Free zoo. Open hours vary according to season. Call ahead. Dogs are not allowed in the zoo. Monkey Island. 3 big black bears. Female mountain lion. Snakes, birds, burro....Beware of the swan in the pond. He will bite.
It is historic, in that the first monkey to go in outer space, the first American monkey, came from the Ralph Mitchell zoo in their collection.
This is a wonderful location and is free to boot. The grounds are large and well-maintained, including monkeys, and [mountain] lions, and bears, oh my! Accessible, free parking, and picnic and play-areas.
Wonderful Park & Zoo perfect for Children and Families. I highly recommend small train ride, miniature golf course, and taking your time to enjoy the fountain in the park.
Plus, it is located right next to another city park area with multiple attractions including a mini train which you ride for 25 cents per ticket and 18-hole putt-putt course. For 20 dollars and a picnic lunch your family can have a great outing in Independence at this place.
Always a fun place to take our littles. Love the zoo also!!
We were pleasently surprised by the zoo! It has a lot to offer and it is free. Our kids loved seeing the animals and getting to play in the little kiddie area. We will be returning!
