This place looked a bit rundown and we'll I live in the Hartford area and so its a hour drive for me, I feel its definitely not worth it. I agree with the person who says the areas were unfit for these animals. The animals had a very small living space. There is very tall grass and weeds all over the cages. It makes it look like they have barely any room to move especially in the area where the boars were. Most of the animals are there by theirselves and look very bored. There is a humongous tree taking a huge space in the small rectangular condor cage. I passed by where the American Bison was and there was an owl cage with a tree stump and on the tree stump was a dead baby chick with flies all over it. I'm not kidding. You look at the small tanks were the turtles are in *which is so small the snapping turtle takes up only half the tank* and all the takes have green residue on the glass. The area were the otters are stinks and seamed dirty. In one of the turtle tanks looked like a dead *just born* baby rat in the tank. I'm not kidding I have the video tape of it. It was sad. I mean if I ever go to the zoo again I'll go to the Bronx Zoo in NY atleast I won't feel so bad. I mean there are a lot of animals but it's soo poorly maintained compared to other zoos I have been too. Probably this is just my experience but I will not be going out of my way to visit THIS zoo again.

Filthy bathrooms.Filthy animal areas.Animal areas miniscule...it was sad to see all these beautiful creatures confined to such small areas. Even the waterfountain was filthy. The "rainforest" area had a stench that could knock you out and there were way too many animals bunched up together in that one little area.A VERY depressing place.Would not recommend unless you enjoy watching animals suffer in cramped captivity.

went to bridgeport to see friends and found the zoo very nice place. looking forward to going back.fun for the family this time i'm taking my nephews up there for a day trip.
