The Salisbury Zoo offers a pleasant experience for visitors, particularly families with children. This small, free zoo is well-maintained and provides an opportunity to see a variety of animals in a compact setting. Visitors often appreciate the zoo's cleanliness and the natural habitats for the animals. The zoo features a diverse collection of species, including big cats, primates, birds, and reptiles. Many guests enjoy the scenic walking paths and the shaded areas that make for a comfortable visit, especially on warmer days. The staff is generally noted for being friendly and knowledgeable. However, some visitors mention that the zoo is relatively small and may not offer as extensive a collection as larger zoos. Additionally, while many appreciate the free admission, this may result in limited resources for expansions or improvements. Despite its size, the Salisbury Zoo provides an educational and enjoyable outing for visitors, making it a worthwhile stop for those in the area.
I used to love going to this zoo but not anymore absolutely. I recently adopted a mini golden doodle as an emotional support animal for my mental health. We were let in by the greeter at the entrance of the zoo after I explained she was for emotional support, not to mention I had the girl I nanny weekly who is disabled and also loves the dog and it helps her to stay with me. Later on while on our way to her favorite animal, the flamingos, we were stopped by another zoo keeper who came and asked me what my dog was trained for (which is technically illegal) when I gave her a tiny explanation she told me we had to leave and escorted (walked behind us like a cop) the whole way out to the exit and did not say a thing the entire way until we walked out and she decided to apologize and tell us to have a great day. Not only did she cause me to go into an anxious panic but she also ruined the girl I nanny's day. I was very disappointed with how this was handled, I was extremely embarrassed because of her.
