Toledo Zoo

     008
   This is a well done zoo with good exhibits, informative signs, and lots of room for the animals. Some of the buildings are WPA era (1930’s work projects) and are put to good use for the smaller animals-reptiles, bird, and fish. We only had two hours to wander around and didn’t get to see everything.

  Everything is fairly accessible and most of the animals are easily viewed. The ramp at the aquarium entrance is very steep. The main parking lots and the newest part of the zoo are separated from the rest of the zoo by a busy four lane highway.  A staircase or a long set of ramps crosses the highway. The ramps are ADA compliant but they are very long. Resting at the flat areas or help pushing will probably be necessary.There’s an additional lot at the old entrance but the zoo website doesn’t have any information about it.

  The parking lot is huge. RVs that take up more than one space are charged a $10.00 parking fee. Cars are $6.00.  Zoo
