Went for the lights before Christmas display and was not disappointed! We arrived early enough to see some of the animals still on display, but when the sun set and the lights went on it was awesome. All of the trees were decorated in LED lights. There were paths that were lighted as well, one in particular ended at a huge pine tree that was gorgeous with multi color lights. Every ten minutes there was a Christmas themed show projected on one of the building's. In another part of the park the trees were decorated with multi color LED lights that were set to music, totally mesmerizing watching the display. Also enjoyed the new aquarium, it was small but well done. Absolutely recommend going to the Toledo Zoo for this display!!!
Went for the luminous lights and was very happy with my experience. The light displays were very beautiful. I was pleasantly surprised that there was alcohol served during the event that you could walk around with. To top off my visit I was able to see the new snow leopard cubs be fed, that was an amazing experience, they were so cute!!! Definitely going for the Christmas lights soon.
Nice zoo, but emphasis is shifting to profitability. We recently took the kids and grand kids to Lights Before Christmas and after being lectured about not having my wife's member ID, we toured the zoo. Several exhibits were not open including the elephants, polar bears, apes, rhinos, hippos, museum, bird house, and tigers. Ice rides for $4 to $8 were available though. I didn't see the usual model train and reindeer exhibits. I hope this organization returns to what it does best, displays animals that kids want to view. After being a member for over 25 years it maybe a time to find another Zoo.
This is a great zoo! Some areas are being renovated during the slower months but that just shows me things are being maintained. The Nature's Neighborhood is a must go for children and toddlers! Animals seem happy and I have seen animals playing almost every time I go through the zoo! They always seem to have baby animals in the enclosures also. We drive over an hour to go and it is worth it every time.
Especially loved the aquarium and the aviary. It was in November and just before Christmas lights, so less crowded but many things not open (no train, outdoor adventure, splash pad) and some animals not out (like elephants) but overall an awesome experience. Would like to come again in warmer weather. Especially enjoyed the aquarium and aviary. A very spiritual experience to watch the fish swimming with "Oh Holy Night"playing in the background. Like watching a numinous ballet. 3 adults, a 5 yr old and 2 yr old plus parking cost $86 entry fee. Well worth it.
