Why you should go…

This nonprofit zoo covers 40 acres of Franke Park and is home to about 1,000 animals. You can wander the African Journey with lions, giraffes and zebras, the Asian Trek with orangutans and tigers, and the Australian Adventure, where stingrays and kangaroos live. Coastal Cove, reimagined and reopened in 2025, holds sea lions and a harbor seal, and you can brush a goat for free. The zoo runs on earned revenue and donations.
