Virginia Zoo in Norfolk

We have a lot of fun here because it is easy to run and walk around in a safe environment. When staff members are stationed in areas doing special educational activities or speaking about different animals it is always fantastic-wish it happen more frequently. I always think the staff at the gate and in the gift shop could be more excited and interactive with guests. It is a big deal to go to the zoo! I also think there could be more wagons or stations for fun trinkets and novelty food.

Is a very family recreation but too small for me

Many of the animals are hard to see. They have a lot of empty exhibits

Not all the animals were readily visible.

I went for the St Jude's walk

Some animals never seem to be out. Petting area never seems to be operating when we are there...

Lots of open walking space where no animals are visible. Much construction/rehabbing going on so many animals were not even viewable.

There was no main attraction present at the time, as far a lion or tiger.

Most of the animals during my visit were not available to view. The exhibits had not been cleaned. The train was not running with no posted reason on the website or before park entry and all of the snack areas were closed. I would not recommend this zoo to anyone especially not people with children.
