The cool zoo is indeed a great summer activity. Both my big kid (8) and my little kid (2.5) love it and stay entertained the entire time. 12 dollars for a ticket is perfectly reasonable BUT they really get you by requiring you to also pay for a zoo ticket. Now this isn't so bad if you're actually going to go to the zoo (although the price of admission is extremely high) but for little ones who aren't going to make it to the zoo after 2/3 hours of water play it's a huge waste of money. We ended doing one ride on the train (which of course cost extra) and leaving.

My family and I had a fun time at the Cool Zoo. I personally find it hard to mash a visit to the zoo in with the cool zoo. We are Audobon members so we normally skip the zoo part and just visit the cool Zoo or regular zoo. The lazy river is a fun, relaxing float ride. They have double tubes with a solid bottom so it is easy for toddlers to float in one. We brought snacks in so we didn’t deal with the concessions. The tickets are half day and for having a toddler it’s the perfect amount of time.

Cool Zoo is a great little water area. For a hot day, the water was nice and cold. They serve some beer and wine coolers. They have a kids' water playground area with a little beach feel, and there is a lazy river that is about 3 feet in height, so parents be ware since I almost scraped my knees 🤭

(BRING WATER SHOES) first time going and my 15 month old had a blast in the splash pad area that is until he fell 2 times In a row and busted his head on the concrete some areas are okay and others are really slick they need to do better at scrubbing the concrete down after hours and make it an everyday thing the lazy river was alright it definitely needs to be wider and maybe a foot deeper especially with the amount to kids and people go into it at a time but other then that it was super fun I think it’s ridiculous that you have to buy a zoo pass and a cool zoo pass $12 for the cool zoo but I wanna say it’s $20 for the zoo and it’s a waste if you arnt actually walking the zoo and just going to the cool zoo and then to rent a canopy for half a day is $80 and a full day is $120 they definitely scam you...

We went for the first time today and enjoyed ourselves! Kids had a blast and the staff were friendly and extremely helpful. The splash pad was a lot of fun and the lazy river was a great place to cool down and just float. My daughter was stung by a wasp on her foot. I went into the cool shop for an ice pack and told them what happened and they called for the medic. While waiting 2 staff members came up with a vial of medicine for her and showed genuine concern. When the medic got there he was very sweet put a little more medicine on it and a bandaid. Every staff member we encountered today was exceptional! We will definitely be back...
