Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Topeka Zoological Park is located within Gage Park in the north central part of the city. With its many exhibits, it is one of the most popular attractions in Topeka.

Gage Park was the result of a donation of 80 acres from the Gage family to Topeka in 1899.

The zoo opened in 1933 but the first structure to house large mammals was not built until 1966. After that point, many new exhibits were built. The zoo was renovated in 2003 and several more exhibits were added.

Today these include Black Bear Woods, Discovering Apes, Jungle Cats, Kansas Carnivores, and the first indoor tropical rainforest in the U.S.
