The Japanese garden is beautiful but small. Great place to picnic. There is a small zoo/carnival thing I'm sure meant for smaller kids. It was pretty empty when we went. There is a small fee per car and pets. Over all was relaxing and fun. read more

Sad how Micke Grove Zoo has changed and the Zoo has barely any animal's anymore Everything in the ZOO was closed and the GIFT SHOP unbelievable . San Joaquin county & Lodi what's really going on? Every food Court is closed except for the one in the carnival area (Rides). I was told by a worker that we can purchase a all day wrist band her knowing we had 3 kid's, So we went recently and I was told by the same woman NO we can't buy the wrist band we have to have 6 or more people! I was MAD Tell me the TRUTH the first time! The Japanese garden is always closed to the public because of Weddings! They should split it up but $$$ talks..... What a disappointment this is . It Isn't the same as when I was a kid read more

I just love what they've done to this place! Beautiful landscaping. Not far from large cities. Rental prices are decent. The new water features are spectacular. Oh the restrooms are clean, that's a huge plus. More memories to come from this place! read more

What an awesome park to go and spend the day. Many different play areas to play at then there's a Japanese garden, a small awesome zoo and a little amusement ride area. Many families were enjoying the day in the grass and using the play structures but it was never to busy or crowded so that was a huge plus. Plenty of parking and restrooms were easily located and clean. read more

A great park! Very large. We played disc golf Here and the course was awesome. Clear directions for baskets and tees and had a great time here on a Sunday. Got a little busy later afternoon, but overall nice place to play. $5 per car is worth the visit! read more

What a surprise! Road trip through California and looking for a place to stretch our legs and have a picnic lunch. We just happened to come to the sign for this place. It is well worth the $5 admission. This park really has it all. What a wonderful oasis. read more

A great treasure in such an unexpected area. They have a little zoo which is really cool an then there's all the playground areas an the Japanese tea garden. There's a golf course too but that's not really my thing. They have a place called fun. Town right next to the zoo. That place is really cool. Its a read gem of a find. They have all kinds of rides for a really cheap price. Its a small place but the fun sure isn't small. I think I went on at least 8 rides. It was lots of fun. Fun town is probably the funnest little town there is. I hope alot of people come an support this business. read more

This park is a real treasure. I have such fond childhood memories of this scenic spot and, at one time, knew every square inch of its grounds. As an adult, the fond memories continue! This is our go-to spot for large family gatherings and celebrations. The expansive, shaded park is the perfect location to grill some burgers and throw a frisbee around. Lots for the kids to do as well... the zoo, the kiddie rides, playgrounds, water park. Good times will be had by all! read more

Enjoyed the park for our family day....parking prices are a bit high, but they have to maintain it so it's understandable. We enjoyed a little bbq and let the grands play on the equipment. Nice shady areas which we were thankful for. read more

Great park! There's a lot to do for everybody - a Japanese Garden for a nice little calming stroll, a zoo, picnic areas for parties, a kid's area, playgrounds, and an area with water fountains where kids can splash around. read more

Five dollars for a full day of fun. We take my son here and he has a blast! The park is well landscaped and has many shady areas that are great places to picnic. They have multiple large play areas, climbing areas, ponds, Japanese Tea garden, picnic benches and sitting areas. They also have many horseshoe pits and disc golf course. My son and many people seem to enjoy the water area the most. The kids push a button and water comes up from the ground. Along with the zoo this a good place to spend 4-5 hours. There are a few great places you can take pictures for family reunions or get togethers. read more

This place is huge! I guarantee an open spot somewhere in this massive park. $5 to enter. They also have a zoo, a few snack stands, kiddy park with rides, playgrounds, auditorium (where we had the wedding reception, next to the Japanese garden). Only downside is the location - Lodi is 40 minutes away from downtown Sac. read more

You gotta pay to get in. We didn't do anything except go to the playground. This place is huge. I love all the trees and green areas and shaded pavilions More than one playground. I would hate it here in the summer and when it's crowded. read more

Good disc golf course with a ton of trees. I think I hit every tree there, just wish you didn't have to pay for parking.

The park is pretty huge and offers a lot of activities. The zoo being the most interactive (but there's another spot to review the zoo so I won't do so here). The price for parking is $6 on the weekends, but considering you could stay here all day it's not a bad price. I've definitely paid more for parking and had less fun at other places. There's plenty of trees for shade, plenty of picnic tables to spread out your lunch on, and its green and well-kept. It's a good place for kids, good place to kick back and relax, and just all around good for a Saturday trip. read more

Played frisbee golf at this location and there are 18 holes if you do the whole course! We had a lot of fun on Sunday at this location and will definitely come back to try another round! read more

Good morning, I just wanted to share a great minute in time...my son, daughter-in-law, myself and my 2 1/2 yr old grandson Ethan took our first trip to Micke Grove yesterday. I used to take my kids, and daycare kids, there when they were little, oh about 20+ years ago, and had wonderful memories of your beautiful park and many happy hours spent there. Ethan was so excited to see the animals and play on the equipment by the lemur area. BUT, when he saw the statues of William and Julia Micke on the bench, he stopped...stared... and climbed up to be next to Julia. He was totally enraptured by her persona. He kept hugging her, "petting" her gently, and commenting how nice she was. He noticed EVERYTHING about her, her smile, her eyes (which he said were blue :) her hands (and her ring) her jacket, hat, necklace...literally everything. And all said with the greatest affection...it was amazing, like he was waiting patiently for her to come to life, but was ok with her just sitting quietly. He invited us to "pet" her, too, and so we did. I was fascinated by his fascination with her, but I see what he saw. She must have been a wonderful woman, and the sculptor caught that perfectly. He liked William, too, but kept coming back to Julia. When we tried to lure him away, he cried, which tugged at the heartstrings. Finally, we were on the way, but only with the promise that we could visit again soon. Your third generation fan, Linda read more

Absolutely love this park! It's great for kids because there is no getting out. It is a secured fence park with admission to get in. Over the years the prices have been raised significantly but it can be worth it for the safety of children. Has a park, zoo, rides, water, baseball. Great park for photo shoots as well read more

It's a little hard to get a hold of the office via telephone so my husband & I decided to walk in to reserve a spot for our son's 1st birthday party. Ladies in the office were very friendly & helpful! Gave us all of the information needed. They let us drive around the park and decide on which available rental we would like best. The prices aren't bad either! Price depends on which rental you decide to get. The day of the party was a success! Someone comes & turns on the power and then you don't see them again until the end of the party. Unless you call for someone. Everything worked. All of the outlets had power. Sinks were clean and had running water. Bathrooms were clean & fully stocked with toilet paper. We will be renting a party spot here for future events! read more

The perfect setting for all of your events...we had a wedding reception here & it was wonderful. The bride & groom chose the Stanislaus Picnic area. It was tucked away from the rest of the park & very private. The cost was budget friendly and everyone raved about the location. We had about 175 at the event & the area was ours from the opening of the park until closing. The weather was perfect. Parking was available at a discount to the guests and they were very accomodating with our vendors for pick up & delivery. read more

I love, love, love this park! We only live down the road from it and for a $5 entrance fee it's worth it. Never crowded, almost every time we have been we have the playground to ourselves! Lodi doesn't have many parks and the ones they do have aren't great at all! So to pay a little extra we get to walk to a nice sized lake look at the ducks, go to one of the playgrounds, walk around in the Japanese garden and in the summer play in the little water area. The zoo is really small better for younger kids. We've been atleast 30 times to mickeys Grove and the amusement rides area is never ever opened so we never been to that area. That would be my only complaint is they should have it opened more often my kids would enjoy it! Our go to park definitely! read more

Paid $6 to get in after asking about Japanese tea garden. Girl gave us map but didn't know where it was. We said we came to see that. When we parked and walked up some rude park woman told us we could not go in. Because the tea garden is closed all summer for weddings!!!! Rise garden is a joke. $5. To go to zoo. Don't waste your time read more

Great park! This park is huge! There's plenty of parking, picnic areas, and play structures. I haven't gone to the zoo yet or tried the ride area. I walked through the ride area and it has some very old rides. Some were under repair, but I'm sure they'll be up and running when the weather gets better. The kids that I saw were having a great time & that's all that matters, right? read more

Nice hidden park with an abundance of amenities for the kids. The parking is fairly cheap and can house plenty of picnic areas for those to celebrate special occasions or just have a family outing. They have a small zoo and amusement park with rides for your kids. A little pricey but tolerable. The picnic areas have your first come first serve, and your huge reservation areas for larger gatherings. They also offer frisbee golf area and a full golf course next door. Did an early Easter with the fam to avoid the Sunday crowd. Typically the weekends are naturally the busiest but lucked out this weekend. I was truly amazed on how big the park was and was slightly lost given the maze of a parking lot they had. You can see all of the sites as you drive through. Glad to venture out more with the fam and see what the valley has to offer. read more

Great park. Big, green grass, lots for the kids to do

Very spacious area and plenty of parking. There are a lot of shade trees to help with the heat during the summer. Just wished there were more birds around the area. Guess they were scared off by the animals in the zoo. read more

Great park and a must see Japanese garden. Great for any occasion. Part of San Joaquin richest historical places and the zoo is a great one for nor cal oh I almost forgot it's very nice full golf course if you love golfing don't skip this one up! !!! read more

If you use this location for a party do not rent from funworks event and party rentals Ben though they have insurance through the park. They are horrible, their stuff broke and they picked it all up 3 hrs early and the park people know them and don't care. read more

BEWARE!! I visited fun town at micke grove on march 16,2014. I used a credit card that had not been used in 3 months to purchase ride tickets for my children. A white looking male 20-30 years old with dark brown curly hair aprox 5'10" to 6' tall was working the booth when i made my purchase. Monday night a mcd's purchase was made and an attempted $700 charge at wine country casino in lodi was made. I cannot be certain but since this is the only place i used my card and then it was used at places i have never been when i was 100+ miles away i am 99% certain that man stole my credit card information. When i called to let the micke grove staff know what had happened i was told i could drive back and speak with a manager! Unreal!! Beware!! If you want to go leave you valuables at home and only use cash. read more

We met some friends here for a picnic. What a pleasant surprise. The park is quite large and very well maintained. There is a zoo, tea garden, small museum, amusement park (a little pricey on this one) and several areas with play structures, ranging from "nice" to "wow". There a re several large open fields, perfect for frisbee or tossing around a ball. Very family friendly! read more

When I was 5 my grandpa took me here all the time. For me this was better than an amusment park because it has a zoo. When I have kids I will make sure they come here as well. I never new how big it really was until I got older and realized I was only taken to the zoo and on some of the rides. read more
