When did the zoo go from free to pay? And is it worth the money? BTW, I usually just lurk here; but this had me baffled and I figured ya'll would know. Liz  |

The zoo is free. I have not been there in a long time but remember that it is really beautiful there. I am not sure what all they have but am sure it is worth the trip over there.....Have fun.... |

The zoo isn't free. We tried going this past Saturday, and couldn't get in because we didn't have any money with us, and their was a gate attendant. I believe the price was $3.00 for adults and $2.00 for the kids. Anyways, like I said, I was baffled I hadn't heard that it was going to be a *charge to get in type* zoo. And wondered when this change took place. Also I was wondering if it was worth the price of admission. Liz |

I remember reading one time that they were hoping to convert to a pay-entry zoo at some point after some improvements were made, but I didn't realize they had done it. Unless they made a LOT of improvements since I was there about a year ago, it wouldn't be worth it to me.

I wish Lubbock had a zoo. And I'm not talking about the city council...that is a zoo.

It's still free. We went the other day. I believe they were giving a special program one day this month, on a Saturday, where it was a pay to get in type thing.

It is in Thompson Park, next to Wonderland Park. North of town, just off of 287 and Martin Luther King street, aka 24th. I hope that helps. I guess it is still free, except that freak day that I went and was asked to pay. I will be checking it out again real soon. Liz  |

We went the other day and it was free. I think they should start charging. I don't know how they make it w/o charging. But $3.00? Come on. That is incredibly cheap. Even for a program.
