Animals from seven continents roam the grounds of the Cleveland Zoo.

Free Zootrams whisk visitors from one area to the other, or you can use the pathways to trek around the grounds. There are plenty of play, rest and picnic areas. The zoo is divided into... more

Where else in Cleveland can you see a polar bear? Three thousand animals of (almost) every kind occupy 168 rolling, wooded acres. The RainForest houses 600 animals and 10,000 plants from the jungles of Africa, Asia and the Americas. Just inside the main gate, veering slightly to the right, visitors enter the Savannah, where we think the giraffes really steal the show. Of course, there's much... more

A zoo membership is worthwhile if you plan to visit the zoo at least three times a year, and you'll probably enjoy going more often rather than trying to "see it all" in one day.

Cleveland Metroparks Zoo -- This well-maintained and well-organized zoo is a great place to spend half a day, especially if you're traveling with the kids. The standout attraction is the $30-million multilevel Rainforest exhibit. Don't miss the actual rainstorm inside this simulated biosphere, which boasts more than 600 animals and insects from all seven continents.

I went to the zoo a couple of years ago, and I thought it was a pretty good zoo. I thought that it wasn't too small. I really enjoyed its indoor rain forest and its elephant exhibit. The picnic area is also nice.

Pros

+ Good zoo, good picnic area

The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and Rainforest are certainly a sight to see. This zoo rivals most other zoo's in the United States and features an enormous tropical rainforest. You can find dozens of species of wildlife year-round, from monkey and tigers in the summer to seals and polar bears in the winter. It's especially great for families to experience the animals up close. I plan to visit the... more

I love the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. It's huge and it always seems like they've got new animals arriving. The rainforest is the best part - it's a simulated rainforest with the same sweltering temperatures and humidity of an actual rainforest, with simulated rain showers over a river of fish. They have this really cool bobcat that swoops his paw into the water and pulls fish out, which is... more
