A zoo thats $12.50 a person? Nice deal for the amount of animals located at the zoo. Compared to the Seattle zoo, this definitely had a wide variety of animals to see. What you can see here are the following: bald eagles, a hawk, vultures, zebras, rhinocerouses, alpacas, llamas, elks, deer, bison, chimpanzees, orangatans, another type of monkey i dont quite remember but they have fluffy heads, bobcats, cougars, cheetahs, turkeys, lemurs, brown bears, peacocks, ducks, chickens, an alligator, kangaroos, donkeys, camels, goats, snakes, a spider, a hamster, and turtles. There is a petting zoo (sort of) where you can feed the goats, chickens, ducks, and donkeys, but theyre caged/fenced in so you cant quite come in and give them a pet. However they like to peek a bit out of the fence/cage so you can get them to nibble a bit at your hand. Food for the animals are $0.50 for a handful. Hand sanitizer is provided throughout the zoo so if you choose to feed you can use to your liking. Only sad thing I saw was little ducklings in the middle of the eagles nest. They do have dead animals for the eagles to eat, which is understandable, but ducklings? I hated witnessing that. Still a pretty bird to see though. read more

One of the best zoos I have gone to. It is very walkable with a wide variety of animals. We maybe saw more animals in an AZ zoo, but it was difficult to find where things were and a lot of extra walking and tired kids. Chahinkapa zoo is a beautiful Gem in SE North Dakota! read more

This review is for the zoo, though the park itself is also nice to drive through. A bit on the small side, but a very manageable, very cool zoo that allows a great deal of interaction with animals. A number of them, such as the apex predators, are naturally off-limits, but there are a number of farm animals and birds that one can interact with, if desired. It's not a big city zoo, so those sensibilities and infrastructure are not to be found (this could do with a lot more shaded walkways and enclosures and in some cases, larger enclosures, for instance), but the entire thing can be navigated somewhat quickly and easily, which allows a great degree of time of focus on the more interesting specimens. It is also a very picturesque park, with numerous photo ops of not only the animals but several of the art pieces and sculptures dotting the area. Price here is very moderate and the staff was quite friendly. If you have the time and are in the area, this is a very worthy stop and is not bad to get to. read more

Lions and tigers and bears! Oh my! ...and alligators, bison, elk, eagles, orangutans and kangaroos! ....and I could go on! Noce little zoo with a great selection of animals.
