  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    Zoo Idaho in Pocatello offers a modest but enjoyable wildlife experience. The zoo focuses on local and regional animals, providing visitors with an opportunity to see native species up close. While small in size, it maintains clean and well-kept enclosures. Visitors appreciate the educational aspects, including informative signage and occasional talks by zookeepers. The zoo's commitment to animal rescue and rehabilitation is noteworthy. However, some guests note that the variety of animals is limited compared to larger zoos. The walking paths are manageable for most visitors, making it a good option for families with children or those with mobility concerns. The gift shop and concessions are basic but adequate. While Zoo Idaho may not offer the extensive exhibits of major metropolitan zoos, it provides a pleasant, low-key experience for those interested in learning about local wildlife.
