Hutchinson Zoo

What a fun little zoo to visit!!! My littles especially enjoyed the small play areas and the telescope! The animals were moving all about and we got the chance to get right up close to a few of them. The path circles back to the beginning so there's no backtracking. We were there 30-45 minutes but you could stay longer if you wanted! Plenty of picnic tables I wish we could have taken advantage of--next time!

This place was so nice! I hadn't been to a zoo in several years. Since I was a kid in grade school. Was my daughter's first time too. Had a great time!

Beautiful Zoo, photogenic animals who seem to like the attention, and it's free?! Definitely the coolest place we stopped while out of our home state. My only complaint is the gift shop wasn't open and I wanted to buy fish food and a souvenir, however I understand the world is understaffed. The one worker we did see was friendly and doing what she could to keep up with the morning zoo routine. Overall, we both loved it! If I'm ever in Kansas again it's definitely on my to do list even if it's out of the way to get to next time

I absolutely loved this zoo! They suggest $5 a family or $2/person but you aren’t required to donate to enter. Super cute gift shop. Staff was very friendly and willing to answer any questions you had. Cicada turtles were participating in adult quality time and it was weird. The raccoon was sleeping the whole time it’s like it know it’s my favorite and what I was looking forward too so that was a lil sad but it’s gotta be exhausting being that cute 24/7 so I understand. There were a bunch more interesting animals to see though so it was fine. Definitely take the time to stop. The whole park itself is cute.

We love coming to the Hutchinson zoo! It is a fun, kid-friendly and free option for families. The animals are well cared for and the new natural playground is amazing! My kid loves the water play area.

I've Loved this place since I was a child. It has grown so much. Such a lovely way to spend the afternoon.

It was a warm day so alot of the animals needed a nap. But it's free to get in. Donations are welcomed and appreciated. We had a really nice day and enjoyed the experience as 1st time visitors ♡

Free to enter, good place to take the kids or to go for a walk. Great people at zoo. Petting zoo portion is a blast.

Beware the Llama like to nibble sometimes.

Excited for the new exhibits to come.

OMG THEY HAVE LLAMAS!!!!! And it really loves to nibble on hair and nibble on long sleeves so be warned!!! But the llama in the pictures it’s the one that does that but it don’t hurt. He’s sssooooo cute!!!! The zoo it’s self is free but they do take donations!!!! As they probably need it!!!! I love this place soooooo much!!!! I love my baby for surprising me today!!!! Definitely worth going to!!!! So see alll the great animals!!! Also very interactive as well!!!!

If you want a simple outing with your kids, or even by yourself, the Hutchinson Zoo makes for a great time. I have always enjoyed going here and am so happy that it is still around for my children to enjoy when I come back to the area to visit.

Great variety of Kansas animals. Now has South American animals and a shark. Train and play areas for kiddos. Accessible paths for walkers and strollers. Free but suggested donation. Parking is free and close. Inside a park with other fun options. Love to visit the badger and Pronghorn!

One of our favorite stops in Hutchinson. Haven't been there in years and was good to see that they had kept up with improvements and it was undergoing another small expansion. It's a free zoo, but always happy to leave some money in the donation box.

Such a fun little zoo for my toddlers! Free admission. Little train you can pay to ride on. A couple little playgrounds within the zoo. A couple of inside exhibits. They now have a splash pad too!

The cat had got into a bird and broke his wing. So I placed him in a cage and took him out here since they do have a rehab. Well I was there I visited the zoo it has been decades since I've been at the zoo they have done so much you've got to visit!

This zoo was so much fun!! I love that it's free!! The animals look well cared for and the staff we talked with were both friendly and knowledgeable. Great time!!! We will be back!!

Not the biggest, but you can tell they take care of their animals. Kids had a great time.

The fact that this accredited zoo is free, and so well loved fills my heart with joy!
Was happy to donate, just wish I had more time on the trip!

Cleanest hellbender exhibit I'd ever seen!

My grandkids had a blast. Wish we could feed the fish. Need more tropical animals. Otters need more toys. My grandson had a ball the otter went crazy watching the ball go back n forth very entertaining. We left a good donation.

Such a nice zoo! The otter exhibit is the BEST! Love all the new things that are happening

A really nice little zoo especially for being free! It looked like they were doing some upgrades as well to let you get a closer look at the bison across the pond.
