We all agreed that Seneca Park Zoo is really well balanced. The zoo is not huge, but it includes all the major animals of interest with no need to walk  long distances between exhibits. There’s also an option of taking the zoo tram (for an additional fee) to the far end of the zoo (near the giraffes) and walk back following the exhibits.

Some of our favorite animals that we saw were the giraffes, elephants, polar bears, lions and baboons.  The exhibits are set up very well and we got excellent views of most animals.

We loved watching the baboons following instructions and playing computer games. Every time they followed the instructions on the computer correctly, a treat was dispensed automatically.

There are periodic keeper chats and feedings for the different animals throughout the day. The keepers share a lot of information about the animals living at the zoo.

For an additional fee visitors can experience Sea Lions up close, feed giraffes or meet elephants personally during the elephant encounters.

There is a café, canteen and souvenir shop at the zoo. Near the entrance is a unique playground built mostly of trees and branches.
