Our Guestbook
“ It's really expensive but that's what I guess you can expect when you decide to eat the zoo. It really isn't bad though. The Hamburgers are really good. And they have salads and fruit, desserts, fountain drinks. They serve booze here too and ice cream. Hot food and cold options. Then sit looking out over the jungle. You can watch the monkey's playing or random birds fly by usually. I'd rather ear here then any if the other places at the zoo. And it's more personalized. With condiments and what not. ”
“ Cafeteria style order your food. Food is a bit pricey but good and well prepared. Atmosphere is a wonderful view of one of their jungle exhibits. ”
“ Surprisingly good hamburgers for the price and being at a zoo! ”
“ The food was not overly priced, and was good cafeteria food. But the atmosphere with the jungle view is well worth the extra dollar. They had some creative options for food (fish tacos where the special), and the monkeys entertained us all of lunch. ”
“ I was surprised by the quality of the food. Normally in my experience at zoos/museums the food is decent or garbage. Here I had a double cheeseburger and it tasted just like a normal restaurant. My only complaint was that the process of getting through the line was slow. It was like a cafeteria in school where you go through a line and say what you want. The thing is if you wait 75% of the line you might get to the prepackaged wraps/sides and decide to grab those instead of waiting for the grill items. Then you just wasted your time. ”
“ Eat amazing food and the burger and fries were good and wrap was good as well. You get to eat lunch while watching wildlife such as Gibbons play in there habitats! BONUS!! It is very amazing. The food is good and the monkeys are active. Great foodAmazing wildlifeawesome! ”
“ They have Gluten free options! Was super happy about this. Had the Cheeseburger with gf bun and fries. I'm not Celiac, just gluten sensitive. No issues. ”
“ Amazing service. I ate there with my two young children and one worker helped carry my tray, another got my children booster seats and made sure we had a great view of the monkeys. They really went above and beyond and eating right next to the monkeys was amazing! ”
