The food was so-so and the restrooms could be better but the zoo experience was great. more on Yahoo! Travel

While I can imagine it getting a little warm in the middle of the summer, North Carolina's climate is pretty mild so I'm not sure why other reviews are complaining so much about the heat. more on Epinions.com

And the rude people with strollers....there must be some rules for them, especially in inside exhibits. more on TripAdvisor

We visited the NC Zoo with one of my grandchildren and plan to return with the other three. more on Yahoo! Travel

My mom and I went to here one Friday. It was a long drive, but worth it. My son loved to watch the otter pace back-and-forth under the water. He just kept laughing. They have a tram, but you still have to walk about ... more on Yahoo! Travel

This place is pretty cool, it has North America, South America, & a fairly new addition of Australian animals. You can walk which is the best way to see everything or you can take the tram around to the different drop off sites. I ... more on Yahoo! Travel

This is one of the nicest zoos I've visited. They have created very natural and expansive habitats for the animals. Walking the trails was very pleasant but could be challenging in the middle of summer. There is a tram system which ... more on Yahoo! Travel
