with us in 2015 to see the new additions and improvements we are making!

Sorry to hear that you had an unpleasant experience with us. Our zoo is almost 100 years old, but we are constantly striving to "zoo it better" with the resources that we have available. The animals are very well taken care of and we are AZA accredited, which means the habitats are in code with other AZA zoos across the country. Hope that you will visit again and see the zoo from a different perspective. Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for your feedback! We hope that you will visit again soon!

Thanks so much for your feedback! Glad to hear that you enjoy your zoo visits, and our collection of SSP animals. It's great to be able to visit the zoo multiple times a year, because you get to see the interaction of animals in different seasons, moods, etc. Hopefully we will see you again soon! And of course we are excited for our 2015 Zoo Brew, which is set for April 3 this year!

Thanks for your feedback! The Fall is a great time to visit, because of the cooler temperatures and the animals seem to be more active during this time. Sorry to hear about your experience at the petting zoo, we will take your feedback into consideration as we are working to improve overall satisfaction of the zoo, as well as the Discovery Zoo. We strive to zoo it better, and are working very hard toward this goal. We hope that you will visit with us again and have an even better experience to share with us!

Thanks so much for your feedback. We are so glad to hear that you and your children enjoyed Boo at the Zoo! This is one of our favorite events and we enjoy seeing the happy faces of both kids and parents. Hopefully we will see you again next year for another spooktacular Boo at the Zoo :)

Thanks for visiting! We hope to see you again soon!

Thanks so much for your feedback! And we are glad you enjoyed your visit. You are right, we are not as large (size or budget) compared to some other zoos in the country, but we are AZA accredited and strive every day to make our zoo a better experience for our guests. Hope you and your family visit again soon.

We are so sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your experience with us. Over our almost 100 year history, we have had a lot of ups and downs. At this time we are in the process of improving our zoo for an overall satisfactory experience. With our size and budget this can be a challenging feat at times, but we are working with the city on improving infrastructure and appearance of city streets and sidewalks. The overgrowth that you mention is much loved by our animals, we try to make their environment as close to a natural habitat as we possibly can (our baby tiger cub Eko loves hiding in the weeds and pouncing out on mom when she walks by). Our general admission is $9.25 for adults and $6.75 for kids, and during our fall/winter months we have a special rate of $7.00/$4.50. Thanks for your feedback! We will continue to zoo it better! Hope that you are willing to give us another chance some day.

Thanks so much for your feedback! And you made so many great points. We are continuing to zoo it better! Hope you visit again to see all of our changes.

Thanks for your feedback! Glad the kids enjoyed it. We have great kids events that take place year-round, such as Boo at the Zoo and Ice Cream Safari. We hope that you can not only visit the zoo again, but maybe make it to one of these fun events. If you still have your carousel tokens, bring them to your next visit and you can redeem them. :)

We are sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your previous membership. We are making a lot of new changes around the zoo, and we hope that you will visit again to see our progress. We are aiming every day to zoo it better! Thanks for your feedback.
