The Little Rock Zoo was founded in 1926 and started with only one retired circus bear and an abandoned wolf. It is located in Little Rock, Arkansas in the War Memorial Park. Today it stretches across 33 acres and is home to about 725 animals from 200 species. The animals are separated into areas according to their natural environment, diet, or species, and exhibits are designed to mimic animals’ natural habitats as much as possible. One of the most popular exhibits is Great Apes, a grassy, tree-shaded area in which visitors observe animals from a suspended walkway. In Lorikeet Landing, you can feed free-flying birds in a large space enclosed by a net. Arkansas Heritage Farm introduces life on a farm to children and has a barn, chicken yard, a barn house, and all kinds of animals that you would normally see on a farm.
