Best Zoos & Aquariums in Moab for Kids & Families

Looking for the best zoos & aquariums in Moab for kids?

Whether you're visiting for the first time or looking for something new, we've rated every option for age-appropriateness, stroller access, and value so you can skip the guesswork.

Timing matters at zoos — animals are most active in the morning. Check feeding schedules and keeper talks before you go. Many zoos offer behind-the-scenes encounters worth the splurge. In Moab, expect hot summers (100F+), cold winters — spring and fall are the sweet spots. Pro tip: Arches requires timed entry reservations in peak season. Dead Horse Point is less crowded and equally stunning. Bring more water than you think.
