Thanks for the fantastic review! We love hearing from our guests. Every time you visit, you are directly supporting the care of our rescues, so we hope you'll make it a habit to stop by. Come check out our Red, White & Zoobilee and say hi to the animals again soon!

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! It means a lot to us and the animals. Don't be a stranger—visiting frequently is one of the absolute best ways to support the rescue. We've got our Red, White & Zoobilee happening right now, so we hope to welcome you back for the celebration!

Thank you so much for the kind words and the great review! As a rescue, returning visitors are our lifeline, so please come back and see us often. In fact, we’d love to see you again for our Red, White & Zoobilee—it’s the perfect excuse for another trip!

I searched all over for one on my miniature dachshund, Sophie's favorite toys, a blue stuffed Santa shark. 3 Palms Zoo had 6 but, one swam away so they sent 5. I think the other 5 ate #6, but didn't want Sophie to know. Thanks for that. They even turned on delivery for me so I could order them. Thank you so much. They were wonderful!

We visit often with our toddler grandson. Learning about animals and caring for them is an important life lesson. My grandson looks forward to going to the zoo and going to lunch afterwards.

I absolutely love this zoo! It’s such a wonderful place to take your kids. It’s very educational, and they get the opportunity to feed the animals, which makes the experience even more fun and interactive. It’s a great way for children to learn while having an amazing time. We always enjoy our visits! 🐾

We have visited 3 Palms several times over the past five years. It's always a favorite for the kids. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The animals are well kept, and the smores on holiday trips are a nice personal touch. I highly recommend!
