Good zoo for adults, kids probably won't be too fond of the place since there aren't many animals. Museum had a lot of interesting facts, would recommend!
Museum and zoo are together. Three small buildings are well arranged and interesting. Just not on the trail of hiking.
Very beautiful and well managed It's a small zoo, which have few exhibits including injured animals. If you want to enjoy it, enjoy it for what it is without comparing with other zoo like Bronx etc.
Trail around the zoo is scenic, and the staff is very kids friendly.
The highlight of my cross country season. It's such a fun place to look at the animals and everything. It's a very enjoyable and such a fun day out! Recommended
It would have been nice except for everyone trashing the place. You can't walk 10 feet with seeing trash on the ground. A lot of the animal exhibits were closed. I can imagine when it was first opened it was amazing but now it seems like people come up from the city and trash it just like how the city has trash everywhere. It's really sad a lot of people don't have enough human decency to respect such a beautiful historical marvel.
Very sad! I think they missed the part of rescue with our wildlife and possibly became a place of neglect for these animals. Vultures are waiting! Animals are so sad and stressed. I'm shocked inspectors haven't closed the place down as far as wildlife goes.
Do visitors really not see this or are those sections closed so that only the hickers get a view of the truly sad part!
What kind of rehabilitation place is this???
Please let these animals go to a rescue zoos that knows how to take care of them.
Great small zoo that you can easily walk around in few hours and then enjoy park. I would highly recommend
Spent a good time with family. Bears are amazing, there are also some birds, beaver, lake and swimming pool. Very affordable !
I loved it because it's were I spend time with my family and we hike we swim at the pool and we love the awesome zoo
Meh. I really want to appreciate Bear Mountain's attempt at making a satisfactory zoological park, but I really cant. Enclosures are cramped, animals look pathetic and bored. Some were pacing which is a sign of stress. Also FULL of wild turkey vultures that are always, disgustingly and creepily, watching you. Overall, not a very favourable experience. I wish they got enough donations to put their time and effort into the zoo, rather than the hotel, which was always nice.
