Jacksonville Zoo is probably one of the best zoos I've visited in Florida. Everything is very well…read moreput together, and the amount of activities and animals to see is amazing. There's something for everyone, and you could easily spend several hours exploring. The reptile exhibit is definitely my absolute favorite. The variety of reptiles and the way the exhibit is set up makes it a must-see, especially for fellow reptile lovers. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be back!

I really hate leaving this negative review because I genuinely appreciate the role zoos play in…read moreconservation and education. That's why I was so disappointed by this visit. I hadn't been to the Jacksonville Zoo in years, so I was excited to see all the renovations. While the grounds look nicer, it also felt like there were far fewer animals than I remember. I was not able to find a several favorites, including the gorillas, cheetahs, and Florida panthers, and quite a few exhibits felt empty. I know animal collections change over time, but it just didn't feel like there was nearly as much to see. I was also disappointed to hear the koi fish had been transferred to another zoo since they were always one of my favorite stops. For me, the biggest issue was the value. Ticket prices have gone up, but I left feeling like I paid more to see less. The highlight of our visit was the people. The volunteers in the jaguar and rhino areas were incredibly knowledgeable and made those exhibits so much more interesting, and a staff member from a bird enclosure remembered us when we ran into them later in the day at the stingray exhibit. Those interactions honestly saved the experience. I have so many great memories of visiting this zoo growing up, which is probably why this visit was so disappointing. I really hope they continue adding to the animal collection because I'd love to have a reason to come back.
