Love love love ZooTampa! Since moving to FL we’ve bought an annual membership, and it’s been so worth it. I love that we can take a guest for free each visit (we’ve utilized that several times with family members visiting). Lots of animals to see and get up close to. I really enjoy the fact all the rides for the kids are included for the entrance price. (It’s nice to be able to allow my kids to go on them without shelling out more money). The wooden playground is also fun for the kids as well as the splash pad. The big water ride is a fun way for the whole family to cool off too. One of our favorite activities is touching the sting rays and walking through the aquarium and manatee area. Overall just a super fun place for the family. There’s something for everyone, no matter the age. Also their various events (recently dinosaurs alive and “Christmas in the wild”) are such cool things to attend as well!

Pretty good zoo, the staff was super intelligent and knew their animals well. The backstage / behind the scenes tours that we did were unfortunately kind of underwhelming. While they were incredibly educational and gave us a closer look at the animals, it wasn’t nearly as exciting or as up close as it seems based off of the front entrance descriptions. We did the manatee hospital and the elephant tours. The manatee hospital was adorable but it was fairly hard to see the babies most of the time. I understand that distance and safety are both required but there should be a better way to view them since they are the central part of the tour. The elephant tour was mostly just a “stand here, get a photo taken, watch the elephant train while we tell you facts, questions, leave” sorta deal. It was very quick and while I immensely enjoyed being near such an amazing animal, I was kind of disappointed at the lack of interaction between us and the elephant. Minus those things, this park is beautiful, clean as can be, and clearly everyone who works there loves the animals as if they were their own. I loved seeing how passionate the tour guides and employees were about the animals and their jobs.

Very impressed with this zoo! It was our first time and we loved it. They have free rides for kids, lots of animals and I love how they had it decorated for Christmas We paid for a day pass and are able to go back again free for a year. That's incredible!! It's definitely a must go and check out for yourself. You won't be disappointed!

We always have an amazing time here. I highly recommend the Annual Pass. We use it often. Be sure to check out the other zoos, aquariums, museums, etc. that offer some form of reciprocity too. Zoo Tampa is one of the best in the country in my opinion. The orangutans are my favorite, my son loves the wild dogs, my daughters are all about anything in the water! The kids really been into watching Zoo Tampa on Netflix (over and over) so on this day it was an extra special treat to see one of their favorite “stars” in action. “Hi, Dr. Lauren!”

This is a very good size zoo with beautiful foliage and landscaping. Very impressive Manatee hospital with up close encounters with the injured creatures. The Orangutan space is fantastic and they were wonderful to watch. Good food in the snack bars and great service. Good Covid precautions with masks and social distancing. Lots of birds exhibits and the Komodo dragon was a hit. Very large kid play area with rides and fun stuff for all ages.
