This zoo, if you go in the early spring, is not as good as the Omaha, Topeka, or St.Louis zoos. It seemed like we would walk for miles and not see any animals. I have heard of other people going at different times of the year and having more luck.
- General Info
- The Kansas City Zoo was honored in "America's Best Zoos 2008" as one of the top 60 zoos in the United Sates and was ranked No. 1 in the nation for "African Animals and Exhibits." and ranked in the top 10 in the nation for "Australian Animals and Exhibits" and for "Pachyderms: Elephants, Rhinos, Hippos." In addition, famed ape expert Jane Goodall complimented that Kansas City has "one of the finest chimpanzee exhibits in North America." In fact, "America's Best Zoos 2008" ranked the Kansas City Zoo as the No. 1 zoo in the nation to see both chimpanzees and kangaroos. Now a 202-acre nature sanctuary, it is the most useful and accessible resource in the region for bringing urban and suburban families in touch with the diverse habitats, cultures and animals of the natural world. A visit to the Kansas City Zoo is a journey around the world, an interactive experience that utilizes all the senses to entertain, educate and engage visitors of all ages.
