Miller Park Zoo

Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington, Illinois, offers a compact but enjoyable experience for visitors. The zoo houses a variety of animals, including big cats, primates, and local wildlife. Many visitors appreciate the zoo's small size, which makes it easy to navigate and allows for a more intimate animal viewing experience. The zoo's efforts in conservation and education are often noted positively.
