Como Park Zoo and Conservatory… sounds a bit stuffy, doesn’t it? The place is anything but! With over 2.5 million visitors a year, clearly, people love it – but there’s more to this St. Paul gem than meets the eye.
Animals are the stars here. You’ll find gorillas, polar bears, and so much more. But did you know some exhibits rotate? Check the website before you go, so you won’t miss your favorites. The Conservatory is a plant-lover’s paradise, with a wicked bonsai collection and stunning seasonal flowers.
parking gets crazy, especially on weekends. Arrive early, or be prepared to walk a bit. Hungry? The food’s surprisingly decent for a zoo, but it’s not cheap. You might want to bring snacks for the kids.
Como’s more than just cute animals and pretty flowers. They’re always expanding. That means some areas might be closed, but also exciting new things in the works!
It’s not a perfect place. Some enclosures feel a bit small, and crowds can be a problem. But Como truly cares about its animals and offers something for everyone. Don’t just take my word for it – go explore!
