Whether you are a child or an adult, a visit to the Reid Park Zoo is an utter delight. The Zoo first opened in 1965 with just a few birds, farm animals, prairie dogs, and some squirrel monkeys.

Today, the zoo has 24-acres of naturalistic habitats that are home to elephants, lions, tigers, giraffes, zebras, monkeys, snakes, crocodiles, and so much more.

Every year, more than 600,000 enjoy a visit to the zoo, which has numerous educational programs aimed at promoting animal conservation and teaching visitors about the importance of animal diversity. You can choose among workshops for kids, summer camps, family programs, after-hours adventures, and a number of special events.
