Founded in 1909, Kansas City is a 202-acre zoo located in Swope Park in Kansas City, Missouri. Kansas City Zoo provides a home to over 1,300 animals and is considered one of the best zoos in America, due in particular to its 95-acre African animals exhibits, Australian animals exhibits, the exhibit titled Pachyderms: Elephants, Rhinos, Hippos as well as the kangaroo and chimpanzee exhibits. The zoo is divided into five zones: Australia, Africa, Tiger Trail, The Valley, and the KidZone. Stroll through the incredibly realistic Orangutan Canopy and learn from the keepers about the lives of orangutans and how they keep them busy and healthy, or visit fascinating Helzberg Penguin Plaza and watch these playful penguins above and under water.
