I love that they started an early morning free admission walking club and I know a lot of people who have made use of that. The special events (Boo at the Zoo, Asian Lights, etc.) have been well done and I can only imagine are a boon to the institution. Last year, my sister and some friends and I did a group photo shoot at the Zoo while they had a cross-property dinosaur exhibit on display to wrap up her bachelorette weekend, and it was a fun silly time. Worth a visit, with or without kids. There is something for everyone to enjoy here.

Zoo Lou! The zoo is…read morea great place to visit! The Louisville zoo delivers in all kinds of ways. You can choose to buy tickets on line or in person. Make sure and purchase a membership if you visit the zoo lots. The parking can be purchased when you buy tickets, it's the easier way. After purchasing tickets, remember that it's hot and humid here . The best habitat to visit is the bird sanctuary. The humidity is high here and it's counterproductive with all sorts of ways of keeping it cool. The bird here will talk and communicate with one another. It's a great way to see the intelligence of these creatures. Most of the larger species of animals have issues dealing with the hot and humid conditions that the summer temperatures have here in the Midwest. The zoo does a great job at keeping their habitats cool and close to their natural environments. The zoo has all sorts of different kinds of wildlife to visit. The diversity of the animals are represented here by the zoo and all its wildlife partners and programs. We enjoyed the Lou Zoo and will continue to return . As the conditions of the seasons change the animals will change as well. We will need to come back and see how they have grown . Until next t

We had heard great things about this zoo and were eager to visit. That finally happened over the…read moreLabor Day weekend. First, this zoo is very large in terms of walking time and animal exhibits. It's very spread out, meaning lots of walking to see it all. We welcomed that, as more space equals more animals. The first thing that we saw and really liked was the Cheetah experience near the beginning. A quick 15-minute show that showcases a porcupine, serval cat and two cheetahs. The seating area fills up quick so be sure to arrive a good 15 minutes before the start time if you want a seat with good viewing. Another cool exhibit that I really enjoyed was the small cat house that was entirely in the dark. Only dimly lit, this was a unique look at many small species of cats that thrive nocturnally. I've seen many of these cats before, but never in a dark exhibit like theirs. It's very cool. One thing that was a head-scratcher was the number of exhibits that said 'closed' or 'animal not for view today' (or something like that). There were far too many exhibits like this, and that's what drove our experience down. The Australia exhibit was also a disappointment. One kangaroo, and he was in the housed area. No other animals in the open area after walking down there, and only penguins on the other side. I've been to small zoos with a far better Australia presence. I don't want to knock this zoo too hard, it's a good zoo with a lot to see and do. I would say my rating is more based on comparison to other zoos of this size and even smaller.

The zoo isn't large, but it's big enough to spend a morning or afternoon there as a family. If you have mobility issues, golf carts are available for rent, but if you're in good health and wear the right shoes, you can easily walk and cover the whole zoo. The zoo has a few hills (it is Kentucky) so do wear comfortable shoes and prepare to walk unless you rent a golf cart. My favorite parts were petting the kangaroos and also seeing the sheep dog demonstration. Do pay attention to the times for demonstrations and animal shows; they are worth seeing and the times are a bit limited. You can also feed the goats and interact with the animals, which I enjoyed. We also toured the underground cave, which was a lot of fun but involved a lot of steps. Some of the steps were wet and steep, so be aware of that if you have mobility issues. If you're a parent of young kids or a person who enjoys animals and nature, Kentucky Down Under Adventure Zoo is a great attraction and worth a visit. It's not too far of a drive from Bowling Green, and a lot of schools and summer day camps visit on field trips.

Looking for something new and different to do for Wifey's birthday, we ended up making a trip to…read moreHose Cave, KY, and our first stop was Dutch County Safari Park. I'd driven down I-65 and seen the signs enough to know that it'd be a cool, fun place to visit. Located no far off of the expressway, Dutch County Safari Park is easy to find (just follow the signs). There isn't so much a grand entrance as there is a road the empties out to the large parking lot. The admission fee (roughly $18 per person) is reasonable. One the morning we went there were a lot of kids (and associated families), but that's to be expected, given this attraction is family and education based. The hay ride is the star of this show. You'll be driven by a tractor through the open field. You'll encounter zebras, camels, oxen, ostriches, and many other animals. Each person gets a bowl of feed, and these animals are absolute pros at eating as much as they can as the hay ride slowly makes its way through the park. There is a petting zoo with goats that's kind of fun. One of them tried to eat one of my show laces. There are a few indoor exhibits with rabbits and monkeys and a few other animals and a gift shop. It's easy to miss if you don't explore a bit, so keep your eyes open. This attraction is run by an Amish family, and I think that it's rather neat that the offer this to the public. Our visit lasted a little over an hour and was an hour well spent in the hot July sun. Most of the park is well-shaded, but bring a hat just in case.

We were in the area on a crappy rainy weekend looking for something to do. We thought we'd take a chance on the Kentucky Reptile Zoo. I was impressed with the diversity of reptiles they had, especially for being so remote. I was also really impressed with the staff. It's obvious to see how much they love their jobs and care about all the animals. We were lucky to have been able to see a venom extraction. It was very interesting and informative, and the seasoned vet performing the extraction was very open and willing to answer questions any of us had. They're doing really great work at the KRZ, with a lovely and passionate staff. I would definitely recommend it!
