Come and see African elephants, white rhinos, and Bornean Orangutans at the Seneca Park Zoo . Watch Polar Bears and sea lions under water and 90 other species of animals that make their home in this 15.5-acre zoo in Rochester, New York. It is located in Seneca Park, which is one of several parks designed for Rochester by Frederick Law Olmsted.

When the zoo opened in 1893, all it had was an aviary with a few birds and several species of deer. One of the latest exhibits, the Rocky Coasts, opened in 1997, and it is considered to be the future of zoos; it is a state-of-the-art habitat that offers the zoo’s animals more spacious and natural homes.
