Frommer's Review

"Russia's Grizzly Coast" became the Minnesota Zoo's newest exhibit in 2008, highlighting animals and habitats of Russia's eastern wilderness. Other favorites at this 485-acre zoo include an array of North American animals -- wolves, bison, pumas, and wolverines -- as well as exotic mainstays like tigers, camels, dolphins, and monkeys. The Minnesota Zoo also includes an IMAX theater and a monorail for easy navigation of the grounds. Allow 2 hours.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
