The 183-acre animal attraction known as the “Cleveland Metroparks Zoo” is a must-visit destination when visiting the city. The zoo has come a long way from its humble roots in 1882, when it only housed native animals: today it’s home to 3,000 animals across 600 species and has become a complete family entertainment experience. Exhibits for the elephants, tigers, snow leopards, rhinos are particularly immersive and visitor favorites include feeding lettuce to giraffes and ziplining over eagles!
