My kids loved seeing all the animals, the coolest part was when we were looking at the wolves and an ambulance went by the wolves all started howling. It was so cool to see ans hear them. Obviously this is not a normal occurrence, but just seeing the animals would have been enough.

Our visit to ZooAmerica in Hershey, PA, was truly memorable, filled with exciting activities and fascinating wildlife encounters. The diverse range of exhibits and engaging displays ensured that there was never a dull moment during our trip.

One of the highlights was spending time observing the playful otters. Their energetic antics and underwater acrobatics provided entertainment for visitors of all ages. The bear exhibit was equally impressive, allowing us to witness these majestic creatures up close and learn more about their natural behaviors.

The wolf exhibit was a definite standout, offering a unique and captivating experience. The wolves' presence was both powerful and intriguing, providing insight into the beauty and importance of these incredible animals in the wild. The knowledgeable staff added depth to the experience, sharing interesting facts and answering questions with enthusiasm.

The overall atmosphere of ZooAmerica was welcoming and family-friendly. The exhibits were well-maintained, and the cleanliness of the facilities added to the positive experience. It's evident that the staff is dedicated to the well-being of the animals and the satisfaction of visitors.

Our trip to ZooAmerica was not only entertaining but also educational. The combination of wildlife observation and informative displays created a well-rounded experience. I highly recommend ZooAmerica in Hershey, PA, for anyone seeking a delightful blend of fun and learning in a beautiful setting.

The zoo itself is awesome, it's located directly outside of Hershey park. If you buy a ticket to the theme park the zoo is included. You can also buy a ticket to just the zoo. Overall the zoo isn't huge but the animals are all super easy to see and it never seems too busy when we go. Good amount of animals to see prob takes about 2 hours to get through the whole park after seeing the animals.

We had a wonderful time on the 8am private tour-- it was well worth the cost. We were the only people in the park aside for staff, and all the animals were out and active since it was quiet. Our guide (Ash) was a lovely person and very knowledgeable. Lots of special memories made.

Our family of 7 went to Hershey Park and visited Zoo America and were very happy to see Black Bear, Bald Eagles, Ottters, Elk, Wolves and many other exhibits. All well kept and natural looking. Highly recommend.

What a great day spent at Zoo America! There are a ton of different animals and exhibits to see, including multiple indoor exhibits. We took the 'Suggested Route' and it was fantastic. Each day, there is a different 'Meet and Greet' with select animals.
The bear and eagle exhibits were so cool! Definitely check out the otters, too.
The whole zoo has a lot of shade and coverage to avoid the sun. The indoor exhibits both are much bigger than they appear with a large number of animals/creatures in both!
Overall, the zoo is great! It's definitely worth coming to! It's a good size, especially for walking around with little ones. Felt like you get up close to most animals. Only down side is the gift shop is on the smaller side and pricey but does have some cool souvenirs.

Despite the fact that it wasn't very big this is an absolutely wonderful zoo. There is a suggested path that allows you to see everything if you follow it which makes things simple. The animal displays are great because you can really get up close to them. My favorite part was the nocturnal animals that were kept in low light so you could see them be active.

Up until now I have always been under the impression that the bigger the zoo the better. After visiting this 11 acre zoo I have completely changed my view on this. This zoo has an amazing collection of animals and fantastic exibits. The staff is very friendly and informative and there is so much to do. Even if you just came to Hershey to go to the zoo it would be worth it!

I loved our Zoo America experience. We went on a Monday at 10 am so it wasn’t crowded at all. The exhibits are really cool - separated by ecosystem. A lot of the animals were active when we were there which added to the experience.

Great walk through, great angles to see all of the animals at some point. You can really take your tume here and enjoy being around the animals and just outside since it's fairly small and definitely does not take all day. It's great that it is a rescue zoo and fornbeing that it is pretty diverse! It's definitely worth checking out and a great time!

Had a great time at ZooAmerica. I like how easy it is to follow the suggested path and see everything, without feeling like you may have missed something. It’s on the short side, but the exhibits are interesting enough that I felt completely fulfilled by the time it was over.

Great experience, several areas to explore... birds, snakes, gators, lizards, more birds, bears, wolves, elk, deer, geese, big cats, prairie dogs and others. leisurely gait through takes about 30/40 minutes. Certainly worth the time.

Came here with an hour and a half before they closed. We breezed though the whole thing by the time the park closed. 11 acres about and the animals were all there. For the most park, many were asleep. Not a big crowd of people during the weekdays. Parking wasn't an issue. There were big black vultures flying around. And apparently they're not part of the zoo. They're working with animal groups in how to have them not migrate to their zoo area. Think of giant black seaguls waiting to steal your unattended food. All north American animals are in the exhibit and wonderful to see.

This was such a fun experience. I have been to Hershey's more than 5 times and I never knew they had ZooAmerica as well. There were many species of rare animals. I learned a lot, the staff was helpful. Overall great experience, it's best if you have kids in family, they will have a great time here!

We love Zoo America! We had the best time learning about the eagles and their stories. Mr brown bear trying to get his log moved to where he wanted and so many more great animals to visit!

ZooAmerica in Hershey, Pennsylvania. When visiting Hershey park the admission was included. It’s a fun way to slow down from the hustle of the amusement park. With lots of animals to see including night animals. Always fun to see. Not sure the price as I came from the amusement park. But still a fun little get away and rest as you see the amazing animals here.

My daughter and I went to take a break from the sun and heat of Hershey Park and really enjoyed it. It's a cute little zoo and the animals don't look sad.

ZooAmerica provides a nice shadey, quiet break from Hershey Park. The bears were SO close to the window which was cool to see. The employees were moving a turtle and two tortoises so my daughter got to see them up close as well. And the wolves were howling. The walkways were all clean and beautiful.

Great little zoo! We were fortunate and went when the animals were very active. This was included in our HersheyPark admission and was a good break from the coasters and noise.
