There are some unique animals here. It is a small zoo but well worth the visit. The beach is just a walk away so spending an entire day at the zoo and beach isn't a problem. The animals have lots to do and seem really happy. The trek up to the tower is worth it to see the beach and surrounding area. Lots of shade and the animals are all really easy to see for younger kids and toddlers. The river otters is a favorite exhibit of ours.
The Zoo would be a perfect place for anyone who wants to share family time or celebrate a family reunion. The zoo is smaller but some interesting and unusual animals. You pay to park outside the zoo and also to enter the zoo. There is a public park and public beach just outside the zoo that is free. The tower is fun to get a good view of the area around the zoo. It was gun feeding the parakeets. Good family fun
It's a small zoo, however really packed with the best animals. No elephants. But Lemurs, cougars, lions, tigers, emus, deer, large tortoises, an alligator, bald eagles, monkeys, farm animals, otters and so much more. It's built on a hill so be prepared for a lot of up and down walking. They have stairs and smooth pathways so if you are in a wheelchair or scooter no problem. Gift shop, commissary. They also have options for donating, group events etc. Honestly one of the best features of Michigan City.
Great zoo for a great price! Definitely something we hope to bring our kids to in the future. Closes a little early, but it's still reasonable. We really enjoyed how close you got to all of the animals, the diversity of animals, and the historical personality of the zoo.
It is a small town zoo. As long as you know that you should be fine. It is very hilly, so I struggled a lot with my double stroller (City Select) and this one is very smooth and easy to maneuver. The train ride is more like a carnival ride. On the other hand, the staff is really friendly.
