I get it, the prices need to be on the higher side so they can make sure the animals are being well taken care of. We went on a very quiet Saturday, so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Staff were so friendly. This place would be great for a rainy day, but it was hard to stay couped up indoors when it was such a nice day outside. We were able to leave and have lunch else where (there was no cafeteria that I noticed on site), and we were able to come back after and hang out a bit more. The kids were not too impressed with the fish, but they LOVED the water table activity center. I'd recommend a visit at least once.

My excitement ended there. When we were checking in, we were offered military discount, yay! They tallied up the total and we paid for it. Then I noticed that there was no military discount added. It should be 10% off of admission. With 2 adults and 2 kids, it should be a little over $4 off. Yes, it's just $4 but everything little bit counts. When I brought it up, she kept saying "oh yea you're right, well you would only be saving $2" and brushed me off. That's not the point. The point is, they said I would get military discount and didn't get it. Also, 10% off of $43 is not $2... American Public education has left another student behind. She said she can't do anything because the manager is not present. Disappointed in the customer service. The lack of training. The lack of basic math. TIP: sign the waiver while waiting in line.

Let me start out by saying this is such a cute little zoo. My wife and I are up in the area for our…read morehoneymoon and decided this Zoo would be a fun place to visit. I guess we got lucky, and we actually got free admission due to a company sponsoring the first 100 visitors for the day. It was a cold rainy day so there were not many other visitors at the park with us. It was so neat to see a zoo mostly dedicated to the animals seen in New York State. With it being a rainy, cold day not all of the animals were out, but we were able to see most of them. Our favorite was the Wolverine who was doing lap after lap running around his enclosure. He would stop and say hi to us when we were near the fence, and then continue on doing his laps. We even stopped in the gift shop and got a wolverine stuffed animal. You could definitely tell that it has been some years since the zoo had had some renovations, but I think this is what I liked best about it. The zoo its self was nice and simple with an easy route to see all of the animals. I think if we are in the area again, and it is a nice day out, we would stop again.

My husband and I really enjoyed this place! We were greeted by staff immediately and were informed…read moreour admission to the zoo was sponsored by a local bank, so we were fortunate to not pay anything. The zoo has several different New York wildlife species which are all rescues from various areas. The animals are clearly well taken care of and the staff love them dearly. We appreciated that this was a New York State focused zoo, and we learned a lot about the animals that live around us. There were also many different reptiles including turtles and a snake. We loved the education geared towards the kids, and the entire zoo was decorated for Halloween which was tons of fun. The gift shop had tons of different items. Our favorite animal was the Wolverine, he ran multiple laps and was showing off for us. We had to get a stuffed Wolverine from the gift shop in his honor. We would love to return!

This year, they have said they aren't open due to not passing inspections. However, when the season ends, this place falls into disrepair so significantly that it looks abandoned for YEARS. Maybe ensure you are winterizing the area before the weather changes so you CAN pass inspections? Then, last year when we were there we listened to the employees ranting and cursing about the other employees and their hours/pay. The guy that was ushering us into the go karts was arguing with the girl doing tickets. He kept calling her a c****. Last year, we went once because of this. It wasn't a pleasant experience.
