Little River Zoo, Norman OK

[Werewolf]

Been there many times over the years with both the kids and grandkids. Great place, guided tours. Not the OKC zoo but the focus is different.

In recent years its gone down hill some (a lot actually). Dirty, trails not well maintained, stinks in some areas. The staff claims hard times, not getting enough donations etc. Maybe so.

Haven't been there since this time last year. Might be in recovery mode.

Still worth a trip. Kids love it.

The Little River Zoo is located on 120th just south of Hwy 9.

Nice place to visit, maybe wait until its not like 9 or so degrees. I think its privately owned, so they run off donations. We went again last year, and some improvements had been made. Crowds will be much smaller, and the chance to closer to, or touch, any of the animals is far greater than the big zoo's.

It is a nice small, private run zoo. Nothin' fancy but kids really enjoy gettin' up close to the animals. Funding is tight now, like everything else. I always enjoy it.

It is OK but I much prefer GW. You can get closer to the animals and if you pay the extra to go in the back and they have babies, you can hold them. The wife with wolf hybrids and me with a baby black bear.

It' okay. Nothing worth a trip or anything, but if you're down that way it's good for the detour.
