Full disclosure: this visit to the Peoria Zoo took place during the pandemic, so some exhibits were not open. All of the indoor buildings were still closed to the public and the outdoor exhibits had an increased distance away from the animals to ensure their safety. They had also mapped out a one-way route through the park. We ended up going through twice because it can feel rather short when you don't see the inside exhibits. We still had a lot of fun though!
If you are looking for wow-factor animals, this is the zoo to visit in Central Illinois. They have giraffes, lions, rhinos, and zebras! I especially love the giraffe exhibit because the path winds on the edge and allows you to see them from several different angles. You can also see across the park into the lion's exhibit from the top of the giraffe's. It's super cool!
I think this would be a great place for a date or to bring your family!
