About this adventure
Como Park Zoo is a historic, free city zoo, ideal for leisurely strolls with a stroller. In the Polar Bear Odyssey exhibit, children can observe playful polar bears swimming and playing underwater through large floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The Tropical Encounters indoor exhibit maintains a humid tropical climate, offering close-up views of free-flying birds, sloths, and giant freshwater fish. The park's pathways are smoothly paved with gentle, unobstructed ramps, making it excellent for strollers. The visitor center features well-equipped family restrooms, changing tables, and a quiet nursing room. Adjacent to the park are spacious lawns and classic picnic pavilions. As a family-friendly landmark in the Twin Cities, it offers an engaging lesson in nature's creatures without the need for expensive tickets.
