We had a wonderful day at Roger Williams Park Zoo with our grandsons and the whole family! The boys were fascinated by the incredible variety of animals, and the interactive, hands-on activities were a huge hit. They especially loved climbing on the tractor and taking turns behind the wheel. Although a few exhibits were closed during our visit, there was still more than enough to keep us entertained for a couple of hours. The zoo is beautifully maintained, family-friendly, and offers a fun educational experience for both children and adults. If you’re looking for a great family outing, Roger Williams Park Zoo is definitely worth a visit!

Very good zoo! Lots of things to see and explore. It looks like they take really good care of the animals. Probably the best care I've seen at a zoo. There are tons of things to do for small children. I would have given this a 5 but the prices of water all over the park are 6 dollars each. Like Disney prices. The food is all super expensive. It was good quality though. I'm not sure if they allow you to bring in food but if they do I would recommend people to do that. We were from out of town. So we just ate there. The gift shop was reasonably priced.

Beautiful park! Has a zoo, gardens, ponds, museum, merry go round walking trails, and more. Lots of quiet open areas for reading or having a picnic. Mt most recent visit was on a Tuesday morning to visit the botanical gardens. It was gorgeous and well maintained. So many bees and other pollinators working those flowers. The greenhouse was amazing and filled with so many different tropical plants and a koi pond. The rose garden was also beautiful. I just hope that next time I can see the goats. As a child I visited the zoo, museum and we'd take the paddle boats out for a spin around the pond.

Zoobilee at Roger Williams Park Zoo was a blast! From the elephants, penguins, giraffes, & armadillos to the food & cocktails, there was something to enjoy around every corner. My favorite bite was the unique creation from Hangry Kitchen, a chili & miso banana bread grilled cheese that somehow just worked. πŸ˜‹ Terrazza RI served a smooth, flavorful hummus, the risotto from The Catering Gourmet was layered with incredible flavor, & McBride's Pub lamb shepherd's pie was absolutely delicious. We left stuffed, happy, & already looking forward to the next one. This is definitely an event you'll want to check out in the future! #Foodie #FoodLover #RhodeIsland #SupportLocal #zoo
