We went to Glowild at the zoo, and the bright balloons were larger than I expected. There are many throughout the zoo. I'd recommend going to the zoo at dusk so you can see the animals prior to when it's dark, and then you can check out the Glowild.

We thoroughly enjoyed the zoo. The animals were close enough to see and seems to have nice enclosures. We also did the glo wild and that added a lot to the experience

Me and my husband went for the first time to the Kansas City Zoo and the recently opened aquarium. When we entered, there was a sign for strollers, but nothing regarding motor scooters or anything for handicap people. We paid the extra to take the tram, the train and different other riding Modes of transportation. Online it lead you to believe that it’ll take you to each destination so it made you think that you could get around the zoo if you were disabled. Unfortunately, that was not the case. They do take you to destinations, but then when you get off at the destinations, there’s massive walking involved. They had no sign up saying that they rented mobility scooters and we didn’t find out they were available until way too late in the day. One of the most surprising things was the bathroom situation at the aquarium. We’re from Springfield, Missouri and we are not a custom to bathrooms that anybody can go into. My husband was at a urinal relieving himself when a young girl and her mother walked in. He first thought they had walked into the wrong bathroom. He was horrified and quickly zipped up and got out of there as quickly as he could. After exiting, he saw that it was a bathroom that anyone can go into. I Find this disturbing on a lot of levels. And it has nothing to do with being homophobic or against transgender or whatever. To me a bathroom is a private matter and as a female, I do not want to be in the bathroom with a male or vice versa. My husband said it made him feel like a pervert and a pedophile with a little girl walking in there while he is relieving himself in plain sight of a child. That’s just a haven with a big huge honking sign inviting pedophiles to lurk in those bathrooms like that. They need to have a men’s bathroom and a women’s bathroom if they’re going to have a bathroom like that, we shouldn’t be forced to go into a bathroom, we don’t feel comfortable going into. If they had a bathroom for men only and women only it was obscured and not in plain sight. They did have a family bathroom, but we did not see any other kind other than that one and the one that anyone could go into. Needless to say, our overall experience was not pleasant. It would be nice to have the option of going in an all women’s or all men’s bathroom. And it would be nice if they would have a sign up when you first walk into the zoo that they rent mobility, scooters for disabled people.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we are sorry to hear you did not have a good experience at the Zoo.

The bathrooms in the Aquarium are all single stalls and have doors on each one of them to allow guests to have privacy. If guests would prefer another restroom, there are several across the Zoo. There are gender specific bathrooms in several of our other buildings including Penguin, Tuxedo Grill and Tropics all within walking distance of the Aquarium, as well as private restrooms in areas like the Elephant Expedition.
We do hope you return in the future and have a better experience.

This zoo is big but they offer several ways to get around...tram, boat, and skylift. Loved the freeroaming areas, but very people oriented. They were doing a lantern event so the zoo was extra comfortable. We had a great time and saw many animals.

We spent all day visiting. Be prepared to walk. It's a different kind of zoo. It doesn't have much in the way of buildings except for a new aquarium which was nice. A lot of the lower half of the Zoo is dedicated to large savannah like enclosure. All this is great for the animals. We took the tram to the savannah part and were glad at the end of the day that we did. Free parking.

If you're a fan of zoos, this one's for you. The Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium is a great choice. It's similar yet different than St. Louis. I believe it's Missouri's largest. Nevertheless, it was a fun day of animal observations that the whole family seemed to enjoy.

The KC Zoo packs a mighty punch with varied animals and habitats. It is laid out like many zoos with sections of the world represented in a natural path around the facility. (One thing to note is to check with guest services to see if any animals in the Africa section are not outside in cooler temperatures. That is too long a walk to be disappointed, but worth it if everything is out.) High points are the tropics (smaller building with several monkey species, otters, birds, and porcupines), the sea lion show (currently under renovation but opening soon), and a gigantic African plains area with tons of different animals in one place.
Would highly recommend the sky tram over the African plains area. Relatively quick ride, but do the round trip - otherwise you'll either miss half of the African animals or have to double back. If you eat lunch at the zoo - do it at Bluey's. The food is nothing special, but the overlook is where the kangaroos hang out. They are free to roam basically anywhere in that area, so it can be fun to watch that while enjoying lunch.
The aquarium has opened since I visited and I will be going back to see what that entails. Looks like a good sized exhibit with varied species.

Went with my wife because she has been begging me to go. Most of the zoo looks poorly maintained and a lot of the animals appear extremely depressed.

Hardly saw any animals yesterday and it wasn't a very hot day. Even taking the tram to Africa, there is still way to much walking.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate your feedback. We are sorry to hear you did not see as many animals as you were hoping to see on your visit, we are home to nearly 10,000 animals representing over 400 species so we do hope you are able to return and are able to see more animals on your next visit.
Our animals are generally more active when the temperatures are more moderate, which makes spring and fall the ideal times for a visit. During warmer months, getting an early start and visiting in the mornings when it's cooler will give you the best chance of seeing animals when they’re most active. During the winter months, check out all the indoor exhibits: Helzberg Penguin Plaza, Tropics, Discovery Barn, Orangutan Canopy, Snakes, Polar Bear Passage, and Sobela Ocean Aquarium.
If you have any additional feedback or recommendations, don't hesitate to reach out to us at askthezoo@fotzkc.org.

A great zoo. Nice animal exhibits. Friendly staff. Plenty of food and beverage locations. Always get a Kona Ice! 😂 The African Sky Safari provides a great view of the "African plains." Looking forward to the new aquarium opening September 1, 2023.
