John Ball Zoo: A Perfect Day Out for All Ages

My goddaughter and I spent the day at John Ball Zoo and had a really great time. It was a seamless, thrilling, and unforgettable visit for both of us from beginning to end.

Interactive and Kid-Friendly: Most of the animals were out and active, and there were lots of interesting displays made specifically for children, so she enjoyed every minute of it. The interactive zones provided her some fresh experiences that enhanced the day.

The whole zoo is ADA accessible, which helped me to easily and stress-free negotiate with a pram. Restrooms and dining selections are carefully spread over the property always a plus when you’re out with young children.

Daytime vs. Night Events: I have been before during their nighttime lights event, which was breathtaking, but coming during the day gave us a whole new respect. Seeing everything in full daylight added a different kind of magic; it was just as memorable.

Final Reflections: John Ball Zoo never fails to amaze whether this is your first or fifth visit. It's well-run, enjoyable for everyone, and fun. If you are in the Grand Rapids region, I strongly advise.
