Como Park Zoo & Conservatory Description
The Como Park Zoo & Conservatory is a great option if you want to see some wildlife but don't want to spend hours navigating a big zoo. Featuring aquatic animals, large cats, primates, tropical animals, and more, you can easily take in most of the zoo in an hour or two; and getting in and out is a piece of cake.

Kid Tips
Babies: Be sure to check out Como Town, a mini-amusement park that's right next to the zoo and conservatory and features rides mostly aimed at little kids.
Toddlers & Pre-K: Pack a lunch. There's a park with picnic tables near the zoo, so dine in and round out your inexpensive afternoon.
School-Age Kids: Como Park is home to a gorgeous, restored 1914 antique carousel, and babies under 1 ride free. This is a great opportunity for Baby's first ride.
Pre-Teens & Teens: The animals are up close and the zoo grounds are compact, so little legs won't tire out too much. You can get through the entire place in an hour or so if you want to.
