I'm making a family trip to Cincinnati in the next few weeks and planning on hitting the zoo. I'm curious if there are any metal detectors at the entrances?

Last time I was there was 2 years ago and they didn't have them.

It is a posted no carry, but there are no metal detectors as of the last time I was there (a few months ago).

Not to thread jack, but what about the Columbus zoo?

I told the wife (huge critter lover) to figure out which one she wants to go to (cincy or columbus) and we will go in a few weeks. Also, any input over which zoo is better (regardless of personal security)?

The Internet says both are pretty good.

I'd choose cinci, but I'm slightly biased and Jack Hanna is an ass hat

The posting is a small sign on a kiosk as you pull into the parking lot... real easy to miss.
No metal detectors as of last week.

I've never seen a sign a either zoo.  You guys must have better eyesight than I do.

Nice. Are they going to give me shit for having a pocket knife (exposed clip), like seaworld did? Except at seaworld the guy failed to notice my poorly concealed (I don't bother to try any more) g19... whatever though, I walked back around, slipped knife in pocket and walked right through a different line, haha.

They've never said a word to me. I've seen dozens of others also.

its a great zoo. Rated one of the top 10 in the nation. Lots of money is constantly being put into it. You'll have a lot of fun.

No metal detectors. No obvious signs. No bag check (that I saw, we didn't have bags).

Smokers bring some chew, there's no where to smoke at all.

Good zoo. Better than philly but not as good as san diego.
