Cosley Zoo - Wheaton, Illinois

Cute and fun! A smaller zoo with wholesome exhibits. My favorite animals were the lynx, donkeys, and the cows! All exhibits looked clean and the animals were well taken care of. A great place for families and kids.

We loved Cosley Zoo so much, we became members after our first visit. We have a toddler and it’s the perfect place for him to burn off some energy and view different farm animals up close. It has a small parking lot and things can get pretty busy on the weekends, but it’s a nice little gem in the burbs.

A small zoo, but everything is well-equipped, the animals are well-groomed, and the atmosphere is cozy. I like ❤️

Went and paid a visit here with my family over the weekend during a beautiful, sunny pre-autumnal day. We had such a blast. Our little ones had a delightful time spotting and identifying the various animals sometimes hidden within their confines. There were a decent number of people there, but despite that, it didn't seem to be that particularly busy. Just be forewarned, however, that if you are susceptible to and offended by the funky aroma of barnyard animals and are prone to immediate sickness due to foul odors permeating your nostrils, then perhaps it would be best if you stayed away from the goats, cows, horses, and pigs, as they smell quite gamey.

Overall, it is a fun and quaint little zoo to visit with your friends and family. Cosley Zoo is entertaining and educational for both the young and the old, so come one and come all and come check them out! Cheers!

The zoo offers a good alternative for weekend afternoon outings with the kids. Cosley is a small zoo but offers enough attractions to keep smaller kids interested. Not overwhelming. There is a place to grab a snack and sit down. Because of its compact size, the cages and enclosures are just too small for the animals. They are all cramped up in there. They also have a place for kids parties.

This is such a cute little zoo. My husband and I went here on a Saturday and it was so much fun. There are no exotic animals, exactly, but there are lots of local species to look at. My favorites were the rabbits, deer, and raccoons You could definitely spend a solid hour and a half here - longer if you enjoy simply watching the animals in their habitats. We are going to visit again!

A lovely little zoo to spend a few hours. Kids really enjoy feeding the ducks!
It's $2 cash per serving at specific times so be sure to check the time they start handing out the duck food.

Recently took my three year old niece for a visit. Perfect size for little ones. Barnyard animals galore. The staff is very informative and friendly. The animals are well taken care and seem in good spirits. The price of admission is reasonable. Definitely a cool place for little ones. Not too large and not too small.
