Scovill Zoo, Illinois, United States
4.5 (154 reviews) Thursday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Spent Ranking #1 in Decatur Zoos
Great little zoo that won't break the bank
This was part of our trip home from Springfield. We went on Mothers Day so wife got in free. For me and kids 4,7,14 it cost $44 and package included tickets for 3 sno cones, 8 train ride tix, and 4 carousel ride tix. Parking is free. Pony rides $4. Small zoo but not crowded and unlike some bigger zoos... The animals were actually out. If you are expecting St. Louis zoo then you will be disappointed, but if looking to spend some quality family time and not feel you got robbed then this is the place. Zoo is extremely clean and everyone was friendly. Huge playground for kids to exhaust themselves before ride home.

It may be small, but kid friendly
My children and grandchildren are grown. We have over the years seen Scovill Zoo grow into a wonderful delight for children of all ages. Before you even enter the zoo, there is a wonderful garden, gazebo that there is a lot of weddings performed there, and also a wonderful play ground area for kids to play on. Inside the zoo, you will meet and see many different animals. They have a petting zoo, that everyone enjoys from the young to the old. A wonderful attractions is the train that runs through the zoo. So come on out and check it out yourself. Oh bring along the kids also....they will enjoy it to.
