Pueblo Zoo

Not a big zoo compare to San Diego zoo. It felt more a walk in a large park but with exotic animals which is a good thing. It was peaceful and we didnt fight any crowds. We came in the morning in time to actually see animals walking around. Very quiet zoo with a huge playground/​kiddie ride/​lake next door. There were also quarter dispenser of animal pellets to feed chicken, geese, and ducks. In the mornings you can get goat/​Llama treat to feed them with. All the zoo staff were polite and sweet. Good for kids or date options.

Small, but great zoo with really friendly staff. The otters and red pandas were particularly cute! Would spend 3 – 4 hours there; great for families. Highly recommend!

The Zoo!
Don’t expect your typical huge zoo filled with 100’s and 100’s of animals. Expect an awesome, exciting zoo filled with just enough!
I grew up coming to this zoo, and have been to the much larger zoo’s (Denver and San Diego) and this zoo is just perfect in my eyes! Especially for the price (Adults $ 10 Children $ 8)! At first I was like… the price didn’t match the size, but, the adventure and what you make of it makes it all worth it!
The zoo offers a wide array of different birds, farm animals, otters (including Thelma, the 3 legged otter!), peacocks, piggies, PENGUINS!, and so many more! Soon they’ll have the African Painted Dogs!
The zoo although small, hosts enough areas to enjoy the day with your loved ones. The facts for the animals are awesome, since you can actually learn about them and not just look at them and not know what their names are!
Now living in Vegas, I took the little zoo for granted and on our recent trip back, I sat back and had a great adventure with my little dude!
Come here for a clean and fun adventure!
Yay!

We spent a wonderful 4 hours exploring this small city zoo. You don’t have to feel rushed to get to the next exhibit. I saw a few animals that I haven’t seen at the larger zoos (Takin and loris anyone?). Bathrooms and drinking fountains are clean. It was a nice January day and the keepers brought out a chinchilla in an exercise ball and a hedgehog was sauntering near the entrance. These folks were friendly and accessible. The zoo is tucked in a city park with a playground, skate park, frisbee golf and tiny kiddy amusement park. Parking was easy and my husband was able to run back to the car and grab our picnic lunch. Our 2 teenagers enjoyed the gibbons, lemurs, squirrel monkeys and cockatoos.

Perfect zoo for a ½ day activity. Lots of shade. Bring a picnic lunch and cooler with drinks. Don’t have to worry about your kids running off. Got to see lots of animals up close. This is a small zoo, so don’t expect large animals.

Amazing! This zoo is extremely clean and well kept for the size. Great exhibits for everything and love that many fences are set low without barriers for the wee ones can see in. Can’t wait to come back again!
