Louisville Zoo

I like the exhibits where the animals come right up to the glass

I love the zoo

I love the zoo more than almost anyone so I was very excited to go today because I had never been to this one! We took my niece for the first time and it was such a fun day! However many of the animals were not in their exhibits. They didn't have the Tigers, lions, or zebras out at all and we waited for about 45 minutes for them to bring the polar bear out.

A lot of animals off exhibit

Everyone we met who worked there was super friendly and helpful

I have been going to the Louisville zoo since I was a child. Since then I have moved to Savannah Georgia and have had children of my own. I decided while I was in town I would take my kids to the Louisville zoo because I always had such a great experience growing up. My kids were not very amused. The Indoor exhibits with the smaller species is it too bad, but the area where the penguins are is absolutely breathtaking and the worst way possible. The water was disgusting the whole room and building reeked of fish and the birds were just sitting up top not even wanting to get into that water-I can't blame them. Honestly the smell and that building is so bad something truly needs to be done! The Legoland exhibits were really interesting and I think those were my kids favorite part of the whole zoo. I was highly disappointed that my children couldn't see the Lions, the camels, and could only see the rear ends of elephants because of the construction. I feel that they should have given a heads up at the ticket booth that that portion of the zoo was closed off. Of course I will come back to the Louisville zoo because like I said before it was a fun piece of my childhood memories and I hope that next time everything will be up and running. On a positive note the gorilla exhibit is exquisite and so is the polar bear exhibit. I really enjoyed how well you can watch the polar bears in the water, and how up close and personal you can get with the gorillas.

This visit wasn't what I was expecting because construction work was in progress and some of the exhibits were closed. I was unable to view the lions, camels, and zebras. The polar bears and monkeys were also not out. Overall the animals were amazing and it was a good experience.

A lot of construction going on. Couldn't see some of the animals. Otherwise it was a good visit

All the concession stands were closed.too many animals off exhibit
