    The Topeka Zoo, located in Gage Park, offers a modest but enjoyable experience for visitors. While not as large as some major city zoos, it provides a good variety of animals and exhibits. The zoo is known for its efforts in conservation and education, particularly with endangered species. Visitors often appreciate the well-maintained grounds and the close-up views of animals. The giraffe feeding experience is frequently mentioned as a highlight. However, some reviewers note that the zoo could benefit from updates and expansions to certain exhibits. The staff is generally described as friendly and knowledgeable. While the zoo may not offer a full day's worth of activities for all visitors, it's considered a nice outing for families and animal enthusiasts.
