My wife and I went on a field trip with our granddaughters kindergarten class. Several of the animals were not out in their enclosures due to some kind of reason to supposedly prevent an illness to the animals. The previous week we went to the Cleveland zoo. Every single animal enclosure had their animals in them. Absolutely a total disappointment! There was only one food vender open in the entire zoo. Cleveland had several. We will never go to the Akron zoo again. Cleveland is way less expensive to purchase tickets to get in.
Not sure how they could even charge to get in. All birds were not on exhibit because of the influenza that is going around, that I completely understand. But on top of that they had soooo many animals exhibits closed. Was not worth our time or money sadly.
We arrived with family and left exhausted! Had a great time taking in most of their animal collection. However, it was minus the penguins, flamingoes, and other wildlife that are affected by the bird flu. Most animals were displayed within viewing distance except the lions. Three hints. First, the modest train ride takes all of two-three minutes in a small loop and back. Don't expect it to last any longer. Second, the wind machine is three dollars for a few minutes but it's lots of fun. Third, most of their drinks around the park are $2.00 for a typical sized can of Coke and water. Too much if you ask me. The Merry-go-round does go for about five minutes. Gift shop items are expensive. You can get a stuffed animal somewhere else cheaper. Facilities are clean. Maps are clear.
Very few animals to see. Disappointed with my vidit
