"Family first and they loved it!"
October 2018
First off this is an amazing place to have some family time. We took our grandsons hoping they would be able to burn off some energy. They notnonly had room to walk, and run, they giggled and asked questions non-stop. The staff was wonderful with them. We purchased the VIP tour and we were all able to handle the animals and feed the larger ones on the open windowed bus. We all had so much fun. The kids didn’t want it to stop. I will highly recommend this zoo to everyone and I will also encourage the schools for field trips. The best part is that the staff included the children. You’re only a kid once and they made sure they left with great memories.

"zoo fun"
August 2018
I had heard this wasn't much of a zoo but I totally disagree. The animals were as friendly as the staff and well care for. Just the right size zoo for a hot summer day. We definitely intend to visit the Christmas experience there as well.

Tip: The animals are very friendly. If you have a child that is afraid you may want to put them on the inside seat on the tram. A camel scared our Granddaughter out of her wits when it stuck its head in the window to eat koo ut of her bucket.

"Amazing!"
June 2018
The Promise Land Zoo not only met our expectations but exceeded them! The entire experience was great for the adults and our child! From holding a baby kangaroo to feeding different animals and a live show! The tram tour is well worth the extra fee and is an unforgetable experience! The driver kept everyone entertained with corny yet funny jokes and was willing to give us all the informstion on each animal that he could provide! The walkways in the zoo have plenty of shade! The pictures offered that they take are a little pricey for what they are but not bad!

Tip: For those with issues walking beware the walk ways are up and downhill! The animals were very active in the morning right as the zoo opens!

"Great Experience"
June 2018
Branson's promised land zoo is a great experience for the whole family. Using reservebranson it was easy to get the tickets for the times that we wanted and we were able to receive a discount on the tickets. There's access for all types of people young or old. You can walk through the zoo or you can drive through the zoo or if you want, for a VIP experience which is what we had, you can take a tram ride through the zoo and actually get to feed the animals out on the land. They have a great gift shop and all of the staff are friendly. With a VIP experience you got to go in a separate room and you got to hold three of the animals and learn about them. There was live animal shows where you could come up and pet the animals. All around it was a great trip, a great experience and we would definitely go again.

Tip: The walk through part of the zoo is paved but the road is uneven do to the winding road .There are some inclines, so if you go down the road it will be steep walking back up. We did see people with strollers.

The Promise Land Zoo was simply amazing! You are allowed to get up and close to the animals. You can feed a variety of animals and there are interactions with some of the animals. While on my visit I did the sloth interaction, and it was awesome!! An animal lovers paradise. I will definitely be going back!
