‪Great Day at John Ball Zoo‬

‪We had a wonderful time at the John Ball Zoo. Buying your ticket online is key to not having to wait in those long ticket lines! We also brought our lunches for the visit since the food costs are not reasonable; there are plenty of areas to sit down and enjoy your lunch. This zoo is not a very large zoo but they do have a lot to offer. The kids petting zoo with the goats and free roaming kangaroos is very fun for kids. They also have a learning experience time with a zoo keeper, who explains various aspects of the zoo and their animals. It is a climb to walk to the top of the zoo, but you can take a trolley train down to the bottom once you are finished with visiting the red pandas at the top. If you are in the area John Ball Zoo is a great place to visit with kids, expect about 2 hour time visit. P.S. The best restrooms are at the top of the zoo :-)‬

‪Halloween 2021...‬

‪We visited the zoo during their annual night time Illumi-zoo Halloween events....incredible lights, and displays, as well as treat stands! Grandparents, parents, and toddler were all very impressed and had a great time...highly recommend this! A definite must see for kids and adults alike! It is a bit hilly so wear your walking shoes...lol.‬

‪Spring break fun‬

العائلة •

‪We went for the afternoon during Spring Break. It wasn’t very warm so there so it wasn’t very busy. There is a lot of space to walk around. The map was a little confusing and we ended up backtracking. One of the workers Abby was in the monkey house and the goat area. She answered ALL the questions my 6 year old had, and he loved it! Looking forward to seeing the new Koala house and the hippo habitat. We will be back!‬

‪Watch actual footage shot of this zoo‬

‪So my favorite animals to visit were the red pandas followed closely by the meerkats! There are also lots of activities available for kids.

I took a lot of footage during our visit at the zoo. This gives you a better feel for the layout, activities, etc.
Check out my YouTube review and informational video on my channel Mary Beth's Midwest Adventures. I also have an entire series dedicated to Grand Rapids. Hope you find it helpful!‬

‪Beautiful maintained zoo‬

‪As a GR local we became members several years ago and have never regretted it. We visit the zoo several times a year now and the membership is worth it for our large family. The recent remodel has really shaped out. The care shown for these animals is astounding. If you go in the summer I recommend going early in the am before it gets too hot. Otherwise skip lunch time because most animals are napping. JBZ puts on several events that are well run including princess day, superhero day (our favorite), wizarding weekend and even special nights for adults. ‬

‪Average explains it well‬

‪The highlights - It isn't overwhelmingly big. Otters are particularly fun. Impressive LEGO animal creations are spread around the entire zoo, a highlight for the kids and great spots for photos. The lowlights - There aren't a lot of impressive animal exhibits. Even some of the common zoo animals are not there. It feels like they are trying to sell something every 50 yards or so, which definitely doesn't help with young kid behavior.‬

‪An Underwhelming Experience Once Again‬

الأصدقاء •

‪Over the past 40 years, I have always wanted the John Ball Zoo to be better than it was given its location in a large metropolitan area. However, in spite of ongoing “improvements” the zoo experience remains poor. Our group of 6 adults and 5 children arrived at 11 a.m. only to be greeted by Disney-sized line waiting to buy tickets: Everyone stood in the hot sun for 30 minutes while one person in one ticket window slowly issued tickets. We immediately went to the tiger area to get pizza: There was another long, slow line and . . . while waiting for another 30 minutes, the zoo’s internet failed so it was cash only. The food service employees generally appeared harried or care-less. And, guess what, too few restrooms designed poorly so yet another long line. After mostly waiting in lines, time was growing short to see the exhibits. The animals were mostly hiding out so we saw the back of a bear, the foot of a porcupine and otters having a siesta. There were empty exhibits and cages that must be 50+ years old.‬

‪Small but unique‬

العائلة •

‪Let me start off by saying we are from Chicago so compare all our zoos to the Chicago zoo. This zoo was small and in a mountain like area. I actually really liked this. It was really creative how they put the exhibits in. I felt like the animals they had were decent but no show stopper exhibits.‬

‪Nice little zoo‬

‪This is a nice zoo that can be walked in about two hours. There was a cool lego display throughout the zoo. They have a nice collection of animals. My only negative is I think some of the enclosures need to be made bigger. There was some construction going on so maybe they are making the zoo larger. There are hills so be ready to climb a little to get to some of the exhibits. There is a funicular if you want to wait for it and it costs to ride it up and down. We were there first thing in the morning so it wasn't too crowded. The downside is the food places don't open that early. We were able to watch the penguins get fed which was fun!‬

While researching the area because we're interested in seeing this zoo and the Pubic Museum, we read that Grand Rapids has an extremely high crime rate compared to the rest of the state and country. Is it safe to stay overnight in the area or even visit during the day?

Grand Rapids is a huge area and just like any area It depends on where you stay. I personally have walked around downtown Grand Rapids and stayed downtown. Some areas have higher crime then others. Near the Zoo or even public museum I would feel perfectly safe. There is always people walking around both those areas as well.

Is this like the Joe Exotic or Doc Antler zoos where the animals are abused and tiger cubs are killed once they are too old to have their picture taken? Or do they not breed their animals or keep all that are born? Thanks,

It’s a very nice zoo kind of built into the side of a big hill so there is a lot of walking I would definitely take the trolley but they definitely take care of the animals and everybody’s caring. I would definitely recommend going there it was a lot of fun
