Tons and tons and tons of Kids - We assumed it was a Field trip day for local schools because the amount of kids was crazy, along with that you have extremely loud screaming or crying or giggly groups, long lines, and adults searching and yelling for missing kids, and with that came lost lunch bags and forgotten coats.

I've been to several zoos and this one is one of the nicest ones I've been to. There are alot of animals and all are very well cared for and their habitats are nice. The areas you walk through are pretty, nicely landscaped, lots of greenery. It is crowded but the paths are wide and it is easy enough to... More

I've been to quite a few zoo's over the years, and this was not impressive. The animals are always great, but that fact that my family went on a Monday morning in the beginning of May, was a huge disappointment. Only one restaurant was open (out of the five in the zoo.) The train that goes back and forth for... More

While vacationing in the Pacific Northwest, we took a day and went to the Oregon Zoo in Portland. We took advantage of Second Tuesdays, where on the second Tuesday of the month, general adult admission is just $4 (instead of $10.50). We arrived just a few minutes after 10:00 in the morning, and the parking-lot was filling fast. It was... More

This was a fun little zoo. The giraffe and elephant babies were adorable. Wish the habitats were a little bigger for some animals. Overall though, good variety, well laid out, makes a fun afternoon.

We are members of the Zoo so we go as often as we feel like seeing the animals. A new baby elephant is sure to be a welcome addition. It is a little hilly which makes walking a challenge if you are disabled. But the varied terrain adds to the feeling that you are in a real park.

A few of my friends and me went here a few months ago and it was great! Perfect for a family vacation. Every person that visits Portland should go to the Oregon Zoo!

We've been long time members of the zoo; I think our first family membership was when the babies were, well, babies. Now they're in middle school and high school. And I have to say, every single time we go (and the babies still like to go), we see something exciting. Wrestling bears, mama otter teaching little "Mo" how to swim,... More

I enjoy going to the zoo every time. The zoo is always trying to improve the experience by always improving all of the exhibits.
