There’s definitely some decent trails if you want to go hiking. The major draw is the free zoo. It’s a great place to take kids! There are also picnic tables and camp sites on the property. Sometimes the trails get washed out by flooding though and parts of them will be closed.

Zollman Zoo sits in Oxbow Park a few miles west of Rochester and just north of Byron MN. Is it better than the Minnesota Zoo? Yes it is! You can actually see the wolves here(one was burying a chunk of meat when we were there). They also had otters, a black bear, coyotes, two types of fox, several raptors(even a snowy owl). They had 2 bowls one with prairie dogs and the other with a badger. Prize for the stinkiest animal goes to … the fishers. And what is Minnesota without horses, cows, turkeys, and chickens? They have a nice visitor area with small reptiles and a lot of hands on material. It’s family oriented, they even had some wagons available to help ferry the kidlets around. FUN

it’s free… it’s a wonderful place to take your small children or the kid that lives deep inside you. I nice little side-walked trail with a small zoo featuring some owls, hawks, wolves, turkey, there were some prairie dogs but they disappeared… I believe they had a bear and a bobcat in the past too. Then the trail ends and you cut across the grass and big open spaces where there are some bison roaming in a fenced field. There are plenty of little trails in the woods to explore and venture on which is fun if you like to walk in the woods. There are several areas to get out and enjoy a little picnic… Very nice area close to Rochester to take your family for free fun.

No dogs allowed on trails. Nice free zoo.

We had a great day here. Parked about a mile from the zoo and took the nature trail through the woods. Spent at least 2 hours at the zoo. Staff had some owls and hawks out, answering questions and showing off the birds. Then we got to watch feeding time for all the birds of prey. Friendly, clean, and free. Moving here from Chicago I was amazed at all 3 of those features.
