Awesome zoo that has great exhibits. I love that theb city bus takes you right to the door almost. Bring your own food and snacks. Also members of the community on the SNAP program get in for 5 dollars, awesome that there is not a pay wall preventing people from visiting a place that is great for mental health.

All the animals were so active, healthy, and beautiful! The grounds & restrooms were clean, and well kept. It was a rainy day and although we got rained on a time or two, there was plenty of coverage to run under and watch an animal while we waited. We loved visiting here!

Had a wonderful Saturday exploring the Sedgwick County Zoo with two friends! We booked our tickets online, which I highly recommend—it was simple and saved us $25 total ($5 per ticket) compared to the gate price. The zoo itself is beautiful and was decorated with these incredible, giant animal lanterns from some kind of special event. The snow leopard and butterfly displays we saw were a magical touch and made the walkways even more fun. We spent most of our day exploring the Africa, South America, and Australia sections, and the habitats are truly world-class. A few tips for your visit: Arrive Early! The zoo is HUGE. We weren't able to see the North America section because we ran out of time. To cover everything without rushing, I'd say the best time to get there is between 10 and 11 AM. Check for Closures: We were disappointed to find the Cessna Penguin Cove was closed for maintenance. It’s probably a good idea to check their website before you go. Animal Naps are Real: It was a sunny day, so the lion and tiger were snoozing in the shade, and we couldn't find the red panda. It happens, but if you want to see them active, an earlier or cooler day might be better! Even with the few things we missed, it was an amazing day out. It’s a top-notch zoo and a fantastic value.

An amazing place to spend with family. Whenever we visit Wichita, my husband and I take our son to learn about the animals. The staff is very attentive. My husband lost his wallet, and we returned to look for it, when the Zoo was already closed. Fortunately, we found Stephanie and she was very kind to us. She contacted Security and that same night we were able to return home, which is almost 3 hours from Wichita. We thank you for bringing a piece of the world's fauna near us.

Pretty decent zoo. Its a tad pricey and they train is a total ripoff. You cant even see animals on it since it goes around edge of park. We enjoyed the zoo but it definitely has higher ratings than the actual experience.
