What visitors say

Raptors in Flight – On another visit we watched the Raptors in Flight show, where keepers introduce the zoo’s resident birds of prey and demonstrate their impressive flying and hunting skills.

The enclosure seemed nice for the gorillas, and I enjoyed watching the silver-back walking around.

I think the Woodland Park Zoo is a really well-done park – the exhibits feel like natural habitats, the animals seem really healthy, and we almost always have a number of great sightings.
