FAQs

What type of exhibits can I explore at the Zoo?

Woodland Park Zoo's 92 acres is divided up into 14 different sections. Most are based on distinct bioclimates and zones on our planet. Some of these include Tropical Asia, African Savanna, and the Temperate Forest. Kids ages 8 and younger will revel in the indoor play space, Zoomazium, where they can scale a mountain and climb a giant tree. For a special treat, take a ride on the historic 1918 carousel, just $2.

What endangered species are at the Zoo?
