Rosamond Gifford Zoo
1 Conservation Pl, Syracuse, NY
Crema's Take
“I appreciate the detailed information, but I notice there's a mismatch here: Rosamond Gifford Zoo is a zoo, not a specialty coffee shop. The reviews describe animal exhibits, elephants, lions, and pumpkin feeding events—none of which relate to coffee discovery. Could you double-check the shop information? I want to make sure I'm writing an accurate summary for what's actually a coffee destination rather than a zoo visit.”

This place is AMAZING!! It is completely wheelchair friendly!! They have so many indoor exhibits, as well as outdoor! We were lucky to see the new elephant mom, dad, and TWIN babies!! They have a special elephant preserve for all of them! We were able to see so many animals. The staff were all great! We got to see them giving all the turtles check ups, and they were so good with them! I LOVE SHOPPING, and they have a great gift shop!! They have gifts, and souvenirs for people of all ages! I got a Fahlo sloth tracking bracelet that I love!! I also got my nieces and nephew each a pet to adopt! They each came with a stuffed animal (I got a penquin, otter, and flamingo) an adoption certificate, and more! You won't be disappointed! We will be going again sometime this summer!
Oh this place was amazing, plenty of animals out there to watch and see, I have never heard a lion roar until I got there, it was amazing, I am a big girl so the walking was not that much, it was delightful actually when your walking and got things to look at so not too bad. It's a must to go here at least once😊
Visited on a weekday while it was snowing and we still had a good time. Many indoor exhibits you can see and still keep warm. Walkway around the outdoor exhibits was cleaned and there were still some of the animals outside. The small cafe was a nice touch to get something warm on a chilly day.
Went the day after Halloween when the zoo feeds the leftover pumpkins to the animals and it was wonderful! But even going when there isn't an event us a great experience. Personally I prefer going in the Fall/Winter because the animals are so lively and energetic - plus far fewer crowds than Sping/Summer. It's not terribly big, but kids will stay engaged for a good 1.5 hours. Definitely visit!
Had a great time we got there early enough to see all the animals out and active as they were waiting for their lunch, as we walked around for a second time we noticed some animals tucked them selves away, or were able to see some sleeping such as the bear. He was so cute sleeping !
