David Traylor Zoo of Emporia

I had a marvelous time. The Animals are very active since the weather has warmed up. The public space is so clean Hat's off to all of the workers. Nice job 😊😊😍

What a great way to spend time with family. This is a wonderful zoo. The staff was very friendly. Very well kept. Clean. The animals look very healthy. We had a really nice time.

Love this zoo! Pretty Small but super neat and worth the stop even if it weren’t free. The lynx is so playful and cute. Definitely my favorite animal there since I didn’t get to see the raccoon as out of the few that I’ve seen so far refuse to let me be their father and come outside.. anyways the Mountain Lion is the biggest one I’ve seen yet and was more traumatizing than the one that tried to eat me at the last zoo.. ( for legal reasons that’s a joke)

Been there many times before but it was really beautiful today. The plants and flowers were my favorite part. Took grandchildren and niece. They had a lot of fun. The bathrooms were extremely clean. I was impressed with that. Very beautiful place.

One of the best zoos around, not to mention it is FREE. The animals are easy to see and the whole place is beautiful. The layout is easy to follow and a great use of space. There are animals you can't find easily in other zoos as well. I can't recommend this zoo enough!

We loved our trip to the ZOO. It’s beautiful, clean and free. What a blessing for Emporia

This us a hidden gem! It is free to go and let your kids explore. Great time killer and nice little collection of animals. They run off donations from what I understand.

Lemurs and other animals from Madagascar! Kansas animals such as bobcat, deer, eagle, and prairie dogs. Playground for kiddos. Grounds are spectacular. Free but accepts donation. Inside park with other fun activities. Doesn't look like much from gate. Free parking by front gate.

Beautiful zoo!! My mom and I drove from Topeka, it was more than we expected and I am for sure bringing my kids back with me next time!

What a spectacular zoo, and it’s FREE! I was so glad that I went to check it out.

Went in mid-june and the florals were gorgeous! Beautiful atmosphere. Just enough animals to make it interesting. Would be perfect for grade school age children or seniors since it wasn't a huge walk getting around it. Just right. Huge trees provided ample shade so still comfortable in low 80s.

Nicely arranged for a leisurely stroll. The family enjoyed a sense of exploration and adventure around every turn. Would like to make it a regular visit.

It's free and has well treated animals! Super fun way to spend an afternoon!

Beautiful grounds, well-kept, and just big enough to take a leisurely hour and see the whole thing. A wonderful place to spend an afternoon.
It's very easily walkable, even with a toddler, and well shaded with beautiful trees.

Great for some photography! Really good zoo too.

Great place to relax staff is super nice, great array of animals,beautiful landscaping

It is always nice to see the flowers along with the animals in the zoo. The staff does an outstanding job of keeping it clean and comfortable for the animals.

Wow, wow, wow. This zoo was a pleasemt surprise. My wife and i visit zoos all over the country. This was on a trip to the midwest. It was zoo 5 of 9 in the area.

It is a very small zoo, but it really packs a punch! They had a ton of stuff in a small area. All very well maintained and viewable! Plus its free!

Only downside if i have to find one was no gift shop. My wife gets a stuffed animal from every zoo we visit, and sadly this one had to be ordered online.

Easy parking, great lemur and mountain lion. Also the only zoo on our trip that had good bobcat viewing.

Best free zoo ever and beautiful scenery

We Always Enjoy this zoo!
