About Red River Zoo

The Red River Zoo sits on a long-term lease of 34 acres in Fargo. It was built by a local zoological society formed in 1993 and opened to the public in 1999. The zoo holds accreditation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and lists animals such as red pandas, Bactrian camels, Sichuan takins, grey wolves, Pallas cats, and North American river otters among its residents. Visitors can also join animal encounters, a carousel, and education programs.
