The Zoo is temporarily CLOSED to the public. Read the press release.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
During this time, our dedicated caretakers and veterinarians are continuing to provide the highest standards of professional care and welfare for our animals on site.
However, as the situation heightens and we remain closed to guests, our needs continue to grow. As a nonprofit organization, we rely on visitor admission to sustain our mission.
If you would like to help during this time, we would be so grateful for any gift you can make to the Zoo. Your contribution will directly help in the continued care of our 7,000 animal residents.
Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you when we reopen!
