Utah's Hogle Zoo

Frommer's Review

This small, modern zoo near the entrance to Emigration Canyon is home to 1,100 animals representing over 250 species. You'll find rare Grevy's zebras, and a giraffe house with a balcony so you can look eye-to-eye with the tall-necked creatures. The newer exhibits in the zoo include Elephant Encounter and Asian Highlands, the big cat exhibit that opened in Summer of 2005. In summer, rides on a small replica of an 1869 steam train are offered for the bargain price of $1. As with any zoo, it's best to visit in a cooler season, or at least the coolest part of the day, when more animals are out and about. Allow 1 to 2 hours. There are also bird shows throughout the summer months, as well as various education classes during all months.
