EXPLORE BY EXHIBIT

 


Temporary Exhibit Closures


All walk-through aviaries such as the Wetlands, Conservation Aviary and Savanna Aviary are temporarily closed to protect birds most at risk from exposure to Avian Influenza. The Tropical Rain Forest Dome will remain open at this time as there are currently no birds in the exhibit.

 

Discover the amazing animals and experiences that await you when you explore our award-winning exhibits!


Woodland Park Zoo's 92 acres is divided into bioclimatic zones, featuring different natural habitats ranging from humid tropical rain forests and coastal deserts to temperate rain forests like those of the Pacific Northwest.

CARING FOR ANIMALS

 

Ensuring Animal Wellness

Your zoo is accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums and has earned the Humane Certified™ seal from the American Humane Conservation program. Our mission is to save species, and it starts with the wellness of the animals in our care. It’s not only our responsibility—it’s our passion.

A newborn giraffe, a growing gorilla, and a geriatric penguin all need something different to thrive. Whatever it takes, we’re here to ensure they get it. Husbandry, nutrition, veterinary and exhibit design experts work together to assure individualized care for every animal of every species across their lifespan.

Our Mission

Woodland Park Zoo saves wildlife and inspires everyone to make conservation a priority in their lives.

Land Acknowledgment

Woodland Park Zoo recognizes that these are the lands of the Tribal signatories of the Treaty of Point Elliott. We acknowledge their stewardship of this place continues to this day and that it is our responsibility to join them to restore the relationship with the living world around us.
