A complete list of rides at JJL from the website: The park is anchored by the classic Sea Dragon junior wooden coaster, the 2nd oldest operating coaster in Ohio. JJL features a decent amount of lightly-themed flat rides, and has always seemed to have a decent crowd. The area is the brainchild of longtime Zoo PR member Suzi Rapp, who regularly appears with Jack on Letterman, GMA, and the CBS Early Show. This is simply a must do if you head to the zoo, and it’s included with admission to either park. Throughout the day, you can meet and touch several of the zoo’s residents, including snakes and alligators, and also see stage demonstrations with cheetahs (as close as a few feet away, on leashes), Lynx cats, and some primates. You can see the daily “Walk of the Flamingos”, where the pink birds are walked freely from the exhibit inside the zoo out to their area in the village. The “village” is a collection of buildings in the old Key West style, mixing several different types of architecture with bright, tropical colors. Every day offers a new encounter and a new way to connect to the Zoo on a personal level. You may come face to face with a wallaby or see a cheetah on stage. Located in Jungle Jack’s Landing, this unique area gives you, the Zoo guest, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a close, personal connection with some of the animals that call the Zoo home. I’ll break the rest of the report down by individual park, with the photos included for the Zoombezi Bay and Columbus Zoo portions. The rides in Jungle Jack’s Landing work on a ticket/point system, but a very reasonable POP wristband is available. Zoo admission is included with a Zoombezi Bay ticket, and admission to Jungle Jack’s Landing and the Animal Encounters Village is included with Zoo or Zoombezi Bay admission. The ticket booths are outside the main plaza, and you can choose to buy a Zoo admission ($12 for adults, with discount tickets available at Kroger), or a Zoombezi Bay admission ($30 at the gate, discount tickets available at Kroger). If you turn left at the plaza, you’ll find yourself on a wide path that takes you to the Animal Encounters Village, Jungle Jack’s Landing, and at the end of the path you’ll find the main entrance for Zoombezi Bay. If you go straight through the plaza, you’ll pass thru the main entrance for the Zoo and Aquarium.

The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium was recently ranked as the number 1 zoo in the country, after spending years in the #2 spot, behind the San Diego Zoo.Īs you approach the Zoo from parking lot (on foot or on the free trolley service), you come to a gorgeous new entrance plaza which features food and drink, a gift shop, and guest services all situated around a large globe sculpture and fountain. For those of you who haven’ t made the trip, I cannot tell you how much you are missing.
Over the weekend, I had the great opportunity to take my family to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium for their “Media Appreciation Days,” a weekend every summer where working members of the media are invited into the park.
This my first PTR here, so go easy on me!Įdit: No, it isn't my first PTR on here.
