Acuario del Zoológico de Toledo

Experiencia fantástica: Love it here!

Experiencia positiva: Lots of anim a ls to see. You are able to feed giraffes and some other animals for s small fee. Zip line is over some of the animals. Reptile area closed for 2025 but looking forward to it in 2026.

Experiencia fantástica: For being an aquarium inside a zoo it's fantastic. So many different species, beautiful aquariums and setups.

Experiencia fantástica: Great zoo. Very clean place. Aquarium was so much fun. Great for kids and adults.

Experiencia positiva: Staff is amazing but I do wish the enclosers were bigger

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly atmosphere. Handicap accessible everywhere and very clean. Animals seem to be very happy. I love my zoo

Experiencia fantástica: It was very knowledgeable and informative and interesting

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome place and awesome experience. My family loved this Zoo!

Experiencia fantástica: Super nice with large exhibits, and a touch tank.

Experiencia fantástica: The aquarium was great and you could even pet the stingrays.

Experiencia fantástica: I always want the Toledo Zoo. It's one of the best in the country that I've been to

Experiencia fantástica: It rained all day but the animals were out.

Experiencia fantástica: We have a very nice aquarium. As a scuba diver, I would like for it to be bigger, and with more variety.

Experiencia fantástica: We visited on a Monday in mid-April 2025. We visited this after just visiting the Natural History Museum building and we did that in the wrong order. While the aquarium is very nice it just doesn't come close to the natural history museum. Kids had fun going around and looking at everything. We spent over 30 mins in here but went through a bit quick because we had spent too much time in the natural history museum and were trying to make up some time. There are some nice photo spots in the aquarium so make sure to stop and take photos. We also noticed that there were items in this little shop at the end that was not available at the main store at the front of the zoo. Unfortunately there was a problem with the register here and the line was super long so we figured we'd just pick it up on the way out at the bigger store BUT it turned out the bigger store didn't have the item that we wanted and we were not about to walk all the way back for it. So if you see something you like, get it and don't wait thinking you'll pick it up later. If we were at the zoo anyways, we would visit the aquarium again. I can imagine on a warmer day, it would be a great opportunity to get out of the sun and into an air conditioned space.

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful aquarium, you could spend a whole afternoon in there!

Experiencia negativa: It was okay. Small enclosures compared to other zoos I've visited. Everything costs extra. Want to see zebras or giraffes? Well you can use binoculars or pay to zip glide over there... Otherwise you won't see much! It was nice to get free entrance on mother's Day, but other then that it was just a money grab. ( Way worse then other places ) Probably will never come back.

Experiencia fantástica: World class zoo, great animal selection, beautiful and varied plants and flowers, friendly & knowledgeable staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Best zoo. Large variety of animals. Huge aquarium with a touch pool. Great for young kids and animal lovers.

Experiencia fantástica: Had a great time with my kid! Will be going to again.

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic place with the collection of so many rare corals and other sea creatures. You can even touch stingrays in a large tank. Kids will enjoy every exhibit

Experiencia positiva: It's probably better in the late spring earlier summer when everything's up and running There was a lot of construction. Mostly clean well-kept. The aquarium was very nice, avoid a flash on the camera. The tigers were looking good.

Experiencia fantástica: The Toledo Zoo Aquarium was fantastic. There was so much to see, and it was beyond our expectations.

Experiencia fantástica: It was freezing today, so a lot of the animals weren't out. We talked to several employees and volunteers who were knowledgeable and friendly. We had a good time, and we're already planning on going again this summer.

Experiencia fantástica: I always love coming to the aquarium! I can't believe it's already been 10 years since the remodel. It's such a beautiful space, and so well designed. I love the touch-tank and the separate space for the "flashlight" fish.

Experiencia fantástica: It’s was fun even though it was 20 degrees. It was orchard week.

Experiencia fantástica: It was very busy while we were there, but we visited during the lights at Christmas so it was expected. It was hard to navigate a little with our stroller, but that was just because of the crowd. Facility is great.

Experiencia fantástica: Didn’t see this coming Just a hop skip and jump from Detroit, this is by far the best zoo around. So many attractions and other things to do. They even have frozen Jack Daniels slushes for us adults out here. We went around the middle of October and boy what treat Great exercise and great site seeing. Once again stay active and get those steps in and remember to #keepemthirsty

Experiencia fantástica: This is a great zoo. We were able to take the grandkids on the younger kids pumpkin path. They enjoyed dressing up and then trick or teasing around the zoo. All while taking in the animals and the carousel and train. Ember week was staffed and organized. The kids loved it!!

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice Aquarium on the Toledo Zoo. Nice serine setup. Places to sit and admire sealife.

Experiencia fantástica: We bought a membership and have been twice. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, answering kids' questions in a way they can understand but don't sugar coat it. It's open year round although many buildings are closed in cold months. We usually spend 3 to 4 hours there.

Experiencia fantástica: My family really enjoyed this Zoo

Experiencia negativa: We recently purchased a family pass, spending over $200 at the zoo altogether, and were looking forward to a fun day at the zoo. Unfortunately, within 15 minutes of arriving, the experience took a negative turn. A staff member, who appeared to be young and recently hired, aggressively yelled at my kids for simply leaning on a tree. Rather than approach the situation calmly, he shouted across the grass, puffed up his chest, and acted hostile towards me—right in front of my family. I understand the need to protect the park’s environment, but this level of aggression was completely uncalled for, especially in a family-friendly space. My kids were upset by the confrontation, and it almost ruined what should have been an enjoyable day. It's disappointing to encounter such behavior from someone representing the zoo. We love the zoo itself, but I hope management takes steps to address this situation and ensures that staff are properly trained to handle interactions with visitors in a respectful manner. If someone reaches out to resolve this issue, I’d be happy to update my review.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing place you actually get to touch stingrays in the tanks. Awesome time with the kids. Amazing always. Always recommend getting the season pass It's almost as much as going independently for a day with the kiddos!

Experiencia fantástica: Decided to jump into the car and drive to Toledo Zoo. Well worth the drive from Butler PA. Very nice Zoo and very clean. The staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: Such a great place to bring the family ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: First time visitor and now a lifelong fan! Took my niece and sister to the Toledo Zoo & Aquarium for the first time ever on Labor Day weekend and we had an awesome time. We arrived at the zoo around noon and were comfortably able to see everything we wanted to (at a somewhat leisurely pace) by closing at 5. The zoo was incredibly clean and well-kept, and the layout of the grounds made it easy to navigate as a first-time visitor. My niece really enjoyed the Natural History Museum that is also on the grounds, and I appreciated how the historic architecture was incorporated into the overall design - so there's a little something for everyone. Pricing was comparable to what you'd expect to pay at a zoo these days, and they had a ton of quality food items. Overall, I would highly recommend the Toledo Zoo & Aquarium. I definitely plan to come back soon with other friends and family!

Experiencia fantástica: Visit at least once a year when camping at Wild Wings

Experiencia fantástica: Really enjoyed coming to the Toledo zoo. Lots to do for the kiddos and the adults. Maybe just a hair better than the Detroit Zoo (I love the Detroit Zoo!). Make the trek! It was worth it!

Experiencia fantástica: This place is amazing. Went for the first time this past sat. The staff was friendly and was pretty clean for the amount of people there. Will most def be comming back here some day.

Experiencia fantástica: Great aquarium in a very nice zoo.

Experiencia fantástica: This zoo is beautiful! The staff was very nice and helpful. We had a great time.

Experiencia fantástica: Went to the Toledo Zoo this past weekend and had a blast! Can't say I'm a fan of the new metal detectors at the gate and bag checks, but it is what it is I guess. Employees were helpful per usual just wish more were scheduled at the concessions so the lines weren't so long. Love the new turtle pond by the butterfly house. Been a member for probably a decade and will continue on for the foreseeable future!

Experiencia fantástica: Always a treat to go to the Toledo Zoo, can never get enough of this place! Plus, there's always changes to their activities, schedules, and monthly specials. The aquarium is especially well built for the masses (great working AC for hot summers), immersive experiences for the kids and great platforms to take pictures with the fish (see pictures). We even got to see the baby elephant being very active and playful, and there's even a baby orangutan swinging about! My pictures are just the top of the iceberg - Just go and see for yourself! Warning for the budget enthusiast: food is about $9 for ONE hotdog, so fill up before you go!

Experiencia fantástica: Today we celebrated our daughter's 6th birthday here and we had a blast! Our catering staff member Melissa did an awesome job hosting and making this one of the most memorable birthdays Ever! Having a party here was totally worth the price.Thank you Toledo Zoo and Melissa!

Experiencia positiva: What you expect from a zoo in a city of this size. It was close to 90 out but the majority of the animals were up and walking around. The mustache monkeys and the baby elephant were my favorites.

Experiencia fantástica: Because of Dodge the Kodiak bear I quickly realized I am not the apex predator when backpacking in the Kodiak island. The genius of the Toledo zoo to have a sand box right in front of the bear exhibit window made a hole lot of since...use the little kids to draw in the bear. Oh and the giraffe love right in front of my kids....birds and the bees quickly switched to giraffe wrestling.

Experiencia fantástica: Such a nice zoo! The family enjoyed our time there!

Experiencia fantástica: This aquarium is totally worth your time if coming to this zoo. Absolutely beautiful fish and sea creatures.

Experiencia fantástica: It's always an awesome place to visit

Experiencia fantástica: I was highly impressed on how many fish they had at the aquarium very nice.

Experiencia positiva: Great time, a little costly on the food and souvenirs, but I think it's as to be expected. Maybe one suggestion would be to put a sign-up in the vacant animal areas and bring back paper maps!

Experiencia fantástica: Love this zoo. I bought a membership so I could come back whenever. Most of the animals were out and being social. The baby elephant and giraffe were adorable!

Experiencia fantástica: The Toledo Zoo is outstanding! We hadn't visited in years so decided to get a membership again and visit with teenagers. They made major improvements to the Museum and it is great! Love the snakes and reptiles upstairs! We will definitely be getting use of our membership! So much to do close to home.

Experiencia fantástica: This was so much fun. We enjoyed every minute of it.

Experiencia fantástica: Truly amazed, had a great time. Don't forget your sunscreen and a hat. Enjoy your trip. It's worth it ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: Great zoo- best around in my opinion!

Experiencia positiva: Lots of food vendors were closed. Not sure if it was due to staff shortage or the fact that it was 92 degrees and they anticipated less guests. Staff was friendly except for the woman at the giraffe porch. I get that you don't want people to experience a giraffe up close unless they pay 6 bucks to feed it, but she didn't have to be rude about it. Anyways, we got a pretty good photo of the giraffe that was indoors. Also, there is no real benefit to buying tickets on line, because you still have to go to the ticket booth to pay for your parking.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to see. Lot of nice things to see. Definitely recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: It's called one of the best zoo in US.

Experiencia fantástica: Such a fun place to go for people of all ages! Very clean zoo, love the exhibits and the animals looked very well taken care of. Staff was kind and the interactive events thet has placed around the park looked fun. Wish the ice cream wasn't so expensive though.

Experiencia fantástica: This place is amazing. I've been to the Detroit Zoo many times, but this is so much better. The weather wasn't the best and it was in early May --- so we had the place all to ourselves! However, even in a packed environment, I'm driving the extra 45min-hour more for Toledo Zoo. The main reason.. the animals are sooo close. There were only a few that you could barely see. Toledo Zoo is a must.

Experiencia fantástica: We always have a Great time at the Toledo Zoo! Every time you go there's something different to see, different animals are out or more active. The aquarium is always a favorite place to visit with its awesome touch tank and Beautiful fish!

Experiencia fantástica: Gosh we LOVE it here! We're from michigan and travel to this zoo when we feel like having a zoo trip! We bought the membership because after 2 visits it pays for its self!! They have a bistro in the zoo with amazing drinks and food! This zoo is one you HAVE TO visit!! Be prepared for atleast 3 hours of walking. Plus add more time for the super cool playground and water park!

Experiencia fantástica: We snoozed at the zoo with our Cubscout troop and had a great time! The staff was attentive and full of knowledge to field the many questions the scouts threw at them. We were able to get some special one on one time with various animals, including getting a special visit watching the new baby elephant! The scouts really enjoyed the activities planned, including making special enrichment treats that they were able watch the tigers enjoy the next day. Overall it was a great trip and we would do it again!

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely gorgeous. First time here and it did not disappoint. The animals were so active, and the enclosures were stunning. Touch pools with starfish, rays, and more. Beautiful anemone and coral. The art around the displays were also just lovely. Normally I wouldn't include this, but I would like to say they have probably some of the best public restrooms I have ever used.

Experiencia fantástica: The only thing I could ask for the price it would be a little bit more interaction with the zookeepers. Their job is amazing and they do amazing job but the public just needs more information about the animals that they have showcased so that's all I ask. Other than that, the zoo was amazing and I highly recommend seeing the animals in the atmosphere and going and making their own experience and memories. The costs are affordable so it's not just a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful set up. I like their 90,000 gallon tropical tank with sharks. I also love their sea turtle. I guess the sea turtle was in an accident before coming to the zoo and floats now. Its cute and nice that the turtle has a home

Experiencia positiva: A lot of the animales were not out, but the dchristmas lights are incredible! Highky recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: One of the best zoos we have been too. So much fun!

Experiencia fantástica: Outstanding zoo plan on spending 2 days here to truly see everything. The museum is pretty much a whole day. The staff was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. We purchased a membership because we know that we'll be back.

Experiencia fantástica: It was free day for seniors Didn't see where things were open for discounts at gift shops.

Experiencia fantástica: Love going several times a year. Thank you to all of you that work so hard , so my family and I have a day to enjoy together

Experiencia positiva: Wish they asked if you drove before paying for your tickets. Got charged for parking without taking a car.

Experiencia positiva: Super huge!!! Lots of walking but loved seeing all the animals and a chance to feed the giraffes. Family oriented and the staff was amazing

Experiencia fantástica: We love our Zoo. We Are Lucas County residents so we go on Mondays before noon for free day. We love visiting all the animals and getting snacks or even having a picnic at the zoo. My daughter loves the playground area and the splash pad.

Experiencia fantástica: So beautiful inside and great staff to ask about facts and information of the aquatic life. Also a great place to cool off after being out in the summer heat. Haha!

Experiencia fantástica: I love this place, so did my family. Will be visiting in future. Recommend for all to visit.

Experiencia positiva: You ever fond of the Zoo! It's the place to go. Kids will learn and enjoy. Good fun for adults as well. It's worth spending a few dollars.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience! Took our two grandchildren, and they had a great time exploring and learning about all the animals.

Experiencia fantástica: Fishing is frowned upon here. Its super expensive, But the animals were really neat to stare at.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely amazing experience and is definitely a great collection of animals.

Experiencia fantástica: The aquarium had some great creatures like moon jellies, sea nettles, spider crabs and flashlight fish, and a stingray petting area that's free!

Experiencia fantástica: Exhibits are large to let the animals roam but awesome ability to see the animals "up close".

Experiencia positiva: Was pretty nice. We went on a Tuesday so ot wasn't super crowded. The bathrooms were all kept clean, the staff was very friendly, got to see the polar bear cubs, and the young gorillas were playing together! My kids love it.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to go with your children, grandchildren, or just by yourself!

Experiencia fantástica: Definitely spent some time in here. Very cool experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Great zoo!! My family and I had such a great time. Definitely will be returning.

Experiencia positiva: One of the best zoos I have visited. We had a blast for my sons birthday! My only complaint is they should not be charging full price for entry in the early spring. Not all exhibits we're open, as well as all the food options and other buildings with attractions.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this place!! Always have a good time when visiting. It was a brisk day so the artic animals were out enjoying the weather.

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful zoo and aquarium with lots of exhibit for viewing

Experiencia fantástica: The aquarium is one of the best features of the zoo. I love the variety of animals they house and how hands on and interactive it is. The kids loved it and so did I!

Experiencia fantástica: One of the best parts of Toledo Zoo is its aquarium. Touch pool, interesting collection of fish and other sea creatures.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing! Would totally go again. They have a giraffe feeding experience that is only 5 dollars for a few pieces of lettuce. We took about 4 hours walking around the whole place and saw some animals that aren't at other zoos. We live closer to the Detroit zoo and choose to come to this one. Much better place. If you plan on coming two or more times for the summer a membership would be worth it.

Experiencia fantástica: Had a great day at the zoo. Perfect weather and the animals were enjoying it!

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful exhibits with happy, healthy animals. Loads of educational material. My partner and I spent a couple hours in the aquarium taking in every detail. I still look back at the pictures and videos and can't believe how beautiful it was! Really looking forward to going again.

Experiencia fantástica: The Aquarium was wonderful! Looking at the fish life was amazing. There's some areas that allow children to touch the fish , starfish, baby sharks , stingrays and many other sea creatures. The part that was truly a site to watch was the jellyfish swimming back and forth. The blue background and the orange color of the jellyfish made it just breath taken (see for yourself look at the pictures). Walking through the Aquarium is a peace of mind kind of moment. There are areas that you can sit and watch the fishes swim. The children enjoyed their time and couldn't stop talking about what all they had seen. By the end of the day, the ride home was quiet due to them having sweet dreams of all they had seen that day.

Experiencia fantástica: Toledo really has a top notch zoo. It is laid out very well. Loved all of the animal exhibits. The zoo is very clean, and the bathrooms are very well kept up on. All of the Staff members that we encountered were very Friendly and helpful. We also loved how awesome the aquarium was. Today was my Daughter's first time going to the zoo, and she had a great time. We bought a year pass, so we can't wait to come back and enjoy ourselves again!

Experiencia fantástica: This was our first time here and it was amazing! Pretty sure we didn't get to see ot all because of the amount of time we had but we liked it because you can actually get closer to the windows to see the animals compared to some other zoos and the aquarium with the sharks in it was really cool to see.

Experiencia fantástica: This place is great! I love the part that you walk above the sharks. I had read how this place is kind of small, but if you take your time, and look at everything they have it does not seem small at all. I want to go again soon.

Experiencia fantástica: We always love going there. Needed a little more time this visit but we will be back.
