I visited this zoo and I felt sorry for the animals. The enclosures are small and mostly dirty. The cats paced back and forth, which indicated to me that they were bored and needed some physical and mental stimulation. I didn't see any staff except for teenagers. The experience was disheartening. There is a wide variety of animals, but they have been removed from their natural habitat and little effort, if any, has been taken to recreate the natural habitat in the exhibits. It seems like a waste of the animals' lives to have them there, standing around in dirt or mud or manure. The place is run down, I think it should be closed and the animals relocated to better places.

Decent zoo but several animals appeared ill or stressed and not an employee in site except teenagers selling drinks and ride tickets.

The variety of animals is impressive. Really amazing specimens that you’d be hard-pressed to find elsewhere.
The state that they’re kept in is not. Chain link cages, muddy enclosures with what seems like little in the way of enrichment. A lot of balls tossed about, not much more. Sad looking animals, for the most part.
But the worst part: the sky ride. It’s just a ski lift, a creaky one, and I was a complete idiot and took my two-year-old daughter on it, expecting some kind of restraints besides a metal bar. Nope.
Well, my crotchety two year old did everything in her power to try and fling herself down, down, down into the rhino enclosure. She screamed and yelled and if I hadn’t been holding onto her with a vice-like grip she’d have surely plummeted to her death. And I’d be one of those horrible moms you see on TV news, but really, it’s a wonder something bad hasn’t happened yet.
There’s a lot that just doesn’t seem… right… at this zoo. It’s too grungy, the animals too forlorn. I guess that’s what you get with a non-accredited private zoo, but wow. Just not good.

I was able to visit the Richmond Zoo while on a recent vacation to Virginia. This was a very enjoyable experience. The zoo has a nice collection of animals and birds. We liked the walk-thru aviary with the free flying birds. You can really get some nice photos of animals, as their exhibits are not too far from the zoo walkways. Our favorite exhibit was the African penguins. We were able to see them during one of the feedings/keeper talks. The keepers told us about a penguin named ET, who is the oldest African penguin. The zoo was a wonderful experience, and we spent the majority of the day there. I would definitely recommend a visit to this zoo, and hope to return again.

I am not sure who I need to speak to concerning my visit. We have visited you on many occasions through the years, so this experience is very perplexing to me.
My granddaughter turned 18 yesterday 10/24/22. She and her sister wanted to explore your tree top safari. We arrived at 1:30 and the young lady told us that we would have to wait until 3pm to experience the safari. The girls did not want to do the junior treetop safari, but they wanted to tackle the more challenging course. Now mind you neither one of the girls had participated in this challenge before. My younger granddaughter was eight and the elder was as stated before eighteen. I am a sixty-six-year-old grandmother, and I am unable to do the walking pace due to knee issues. So, I remained behind. I was told that they would zip across the parking lot, and I was anticipating getting a great picture of this event.
Well, this did not occur in fact they did not complete the course. I was told by granddaughters that they terminated the run because the park was closing. Now I do understand that this is an issue, however the time was based on the instructors. The instructions on the window states that the coursed would run every half hour. Not true.
The start time was given by the instructors not the participants. I was also told that they had 3 zips left. which may have went over closing but all of these mishaps were blamed on the participants. Which is absurd when neither person had ever been on such a challenging course before. Is this the job of the trained personnel?
I was taken back by the attitude of your employees on the matter and felt I had been exploited in this situation. This was supposed to have been a memorable occasion for our family. It was ruined because your employees were not able to gauge time to offer more assistance or just flatly not take my money if you feel that the participant was too young. I am not sure what I want to do with this information. I am just hurt. We walked away sadly because I felt there was no need to create or make matters worse, So I did not continue discourse about the situation on my granddaughter's eighteenth birthday. The employees were Liz and Forester What are your suggestions?

I visited exactly one year ago. In that year the zoo has deteriorated. It really needs a healthy dose of TLC. Maybe lack of staff. Not sure. My grandson enjoyed himself though.

Such a cute and well-maintained zoo. Nice features like super friendly staff, train ride in sectioned non-public areas and animals we haven't seen before like the Kimodo dragon and orangutans. A little pricey for the admission price but our family thought it was well worth it.

A very nice lil zoo to spend an early afternoon. Good variety of animals and pretty good upkeep. There was an exceptional large variety of monkeys and most were active and fun to watch. And I love feeding the giraffes.

We have lived in the area forever, and just got around to going to the zoo. What a hidden gem! We were not expecting much, so we were so pleasantly surprised! There are so many animals of so many different types, all of which looked very clean, healthy, and well cared for. The animal habitats were clean and spacious, and the trails were paved which made it a fairly easy walk. The chair lift was fun, and we got to see several animal feedings. They sell big cups of feed for $4 which you can use to feed giraffes (so cool!) and many other animals. We spent 3+ hours here and really enjoyed it. We'll be back at least yearly.

The zoo was not well kept, it smelled really bad. The animals were without water, in very nasty circumstances. The rhinoceros pen had deer in their enclosure and only an area of about 10 feet with grass the other part of the enclosure had some areas that were nothing but mud holes, no clean water or for that matter, no water at all. The enclosure is under the tramway so you can see every aspect of their enclosure. There's a giraffe that had it's hind leg hoof so long it was beginning to split. The other enclosures were grown over with weeds and no evidence of water. These animals deserve better. They were lethargic and seemed very depressed. There was only 1 worker visible. No one was available to assist the people with problems with the token machines or anything else. I took my out of state visitors there and regret doing so. They were very upset over the conditions the animals are enduring. If they don't have staff to cover taking care of the animals they need to shut down till they get some. I have reported this incident to PETA and they are working on it.

As seniors we are not able to walk long distances. Are there power chairs or electric mobility devices for us to rent.

Unfortunately, only wheel chairs. Walking is a problem for me. I walked a portion, took a short ride on their shuttle (it doesn't cover nearly all the grounds) and still didn't see half the zoo. I love it, but will not return as it isn't really ADA friendly.
Would you say this would be a good zoo to visit for teenage boys? We are heading south for vacation and we were talking about spending a day in Virginia. Just wondering if this would be a place to bring older kids?

Yes! You can feed giraffes, plus there are lots of cool snakes. All of the animals were pretty alert. They also have one of those ropes courses just across the parking lot.

About how long on average should one plan on it taking to see all the exhibits?

Depends, I could stay all day. Adults just walking through could get around in a couple of hours, but that's note the best way to enjoy this zoo. I love watching the animals. When I took my Grands 4 & 8 we probably stayed 3 or 4 hours and didn't see everything, but I didn't rush them. We took our time hand feeding the giraffes, watching fish and turtles eat our leftover giraffe food. Stayed with the little birds feeding them seeds from sticks on our hands through multiple purchases of sticks and still didn't want to leave. Watched snakes be fed mice too!
Enjoy!

Can we bring a picnic lunch? Is food available for sale. Is there a shady spot to eat lunch?

Yes, they have a picnic pavilion near the front and umbrella tables in the back where you can eat. There are two food stands that serve drinks, chicken nuggets and hot dogs. We only had the ice cream which was good. There is a menu on the website path - visit, amenities, food, menu link. Have fun!
What is this zoo doing to change habitats to better suit the animals native ecosystem and are there any threatened animals there?

I don't know the guidelines for establishing habitats; I do know that for a small, probably underfunded, zoo that there are open areas for the animals, a safari type area with some rare species, and what seems to be a good view of keeping the animals comfortable and stimulated. I'm sure the zoo management would be happy to really give you information on what they are doing and what they are planning.
Are dogs allowed at the zoo?

You should call the zoo and check. There are a few free range animals that walk around the zoo so bringing a pet that is not a service animal may not be ideal or prohibited.

Hi! Thank you for your review of the Metro Richmond Zoo. I love zoos more than almost anything. Does this particular zoo have natural space habitats for the animals? Thank you.

In my opinion, no. There are large open areas but as for their natural habitats the zoo could us major improvement. I was quite disappointed in this so called zoo. Very pricey as well.
