Was great! Went there with some friends and even though there weren’t a lot of animals out due to weather conditions we still got to see what we went to see!

I love to go in the gift shop. There are so many cool things that are different than anything you'd find someplace else

It has been ten years since the last time I have been to this zoo. I just went today and it was really nice. One thing I would recommend is misting water for super hot days. Omaha zoo does this and it is great.

Very small zoo and they came and got me while i was inside with my family to move my vehicle. I parked where they told me to. My kids were upset when i returned. The zoo staff had a negative effect on my trip. Some staff was nice, cages were clean, and animals looked happy/healthy.

Are you at the Zoo? Do you need a gift for someone that has to do with animals? Is your child demanding a keepsake they'll never look at the day after your visit? Do you have extra money you should be using to pay bills but pushing those to the back of your mind? Then you should absolutely pop in and buy something.

Online said it was $12 but we got there it was $14. I felt like I had to pay two extra dollars for exercise.On the real though, it was a cute, quaint zoo. Recommend if you're in the Des Moines area.

We started taking our daughter since she was 2 and she loves it. They have something for everyone and a best way to learn about animals. 😀

I hav been here before but this day was extra special because I brought my 7yr old son,who was having a really rough start to the day,and also a family friend was visiting and even though he is 50yrs old He's never been to this zoo,mostly due to financial issues so had thought the zoo a luxury since it can be as costly as a day at Adventureland if ur not careful!Well, I thought,why not scramble money together so all of us could go and I bought the all- included rides for my boy cuz I knew he would have a special day that he and our friend deserved and THANK YOU,Blank Park Zoo for giving us all of that and more:)😊

Very small zoo especially for the price, most exhibits were closed. Can't bring in any outside food or drinks which makes for an expensive visit especially if you are not a member.

It's a small zoo with a small gift shop. There arent a lot of educational materials or much variety, but is fun for kids and there are plenty of stuffed animals and t-shirts.

I was hoping to buy actual animals from the gift shop but alas they did not sell them there. So instead I was stuck with an overpriced stuffed toy that was not even close to the size of the actual elephant.

Loved this zoo. Exhibits are close together, shady, clean walkways. No elephants though 🐘

Have everything you could hope for in the way of souvenirs for all ages. Service could be a little bit better though.

Small size zoo, many things to see. Some things still needed to entice people.
