Como Park Zoo & Conservatory

Como Park, St. Paul · Minneapolis · ~4.7 mi from downtown Minneapolis

OutdoorsFree gem

One of the last free zoos in America: polar bears, gorillas and Sparky the sea lion, plus the Victorian Marjorie McNeely Conservatory's palm dome and sunken garden — open 365 days a year. Como's own site says admission to the zoo and conservatory is always free (a voluntary donation is appreciated).
