David Traylor Zoo The David Traylor Zoo in Emporia, Kansas is a small zoo, but far from the smallest in Kansas. The animals seem interested in the zoo's visitors to an extent that I suspect that people often ignore the signs and give them food. Until recent years, the larger hooved animals were in a separate area seen from your automobile, The zoo has done some extensive updating in the past few years and the areas which they have worked on are looking quite nice. There is still work to do and when we last visited in 2022 the zoo was actually smaller than it was when I last visited. The area for large mammals is closed and the only large animals I could see were American Bison in the distance. but the Zoo layout has been changed and there is a new path that crosses the dam from the Preston Forest Adventure. The Emporia Zoo is located in Soden's Grove Park, which has Sertoma Miniature Train which operates on summer evenings. Soden's Grove Park park also includes a Marsh arch bridge, which is no longer open to vehicles, Soden's Dam Falls and the All Veterans Memorial which has separate markers for each of the Civil War, Spanish American War, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam and Persian Gulf Wars.
