el paso zoo

Not a very big zoo, but very cute and they have quite a bit for their size! Loved the lions but my absolute favorite guy was the sea lion!!! He was super engaged and would hang out at the glass and try to interact with everyone! Oh yeah, this zoo also has a MASSIVE turtle!!!! Probably the biggest I've ever seen. Loved the prairie dog area; there are little tubes you can pop your head up in just like them and be that much closer. A very fun afternoon out and would go back.

This zoo has a wide variety of animals. The park is really well kept and clean. The staff is also very devoted to the animals.

Convenient. El Paso has out-done itself with its zoo. It's nicely maintained and has some great exhibits.

We had not been to the EP Zoo in about 6 years and for one of us in about 15 years. It's been redone and updated and the food is great! They have healthy options for everyone. The place is great and still growing. Good Family Fun.

My husband and I were married there. So we obviously liked it!!The bird enclosure is pretty neat. My favorite is the large seal exhibit!

I like this zoo a lot! It has many animals to see and the fact that it is relatively large compared to other zoos I've been to, makes it wonderful! You can have a GREAT time with the whole family!

small, all animals sleeping, walked thur in less than an hour, and expensive not worth the time no good food in park itself

This is a great place to spend time with the family and enjoy the zoo, you need to go early so you can check all of the animals, bring some water and snacks, and have fun.

The zoo was larger than I expected, but definitely not the largest. It still had a decent amount of different animals, although some of the animals seemed very depressed, probably because of their lousy living conditions. Then again meerkats for example had lots of toys to play with and seemed very cheerful.

The zoo was larger than I expected which a good amount of animals. We went in the off season (December) so crowds were low, and there was some maintenance and some things were closed.It was a fun visit, and most of the exhibits are somewhere around 10-20 years old (newer compared the the north east zoos I have gone to). My only complaint is the zoo looks like it needs some upkeep, especially at the sea lion exhibit.This zoo is definitely worth a stop if you are in El Paso, but I wish the zoo would keep some of it exhibits in better shape (paint, carpet, glass).Hopefully they address some of this during the off season.

The price wasa bit much for what we were able to see. I think it would be great in the warmer weather. Lots of things were closed or upgrading buildings. I dont think it was worth what we paid. Im sure its fantastic in the warmer months. Maybe they should consider lowering entrance fees during the cooler months.

It only took about three hours to tour this zoo but it was worth it. We were told up front that over half of the animals would not be out because it was so cold, so we didn't expect much. But, more animals were out than not so we had plenty to look at. They have Asian, American, and African sections of animals. They also have a couple of cafes and a gift shop.

Not a really big zoo, but they still do a great job with what they have. Awesome collection of animals, and they do a great job presenting them.

It's a good zoo, small though. Mostly good exhibits, animals are cared for, everything looks maintained. The only exhibit I didn't like was the reptile house. It needs to be a real building with exhibit's on the inside. They take other zoos admissions as a discount.Giraffe's enclosure was being added to allow visitors to feed the Giraffes

I had been away from el paso for 10 years. When I came to visit with relatives, I took the family and some out of town relatives to the zoo. Despite the lovely feeling of nostalgia, I was disappointed. We walked the zoo in 20 minutes. Most of the animals weren't in their cages or they were severely sedated. There is a glass were you can see a malnourished tiger passing from time to time. That was cool. Most of the staff were very friendly. It's also pretty expensive.
