With the exception of the bats, every animal here can be found in the wilds of NNY. A perfectly sized zoo for a city of 27,000. Visit often because animals tend to hide on very hot or rainy days.
Martha Shene BabcockJuly 5, 2013Really nice spot for a relaxed family day! Quiet, with nice trails to walk between exhibits. We love it!
Abbey KleczewskiNovember 25, 2012Just a small, local zoo, but they have some really neat animals for their size, and it's a nice place to walk when the weather is nice.
Relic B FurryJuly 23, 2021It is a small Zoo and you do have to keep that in mind. Staff is friendly.
Lacey VermeulenJune 15, 2013Shouldn't be called the NY state zoo, very small zoo nothing is label well. We thought there would some monkeys or tigers since it is called the ny state zoo but there is none.
