JACKSON ZOOLOGICAL PARK - (601) 352-2582

We took a trip 2 days ago to the jax zoo. Not too impressed. The web site I found with the info did not mention the renevation (which has been going on for YEARS). Also, the ticket price was different once we arrived. Instead of $4.00 for adults it was $5.30 and the $2 for kids was $2.70. Not much, but when you add up for a family of 6. I did not drive for an hour to spend more than what we had planned for this trip and then be dissappointed at the conditions of the zoo. I recommend you take a trip to another zoo or go to the park.

I was excited about taking my daughter to the zoo. I had visions of wide open space and well maitained grounds. The zoo is extremely run-down and is on a bad side of town. All the animals seemed lethargic, and the food prices high. My daughter did have fun, as did I, but they could definitely use a makeover.
